Yes you have to pay for re-inspection, and it matters what you fail for. You failed the safety portion so you will only pay 10 bucks to reinspect. I have failed before for having a licence plate light out at valvoline. The socket was rusted out so they could not just pop a bulb in. The other one worked but they still failed me.
I need to find a place for my pops for his 58 MGA. The car is absolutely spotless, and he cringes when greasy mechanics crawl into his car and poke around at it.
take the MG to nicks shop…im sure he will help u out
How do you guys with the turboback exhausts etc. manage to pass every year? (i.e. poopra)
i’ve heard that, too - but better than firestone!
honestly, just make an app’t to a shop you take your car to the most. even if there isn’t one, geez - we’re on a car forum, make a thread about where to get a good, legit inspection that won’t rip you off… then we’d have no more ‘fuckin’ goddam firestone sucks!!! OMG what a surprise 
My car is old, does not need a OBD II test. The exhaust portion of the inspection for my car is just a visual that it has a cat. I dont have a cat on though but never failed
Stupid ass OBD2
Thats only cuz steve hooks you up.
Just make sure all your emissions stuff is hooked up, and that the car isn’t running rich.
tunning software, atleast for us domestics.
But there’s no way i’d get away with not having a cat
Then put your cat on. Or run a hi-flow cat. Honestly for the cost and HP, there is no excuse not to run a cat for an OBD-II car.
Yeah I know, this is all for future reference. I was planning on a high flow cat.
shrugs, I’m glad I have the hookup for the Inspections… no need to bother with emissions, cats, or anything else; even for an OBDII car. As long as I pass a plug-in test, I have a blind inspector.
no gym from home?
I never go to Firestone or Goodyear unless I know somebody that works there. Just not worth the hassle. Because unless you know someone, those places will try to rip you off. Thank God Sean’s a nice guy!!
they fucked you dude…new york law says only one has to work if two are present…
I got tired of dealing w/ firestone after arguing w/ them for 30 min i decided… not worth my time… I will be seeing sean at his new and improved location… closer to my house 
I’ll also bring the V-Daub to him to see if he can figure out the tricky tricky way to get into reverse…
what kind of car do you have?
i work there but wasnt around liek at all today (out delivering shit)
if you do plan on going there again call me first n ill try to talk to jim or who ever you talked to with you

btw: who did the inspection?
When I first got my ESi (and was a no0b), I took it to Firestone for an oil change (one on rte 9 in Latham/for you Albany members). Never will do business with them again. They dumped 6 quarts of oil into that engine=blown seals for the spark plug cylinders. It took me almost 5 months of fighting with their corporate office before I was compensated for the repair.
