Inspection Sticker

[beatniktea.livejournal.com]

Hi all,

I just recently moved to Somerville from Southeastern MA and my inspection month is October. Seeing as we have just about a week left in this month I was hoping to get it done around here.

Any auto body places around Davis, Ball, Powderhouse, Teele where I can get my car inspected without it taking forever/a non-creepy atmosphere?

Weekends open would be further preferable (I work full time 9-5 during the week).

Thanks so much in advance!

THe gas station in Teele did mine. They open at 8 for inspections, if you get there a bit before 8 and are one of the first people you can be out by 8:15.

Avoid the heck out of Jack's Gas. I had a fine experience last year, and a horrendous one this year. I mentioned it to my mechanic who said "That's not an inspection station, it's a rejection station! He just does inspections so he can sell you repairs you don't really need!"

Seconding the "avoid Jack's" message.

I third that. One good experience, two bad years, never went back.

You know, I've had inspections at Jack's for two years now. And yes, the second year I got a rejection, but there wasn't the slightest bit of "let us fix that for you!" I don't think it was something they even do. I took my scarlet R off to my usual Hondar House and got my cracked exhaust pipe replaced. I certainly wouldn't want an inspector to have not spoken up about that.

If I ever had a bad experience I might reconsider - but they're so close, convenient, and fast that I haven't felt any need to try elsewhere.

Hey, I went there and it was fine.
