Took a car there for a simple inspection okay. I've been an inspector for 20 years. I had already gone through the whole car and did a whole bunch of work to pass inspection. new exhaust, engine work, computer problems, ball joints, all kinds of stuff. Take it to them just for a simple inspection and i'm very patient i didn't wait with it i dropped it off with them in the morning for the entire day. To do something , that I know, takes 20 minutes to do. Then i hear nothing from them that whole day, fine whatever. I don't call them, don't bother them, then on day 3 okay the woman calls me and tells me the car won't move. She says it starts up but they give it gas and it won't move.. I had been driving the car for 2 weeks making sure the computer was all gonna pass inspection, i knew there was nothing wrong with the car, but i didn't argue i just dropped what i was doing and went right over there, get in the car, start it up, its perfectly fine. back it up from the spot it was in drive it around to the garage, bang no problem. Now this is just an automatic it isn't very hard to drive i don't know what their damm problem with that was but I'd been driving the car every day for 2 weeks with zero problems. so thats about noon time now on day 3 i figure ok great i'll be hearing from them today. nothing. but i'm patient, i don't wanna break balls, i just leave it be. then he calls me late the next day . Day 4. and tells me my rotors are too thin. no way the rotors are fine but he tells me they are too thin and the brakes and rotors need to be replaced. now i know that isn't true , and he could see i had just done tons of work on the car, so to break my balls about some rotors being too thin, i've never in my life seen an inspector measure rotors but anyways whatever fine i still do not argue, i just asked him if he could put the sticker on for me and im gonna do the brakes no problem and of course he wouldn't, he tells me get the brakes put on today and just bring it back you'll get your sticker. so fair enough i go to pick up the car. the guy takes over an hour, yes over an hour just to pull the car out of the garage for me. i was sitting up the front just talking to the lady, took a stroll to dunkin donuts, over an hour just to pull a car out of the garage for me, by that point its too late in the day for me to get the brakes done and get it back to him so he says to just come tomorrow which was Saturday and i'll do the retest after you fix it.... fine..... whatever.... so i get the car back, they keep my registration since i'm coming back the next day right, so Saturday i go there early and the dude there tells me the owner isn't there to check back Monday.. .i'm like he told me he would do it today, so i just called back there a little later and the guy refused to do it. he just said no I'm busy i'm not doing it today. I'm only asking him to look through the wheels and he can see it has brand new brakes and print a sticker, something i know takes about 1 minute but he refused to do it, and i was going away the next day i basically begged him to do it and he just wouldn't said check with me next week. so i go away on vacation for 5 days and i come back. I go in there and ask them very nicely 1.) for my registration, and 2.) for a day and time to bring it back. I explained it isn't my car, and i just need to know a day and a time to bring it back for the retest. the guy tells me no problem just bring it back and ill do it.... but they did give me the registration... 2 days later we take the car back, and yet again, he refuses to do it, and says check with me tomorrow. now this was a simple inspection, on a car that had nothing wrong with it. When i put the brakes on it just to shut him up, i measured the rotors with a actual tool, and they 100% did not fail inspection. He dragged a simple inspection on a car with nothing wrong something that a normal person would bang out in ten minutes, into something that has dragged on for weeks. man seriously i know hes old i was wicked patient and wicked nice but its almost like hes deliberately messing with me and trying to waste my dam time, cuz hes sure wasted a whole lot of it.! And now i'm out the 55 bucks i paid them cuz we had to take it somewhere else for an inspection. we had to find a shop that knew how to drive automatics. read more
