Yeah, the shops here are licensed too, but I don't think that the government really clamps down on it too much, except for one every five years or so when most of the shops lose their licenses and then get them back a few months later.

It's encouraged here for people to take inspection faults to a different shop for repair so that inspectors can't make up faults and charge you money for making an imaginary repair. In fact, it might be the law that a shop that performs an inspection isn't allowed to make those repairs, but I could be wrong about that.
