I generally liked this place and went to them for inspections every year and occasional simple repairs or oil changes. This year, I got my Toyota inspected and thought it was fishy that he failed me and did not provide a rejection sticker. He wanted to cut the muffler because he claimed excessive noise and failure along the exhaust system. There was no report of exhaust failure, but he just showed me where the muffler was weak.
I took the car to my usual mechanic, who said there was nothing wrong with the exhaust system. When I told him who had failed me, he laughed and said that the mechanic had lost his license to perform state inspections twice. So I am out $40 for the "failed" inspection. My wife was even more frustrated and went back to confront him. He said it was "not my fault that the other guy passed it" and that I should bring it in, put it on the lift and he would show her why it needed replacing. However, the combination of a lack of rejection sticker and the vibe I got makes me think he is not altogether honest. I won't be returning here for inspections, oil, or gas. I would advise you all to do the same. read more
