Is my mechanic jacking up my inspection?

[Medikerik]

This is starting to get a bit ridiculous. Thanks to ya'll I finally have the exhaust problem solved. I fixed the coolant leak, figured out why it was dripping oil, replaced some of the hoses and wires, yada yada yada. Guess what? It failed inspection again! Among other issues was "window rises crooked". It goes down... it goes up... it seals... whats the big freaking issue? Is this an actual flag or am I being taken for a ride here? I don't see why he'd do this (I'm not paying the shop anything for re-inspectoins, I do the work myself and with friends) and he's been pretty straight to me on my previous vehicles... or is this just someone who has an attentiveness to detail that's a pain in the ass?

Did he tell you why you failed??

Your window is probably just off track, take off the door panel and check it out.

What state is it in. As long as it rolls down you should be fine. Windows, coolent leaks, oil, hoses, etc are bs reasons to fail someone.
In most states you can go to a third party station if you do not agree with what he is saying.

Thankfully, problem solved. The main guy went home, and one of the other guys who works there said "I lubed up the track, it works fine, it's passed". Thank God. I was about to blow a gasket and kirk out on the main mechanic.

And I just saw another note... another "fail point" which the other mechanic ignored was a HOLE IN THE SHIFTER BOOT. Seriously?

do you get dinged for rips int he seat and non performance tires?

[Medikerik]

Maryland. And amazingly enough he didn't ding me on the tires which he should have; they were thin as anything (I had new ones put on anyway).

maryland hmm i will remember to never move there. florida is so easy going when it comes to inspections.........there isn't any. the green folks would hate me when i only had a 5' downpipe nothing else

$69? Holy Chit.

My inspection was $17.

[The G-Man]

$69 each year? Damn, that is high as a kite.

Safety only in NC (OBD-I and older, all diesels) is under $10. Emissions for anything (OBD-II) is $30.
