So let me start this by saying that I was super hesitant based on the reviews but I tried my luck and you should too.
Bought a groupon for $30 for both inspections. Expected to have issues needing fixed and prepared as such. Re-read reviews and worked up some anxiety. Received a call stating my car was done and all was good. Picked up my car paid 4 dollars for taxes and drove away satisfied as can be.
***I am in no way affiliated with these people and this was my first stop there. That said don't blame the messenger for telling you your car needs work. It's their job to follow the requirements of the laws, not to maintain your investment. My car is 16 years old. I take care of it. Thus the cheap inspection. You blaming the shop for your car needing work deters potential responsible car owners from taking advantage of a good deal and solid work from a reputable shop***
