"19-point ASE Certified Inspection"

It would help if we knew who was asking for it.

 

Yeah there is such a thing, it is a 19 point inspection done by an ase certified mechanic.

This is done on smaller vehicles, not on trucks. Lyft and uber both have a check list on their website.

You dot inspection is the only legal inspection that is required and covers more than 19 points.

 

The dot inspection is the official inspection that the state accepts for road vehicles.

 

While true, This sounds like he is trying to lease on to a company that just happens to be the government. They can still make up requirements they want.

That said it's likely just bureaucratic cruft. All vehicles must meet this standard, and they have no provision for actual CMV annuals in the paper work. If they reject it, simply ask them what they want. I'm sure they can point you to a location that will do it.

 

I got that from the first time he mentioned the city. So I asked my safety girl last night about it because she used to work for Indianapolis and she said that the 19 point inspection was for smaller vehicles and that was a codified requirement however having the DOT inspection done by an ASE Heavy Truck certified mechanic who will write their cert number down on the form was acceptable for them and met the requirements.
