Seeking a reliable part-time retired (or semi-retired) certified mechanic for simple, low-effort visual inspections of recently imported vehicles in the Niagara Falls, NY area.
Job is very light and straightforward:
Visual check of the vehicle (mostly looking at existing labels/compliance stickers)
Applying an importer compliance label if needed
Taking a few photos
Signing off on the inspection/documentation

This includes km/h to mph conversions, accurate adjustments for gear ratio differences, tire size variations, and verification using GPS or dyno methods to ensure precise and legal readings."

Valid mechanic certification (ASE, NY State Motor Vehicle Inspector certification, or equivalent recognized credentials)
Reliable transportation to meet at vehicle locations around Niagara Falls, NY (border area convenient)
Basic smartphone for photos
