My best friend is a mechanic & NC licensed inspector. Just in case there's still confusion, pretty much _any_ state-licensed inspection station in NC _can_ do a state-mandated safety inspection. This is required for all motor vehicles licensed in NC. At a minimum it's a lights-tires-brakes-horn-wipers-exhaust-window tint visual & audible inspection. This is necessary before annual license renewal. The problem comes in when it won't fit into the bay, or on a level pad outside (theoretically required for checking headlight aim).
Then on top of this, some counties also require an emissions inspection at the same time. These are mainly the most-populated counties. For my county (Buncombe) it's 1996 and later (OBD II), and under 8200 lbs. They plug in a wireless OBD II reader, and go to the NC state DMV website; the code reader is linked to the state website, so it's hard to fake an emissions test.
I suspect the OP will be exempted from the emissions test on weight. Even my little Tiger class C is. But that's my county. I'm not sure of the OP's county regs. The best way to be sure is to do some reading on the NCDMV website.
