Thanks, Les.
Just took my daily driver (toyota hybrid) for the inspection. I am attaching a snapshot of what the report looks like. It turns out they do an OBD test, visual smoke test and also catalytic converter test (probably the one where they attach a hose to the tail-pipe).
I asked them is there a way for me to check if an out of state car passes the VA inspection. The inspector told me the best thing is to run a computer code test (i guess that's the OBD).
