Gothenburg, Sweden, 2012-07-13 11:39 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
The new Wisconsin Vehicle Inspection Program (WIVIP) was successfully launched on July 1st. The old centralized stations, now closed as of June 30th, have been replaced by 200 independent auto service businesses serving the seven-county region, including Greater Milwaukee, Sheboygan, Waukesha, Racine, and other cities.
According to Program Manager Jack Pierce, the new decentralized network performed 10,000 inspections by 194 stations in the first week of the program. Wisconsin motorists can now take advantage of the added convenience of Systech’s new registration renewal process at participating stations, and according to Pierce, 10% of them did just that. “It was an excellent start to an exciting new program,” said Pierce.
The new stations feature all-new Systech OBD Analyzer equipment, which includes innovations such as Integrated Registration Renewal Services and Live Chat. In addition to registration services, Wisconsin motorists now have their choice of more inspection station locations to choose from, and for many, closer to home.
