I will say I have seen ASS go out of their way to help a buddy of mine and charge him very reasonable labor. While I dont think they are the best automotive establishment in the area your situation sucks OP i’ll agree to that. I had a bad experience a few years ago with them and for that I would never bring my car back, but thats how I am. I had a bad experience at LIA Honda when I got home from deployment about purchasing an 05 TL and I will never buy a vehicle from any LIA establishment again. Not that they need my buisness because they are clearly very well off but FUCK LIA. ---

Jiffy Lube ftw when it comes to inspections, as crazy as that sounds. Takes 10 minutes and all they do is pull the car into the bay and then back out, a total of about 1 car length. Just don’t let them do anything else, like change the oil. ---

Nothing is going to be a “safety concern” on a 6 year old car that’s been properly maintained. I’d rather be able to watch someone with my rolling asset instead of handing over the keys to some 17 year old goofball who is going to take it out of sight and do who knows what to it. Thank you for your concern, though. Fag ---

Both of your statements completely prove my point. While a 6 year old car isn’t likely to have say a rotten frame there are still plenty of other safety items that should be checked yearly. So you guys are telling me you both jack up all 4 corners of your cars atleast every 12 months and get completely under the vehicle and inspect everything?

> [@Hang Your Cross"](#): > > actually, i was under my car today fixing stuff. and my name isn’t Harry. Ok, but you do understand the point of the safety half of a state inspection is to make sure that all the vehicles on the road are safe to operate right? Let me phrase this differently. You have a wife and a young child right? Lets say I’m a do it yourself kind of guy who thinks I know what I’m doing, but fail to notice the hydraulic brake booster leaking on my 7000 pound 3/4 ton truck. Since state inspections are just a waste of time and don’t require a real mechanic to perform I go to Iffy lube and they just check my lights and slap a sticker on it. Well 3 week (or however long later) your wife and kid are driving infront of me and have to make an emergency stop. I jam on the brakes and the previously leaking but functional booster finally blows a seal and I rear end them. Hopefully nobody is hurt, but then again if the tech doing the state inspection gave a damn about his job and responsibility I would have atleast known I needed to fix my truck. Anyway the whole point of the KK rant is while it may be ok to sticker slap newer low milage vehicles the whole point of state safety inspections is to protect the public. Take it as you will, but it is important since well over 90% of the people out there driving around barely know how to put gas in their damn car. They trust the person doing their inspection to know what they are doing and actually inspect the car and make sure it’s safe to drive. So yes the guys at Jiffy lube, Valvoline and alike that don’t do what they’re suppose to are an issue. ---

As long as you’re not throwing any codes they’ll pass you with a hi-flow cat. They have passed my Evo for 3 years now. However, as Alpine said, do not let them perform any other work on your car. As far as ASS goes I’ve never had any issues with them but in my experience I’ve found them far more expensive then even the dealership. I would never go back and I would never recommend them. ---

Also, I would have not had an issue if they told me that it wasn’t a good idea when I scheduled the inspection. They knew the car. I had less of a problem with the tech and more with Daryl amd Harold. So to recap, and you guys tell me if I’m crazy, timing belt installed a toith off which results in three extra days without my car, part is not on site for a job that was scheduled two weeks prior and wasn’t on site when I left, inspection that they had passed illegally before was scheduled knowing that it wasn’t gon a happen again without giving your customer a heads up, and the shop owner suggests billable hours of fabrication to trick the dude right behind him…THEN my timing belt skips three teeth due to a loose bolt that was located inside the tb cover and only THEN do I post the info here…yes, that’s clearly a product of my short temper and not at all a product of the ASS service that I received. > > There’s loyalty, then there’s stupidity. I’m loyal, not stupid. So when I see something I’m paying for going downhill fast, heck yeah I’m switching brands. Maybe if you took the time and learned how to work on your own pile of shit you wouldn’t run into problems like this!! Quit your fuckin whining, if i was ASS i’d tell you to fuck off just like you told them. ---

Hopefully, you know how to do everything from mowing the lawn, to computers, to working on the house and never need to hire anyone for any reason at all. Just because a person doesn’t know how to work on a particular part of their vehicle and thus hired someone that is a PROFESSIONAL to do so, doesn’t mean it’s their fault when something breaks as a result of the said PROFESSIONAL not fixing it correctly.
