I am now convinced it is a complete racket.
Three different inspectors found issues.
None of them overlapped.
Two inspections actually came from the same shop about seven days apart.
I argued a lot about this, but at the end of the day, I still had to pay for parts, although labor was waived.
Bottom, line, I had to dump several hundred dollars on things that were "safety" issues.
They also wanted to charge another 100 for replacing a bad fog light assembly, I asked them if I had to and they said I either had to take them both out or get it replaced before they would release the car.
I took those suckers out. Not just the bulbs mind you, I had to take the entire assembly out to get my car back.
Tomorrow I will be putting them back in.
