I always go to the state inspection station around 7:30 in the morning, usually very small lines if any at all. And the guys are usually in a good mood because idiot people haven't ruined their day yet. But I will say I saw at least 5 cars pull out of line when I went a few weeks ago, so make sure all your paperwork is in order, check your rear license plate light bulb and it might be worth replacing the gas cap since you can't really test that to see if it holds pressure. Failing for the gas cap and plate light suks and forces you to have to go back.
