in durham, on roxboro rd, there's a mobil1 station that does inspections...some indian guy owns it

i have heard from friends that he will routinely pass just about anything that isn't emissions, but he might say you need new windshield wipers or something...i can't swear he will pass illegal tint, but i've heard he passes busted lights, driver-side windshield cracks, etc.

that doesnt matter. the window could be broken all over. as long as it doesnt cut up the wiper blades. it passes

11/17/2008 3:28:43 PM

^ i thought it would be in your field of view?

11/17/2008 4:14:22 PM

nope. pretty funny how that works though

11/17/2008 4:39:32 PM

What if you just roll down the windows and pull the fuse?

11/17/2008 4:46:28 PM

umm, they arent stupid. most cars the back windows dont even go down all the way.

plus they'll see it on the other windows and be suspicious.

11/17/2008 4:56:52 PM

they have to check every window. if they cant roll the windows up they will fail you.

11/17/2008 4:58:38 PM

yeah, lotsa inspectors know this trick, and they'll check to see if the windows roll up.. they'll even check for the fuse, it doesnt take but a few seconds.

11/17/2008 5:00:07 PM

and if the fuse is pulled they will sell you one then fail you.

11/17/2008 5:07:39 PM

LOL

shoot, i would sell the fuse for $15

i have a friend of the family who does our inspections...it makes little difference to me

11/19/2008 10:58:58 AM

^^^^ well it goes as incomplete in my book. meaning the costomer should come after the repair. i make a note on the invoice. then call bonnie at dmv. to tell them watch just happened. i like flagging tags

11/19/2008 12:13:58 PM

ha that's a bitch thing to do.

11/19/2008 4:25:36 PM

its not that hard to find a place....before I started going to the same place regularly, I'd just go to a garage and ask...if they don't actually start the inspection, they can't be a dick. I actually only ever had one place tell me they wouldn't pass it.

Well there are no inspection stickers per say anymore, so that law is out dated.



somehow they still charge you the 6.75 for a E-sticker though.. lol

since when did they stop doing inspections?

if they still do inspections people will still ask. therefore its not really out dated, amirite

you are a moron. that only means it's illegal to ask for or take anything in exchange for doing any inspection, be it a legit pass, an illegal pass, or a fail. it has jack shit to do with telling a customer if their vehicle is going to pass or not and entering things into the computer.

in no way is it illegal to answer a question of whether or not you'll pass a car based on something being wrong with it. it only becomes a violation after you accept any form of payment OR you pass a vehicle knowing something is wrong with it/not following the correct inspection procedures.

yeah i guess you have never heard of soliciting information.

11/20/2008 1:54:30 AM

^none of what you posted indicates it is illegal to simply answer a question pre-inspection.

11/20/2008 9:00:35 AM

HAHAHAHAHAHA ITS ILLEGAL FOR ME TO TYPE THINGS ON THIS WEBSITE!!!!!

exactly

11/20/2008 9:16:16 AM

okay well lets do this experiment. have a dmv officer presant when somebody asks you that. answer yes or no and see what happens. i only know this cause a guy at a shop i used to work at got a ticket for it, cause it was an under cover agent that asked him

11/20/2008 3:15:41 PM

wait?

so the undercover dmv officer asked if the guy would pass illegal tint, the guy said no, and he still got a ticket?

11/20/2008 9:25:45 PM

umm, i think the Q at hand is whether or not you can ask the inspection officer if the car, in general, will pass inspection.. in that case it doesnt matter. hell even if it did matter and they had to run the test and it failed, you dont pay, so its his time wasted.

but maybe im lost i dont know.

but if you ask the guy to pass you on illegal tint, then yeah, cant do that

What's the law on side mirrors? some idiot hit the saturn mirror again-- and I'm not about to replace the whole thing again, but I need to go get it inspected today. Atleast they didn't ruin the housing this time.

11/26/2008 1:42:52 PM
