So that places like VIP Tires can scam unknowing people into doing unnecessary work on their cars to “pass inspection”. Avoid VIP Tires at all costs

Happened to me with the Midas shop South Willow. Tiny little hole where muffler joins to the exhaust pipe. $15 inspection fee.

Failed inspection. Wanted $1500 on a car valued around $4000 to replace entire exhaust system from the cat. Didn't want to patch which would have cost maybe $50.

So there are unscrupulous inspection stations out there. State should direct their ire on them, IHMO.
