I visited this Shell station to get my car inspected. I had just had my oil changed and car checked at my regular mechanic in Springfield (Rolling Road Sunoco) less than 6 weeks earlier, but Glebewood Shell was closer and more convenient so I stopped by there on a weekday morning expecting a smooth and quick inspection. I was in for a rude surprise. After waiting about an hour, I was told by the employee that one of my brake pads was so thin that the car failed the inspection and could only pass if I had the brake repaired. They quoted me more than $500 for the repair. Again, I was very surprised because my brakes had just been checked by a reputable mechanic not long before. I ended up just paying for the inspection and then driving the car to my regular mechanic in Springfield to look at. As I suspected, the brake pads were in perfectly fine condition and didn't require any repair. I had the car reinspected at the gas station in Springfield and the car passed. I called Glebewood Shell and told them that it appeared that they had fraudulently failed my car and they refused to even refund the cost of the inspection or admit any wrongdoing. I then called the Virginia Sheriff's Department and a sheriff's deputy checked the car and affirmed the work of the inspector in Springfield and cited Glebewood Shell's inspector. He also mentioned to me that this is not the first time the inspector at Glebewood Shell has been issued a citation for fraudulent inspections. STAY AWAY UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE SCAMMED! read more
