My wife’s planning on getting a new car this summer, but before that occurs, she’ll need to get this one inspected.

Since we’re planning on getting rid of it, I don’t want her to go somewhere that’s gonna go overboard. It’s a '98 Cav, with 105k, and it’s in pretty good shape. I just don’t want someplace that’s gonna tell her she won’t pass without changing the headlight fluid and repairs to the flux capacitor.

Any suggestions in the Kennedy/Robinson/Cory area?

Thanks!

What’s really wrong with it that you think might fail inspection?

lol i read that wrong at first. Thought you said " It needs headlight fluid" … Best thing to do is find someone from off here. I use to work at a garage and would slap stickers on for you but i work for wm now. DO NOT go to one of those garages that say $10 inspections. Yea its 10 cuz they are gonna say u need 400 in repairs

AFAIK, nothing. Runs great, stops great, no suspension issues (did the lower control arm back in December), lights work, no holes where there shouldn’t be…It’s just gettin’ old, is all.

Just that every time she takes it to the stealership to get it done, she winds up spending a couple hundred. I wanted to have her take it somewhere else.

just make sure shit like signals, brake lights work…wipers are good. parking brake works, tierods/balljoints, no cracks in the windshield…pads/shoes okay etc

dealers provide a service. no one I know would call for anything not needed

I’ve taken mine back to C. Harper Ford where I bought it for free inspections the past two years and they haven’t found a single thing wrong either time. I was actually anticipating them finding several things considering it was a free inspection.

learn how to take care of your vehicles. I’ve never needed anything I didn’t know about :dunno:
