I have to get my car ( '02 BMW 325 ) inspected before 6pm tonight. Anyone help me out?

I dont want to go to a place that I dont “know” anyone.

All of the shops that I would go to are full.

I believe these threads usually result in the temporary loss of an inspection license.

it doesnt appear that hes asking for a “throw a sticker on a car” deal.  
looks more like hes just trying to find a place that has a spot open to get the inspection done.

lol, the car is fine. I am not looking for a shady deal. I just dont want to walk out with $70.00 inspection cause they think I need new wipers, ect. I just replaced the brakes ( all four ) and when the car was on the lift I looked everything over. The car has no lights on, i just want to walk in and talk to a car guy not a chump.

I just go to Valvoline on Sheridan, near Millersport. They never bother me about extra crap and I usually never have to wait.

x2. I also sometimes go to the NFB one. Since they don’t do repairs, they usually are pretty honest.

So, drove around looking for “none” full shops:

1. Oil change place, main and youngs -\> computer was broke for NYS.
2. Delta Sonic, walden and union -\> 3 hr wait
3. Oil change place, dick rd and broadway -\> 2hr wait
4. Monro, dick rd -\> 30 min wait, i said “OK” -\> 45 min later car goes in… then fails for

> Check mirror locations for proper mounting, cracks, breaks, and/or discoloration  
> …ugh. I didnt even think the “dirty mirror” counts has discoloration… so I started to whip it off. I was told it wouldnt work -\> then I then ran on foot to AZ on walden and transit -\> bought a truck replacement mirror -\> ran back -\> taped it on -\> went inside -\> asked for it to be reinspected -\>passed. I was also told that the belts need to be replaced and I should have them replace it for $300 cause it is a BMW…

yup, glad that is over. 🙂

That is me. My business partners brother drives. Yes I use Frank’s for towing, he is a great guy. How do you know us?

Sorry I couldn’t help you out Dan. Today turned into a wicked shitfest. Anytime clutch and exhaust manifolds are done in the same day stuff is guaranteed to suck. Glad to hear you got it done.
