Very common for all inspection places, not even just dealerships. It's 95% a money-making scheme for the dealership/garage, and 5% for actual safety.

I would go to a local mechanic and not a dealership, at least you'd have a higher chance of them being honest with you about what it actually NEEDS for inspection (and if you say roughly where you're located, you might get some recommendations here).

This. And I’d add to NOT get your vehicle inspected at a non trusted place BEFORE bringing it to a trusted shop. If the scam place marks the vehicle with bogus replacements needed, the trusted shop kind of has its hands forced if the rejection is already posted in the database.
