My insurance company told me I have 5 days to get my car a photo inspection. Apparently I just have to find a shop that does it. It takes 5 minutes, free, and they handle all the paper work. I just need my policy number. Anyone able to point me in the right direction of a shop that can do this in the Amherst, Tonawanda, North Tonawanda area? ---

It is a “Photo Inspection” tons of shops do it. just call your insurance company or go on their website and find the nearest location to you. It is standard practice these days. ---

Geico sent me to Schmitts on Sheridan for both my cars. Call your insurance company and ask them who to take it to. ---

OIC. Yep, standard procedure. Should take 5 minutes, unless you go to the Monroe on Delaware and have to spend 5 minutes trying to explain to the tech that your truck has a 6 speed manual transmission. “What type of transmission?” “Six speed manual.” “So it’s an automatic?” “No, it’s a stick.” “Like a standard, you mean like it has a clutch pedal?” “Yes.” “Oh. So what is it, a 4 speed?” “Six.” “You mean like 1-2-3-4-5, and reverse right?” “No 6 forward gears and a reverse gear.” “So it’s a seven speed?” “Die.” [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/photo-inspection/60815.md?page=2)
