inner tie rod. which my father and i did ~2 months ago. i know somebody on here has a hookup or something. i’d wait it out a week but she has no sticker at all now… i could really really use a hand. and i am not trying to get it inspected for free, i have no problem with paying for that, but if you can lead me to someone who can hook me up i will get you a sixxer of your choice or mighty or something Bt when it opens back up, i just really need this favor. ---

I thought that under NYS inspection laws you cannot be forced into having a car repaired at the shop that deemed the car unsafe and are given the opportunity to have the car repaired elsewhere? Am I just imagining reading that? Edit ------------------ “You are not required to have your vehicle repaired or re-inspected at the station that performed the initial inspectionl Your vehicle may be taken to any registered repair shop, or you may make the required repairs yourself. Your vehicle must then pass a new inspection, at an inspection station of your choice, before an inspection sticker will be issued.” -[http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/broch/c-50.htm](http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/broch/c-50.htm) Doesn’t say anything about them not being able to release the car to them. Tell them to show you the law that says you can’t have the car back. ---

I drove it for a few days with out it and just parked it in the garage until i could find somewhere to get it done. ---

Go get your car. They can’t keep it. If they say they can’t let it leave, threaten to call the cops. Just tell the police you want to take it elsewhere and the shop keeps insisting you can’t. In my experiences, your usually better off at a small privately owned shop. Yes, most of the time you need to make an appointment, but they won’t try to milk you $600 for a $20 part. ---

Why is every Monro so shady? The one in Hamburg tried to get my mom for almost $400 for a ~$50 exhaust pipe on her Windstar, to replace the rotted one that THEY installed only 1.5 years before that. She almost paid it. I convinced her not to, and she had her mechanic do it for next to nothing. ---

^they can only scrape the sticker off if it’s expired. At that point who cares if you are driving with an expired sticker or no sticker. Just stick a hat or something in the windshield so a passing cop can’t easily tell that the sticker is missing. Then take is somewhere else.
