Where is the best place to get my car inspected. There are really only 2 reasons that it would fail (tint and straight pipes), but i would prefer to go to a shop that likes performance cars and wouldn’t make a big deal about the modifications. You can PM me answers if you don’t want to give out the shops that are lenient on a public forum…
can’t fail for tint. it’s an enforcement issue. straight pipes shouldn’t fail either, as long as they clear the body. again, an enforcement issue
I’ve never failed for tint on any of my cars. Like it was said, that isn’t an inspection issue. They can’t fail you for that. Which is such an oxymoron if you can get pulled over for it, but whatever.
What I did fail on the Audi for was the friggen 8mm wheel spacers. Which, I might add, don’t even push the wheels out as far as some of the stock Audi wheel options. But I need them to clear my big brakes. But they told me it was unsafe for the stress it puts on the tie rods and control arms. I’m like, no, open track day puts stress on those, the spacers aren’t nearly as bad… I had to borrow wheels to pass from a buddy and the brake clearance was like a twat hair.
Moral of story; don’t go to Elizabeth Auto Care.
So, I need a place to get mine done, too, that could care less about wheel spacers. Unless Santa pulls through and I can get track-specific wheels that clear my brakes by January.
What about Mark Robert’s dad’s place down by Perry? Are they an inspection station?
