Repair/Service: Inspection

Hourly Rate: $50

Total Cost: $15

Do not go here! They are not knowledgeable and do not follow the law! I brought my Jetta there to be inspected, and ten minutes after pulling my car in, the mechanic said he would have to find out if it could pass inspection with a glasspack muffler. Glasspacks are not illegal in Vermont, but after rifling through some papers for a few minutes, I was told that they could not pass my inspection due to having a glasspack installed. I asked them how they could do that when when glasspacks are not illegal? He said that they are illegal, which is not true. He charged me for a failed inspection. I have called several other mechanics in the area and they all tell me the same thing: You cannot be failed for having a glasspack installed in Vermont. However, I have been unable to reason with them, and they just have an "I'm right, and you're wrong, end of conversation" attitude and refused to refund my money.
