Tried to charge me $65 for an inspection.my car was already inspected,just needed him to look it over and fill out the form Uber gives its drivers for inspection.went else where and they did it for free.
I love that the owner came here to admit that he tried to over charge me.
Yes,this was a 2 minute interaction where he told me he would charge me 1/2 hour labor ($65)to do an Uber inspection and I laughed and walked out.
An Uber inspection is a state inspection.same exact thing. But instead of charging me the sate inspection fee(wich every other garage I've been to has charged for this or have done it for free)he wanted to charge me more then twice that amount.
This garage had a choice:
Take a car that was already had a fairly new inspection sticker on it(which I had informed them it had) and just charge me the inspection fee rate and fill out the form...or charge me a half hours labor charge.
Well,you can obviously see money was more important to this garage then a repeat customer.
For the record at no point did I imply any work was attempted on the vehicle so I have no idea why the owner rambled on about that all in an attempt to validate his reasoning.
Anyway,in the end,he admits here that he tried to over charge me by using the logic that,sadly,so many mechanics are known for.
It's hard enough to find honest ones.
At least here they admit to what they tried to do.
Do what you will with this info,but I will never go back here.
Also,make it a point to look at other reviews here and the responses to them.tells you a lot.

Went there this morning to get a sticker. They failed me they said they emergency brake was stuck but it was and it was dragging but come to find out it was in four-wheel drive. Call them and they didn't have anything to say they said mistakes happen I don't know how you can have that as a mistake if you're a mechanic you should know it's in full drive but whatever

I went to get an inspection check. They failed me because my windshield liquid was too low to check. So instead of just putting a little bit in and testing it, they failed me. I went across the street to the AutoZone, put in some liquid and it worked immediately. Talked to a friend about this and they said that Jim's failed him for having one of those plastic covers on the license plate. He asked if he could just remove it and they said they would either need to charge for labor to do it ($80 per hour) or have him do it and then recharge immediately for a new inspection. Personally, I find this absurd and telling of how money-hungry they are. I want to also add (not be cruel or insensitive) but the person working on my car had alarmingly poor hygiene. I understand that we all have different levels of "standards of hygiene" but this was like I have never seen in a place of business before. Garages are dirty places and I expect mechanics to be (reasonably) dirt but this was ROUGH..in many ways that were completely non-mechanic related. The treatment over the inspection sucked but tbh this guy's hygiene made me nauseous and is the main reason I would not go back.

They were amazing! They walked me through different things I will need to get replaced in the next year and things to do to make my car last longer in the future! All in all, fantastic experience! I absolutely will send my family and friends here in the future! Service: Vehicle Inspection
