    $250k investment on the emmisions. You want a location as close to a DMV or drivers license center as possible. Look into counties that do no have emmisions yet but are in the books for the near future...BUT they've been saying "next year" for the past 3 years in Hall County, 55,000 registered vehicles there...that may include trailers but not possible...kinda hard to do emmisions testing on them

    As for a location, like i said as close to a drivers license center as possible, maybe a gas station with an abandoned car wash...they break ALOT with a high overhead and rarely get fixed....but i think the major issue is they're not willing to spend the money on routine upkeep. Anyways, you find one of those abandoned car washes and setup emmisions there...simply leasing the building. It's not doing anything anyways but taking up space and you're bringing them customers each time someone comes for emmisions...so negotiating a fair lease price should be easy

    As for the equipment, $25 each car and i think $7 goes to the state. You can lease the equipment for another $7-8 or so. That's $25 minus about 15...ugh.
