Asking for a friend...

Looking for first hand experience with inspections... anything in the Spring, Woodlands, New Caney/Porter areas?

And yes, I know could tell friend about removing the fuse trick!.

Friend says TIA

I had an inspection done at valvoline yesterday. They checked blinkers, tail light, and horn. Vehicle inspection is a joke. I can't imagine anyone will care about your dark tint.

Just show up anywhere with your windows rolled down - they don't check

Chevron @ long point/gessner is the best under 5 min inspection - not really in your area though

Wrong! I just went to the sketchiest looking place near 45 in Spring. It's a one-man hole in the wall Inspection shop.

I pulled up with windows down and he asked me to roll up my windows a little bit, and he eye-balled them and said "OK". I thought cool, that was easy. Then he hopped in and tested the brakes.
Then pulled into his bay and put the Tint tester on my window and said he can't pass me.

He said the state is doing a major crackdown on Inspections. :-/

Check it out: "Operation Cinderblock"

Earlier in the week I went to THE sketchiest looking place near me and I pulled up and this old raggedy guy cane out and said "Don't get out, this shop is having issues connecting to the state inspection system. Lots of places cant!"

Translated: "This shop got busted and is suspended".

I've got one more place to try tomorrow on Louetta, fingers crossed.

Maybe they can fix the cars that seem to have their high beams stuck on high. Maybe adjust the drivers with a tire iron across the backs of their useless heads.

SUCCESS!!!

My 3rd option worked out. It was another 1-bay sketchy looking setup, but it was in and out no problem.

One more strike and I would have gone back to Fabian and have him re-tint!!!

Hey, I'm kind of in the same boat right now. The place I went to didn't pass me this time, where did you go?

:-/

Did I just shoot myself in the foot?

Yourself? Nah. The guy who passed you? Maybe.

But aren't these type inspections a thing of the past anyways?
