Inspection & Repair Industry: Inspection Update Newsletter

Current Issue
Past Issues (Archive)

The Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) and their contractor, Parsons, recognize the need to keep vehicle inspection and repair professionals up-to-date with changes to the Massachusetts Vehicle Check program, technical lessons learned and other related information. A quarterly newsletter, Inspection Update, is published and distributed to licensed inspectors and registered emissions repair technicians and shops.

MassDEP, RMV and Parsons are committed to conserving natural resources as much as possible. If you would like to help save paper, please ask us to send your quarterly copy of Inspection Update by email or send you an email reminder when the latest issue is available for download from this website.
