Reply to comment by KiloLee in VA State Inspection - How do second opinions work? by [deleted]

Do you guys hate doing state inspections? I mean does it feel like it takes time away from other projects you're working on and it's only like 20 bucks or whatever it cost nowadays?

I could definitely understand if the flat rate/commission guys didn't like it, but I'm paid hourly, so it doesn't bother me at all. I have plenty of days where I'm just knocking out inspections back to back to back, and I'm getting paid the same as if I was busting knuckles doing other actual work

Thanks. One more: if you see a problem, maybe a minor non life safety issue, and you know it's going to be a major pain in the ass to work on it, will that influence weather or not you would fail that vehicle?

I can say with certainty that such things do happen, unfortunately. And not even just with inspections

Gotcha. I see the same in construction inspections and figured it is similar across the board.
