Volvo Inspection Day: Take Two

The inspection on my 30-year-old car expired on January 30th. I took it to a place on McGuinness a few months ago and they failed it. The guy at Two Guys said (and I quote), “No one in their right mind will pass this car.” And then he told us it would cost us 1500 dollars to have it pass inspection. He tried to convince us to leave it there so he could “fix” it. We left. Later, we realized that he didn’t FAIL the car either. He didn’t even charge us for the hour and a half of “inspecting” he put in to it. When we began to think about the situation a little more we began to wonder if he was indeed trying to scam us. There’s not a doubt in my mind that he was.

We took it to another place this weekend and it passed. It runs perfectly fine. And that guy at Two Guys on McGuinness Boulevard can suck it.
