Florida does not require periodic safety or emissions inspections for passenger cars. The state's emissions inspection rules were repealed in 2010. A used vehicle coming in from another state needs a VIN verification on form HSMV 82040 or 82042 before it can be titled in Florida. Details are on the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles site. Florida's Motor Vehicle Repair Act requires paid repair shops to register with the state, and the bill cannot go over the written estimate by more than $10 or 10 percent (up to $50) without the customer's consent. Customers must get a copy of any document they sign. Read the rule.

About 56 inches of rain fall in a year. Worn tires lose grip on wet roads well before they look bald, and streaky wipers are a cheap fix worth doing before the wet season, not during it.
