Went for an emissions test and plate renewal on my backup truck. I left the keys in my truck for the guys. Was told to go get them..(not sure why) but I did. Guy did the emissions, took my card, gave me the stickers, etc, and said “against my better judgement I have to give you your sticker” I was kinda chuckling (yes it’s a 2001 with some rust) and he says again “you laugh, but you better have some stuff fixed before you kill someone”…I was blown away. I couldn’t even think of anything to say to that..The truck wasn’t put on a hoist, it wasn’t inspected, he didn’t crawl under it, or open the hood, and most importantly he didn’t drive it further than 20 feet. How can that be said? The check engine light? It’s oxygen sensor codes. The abs light? Speed sensor wire. Everything safety wise has been done. Front end work, brake lines, fuel lines, all ball joints, & wheel bearings, new tires, transmission & transfer case, all replaced. Everything with GM AC Delco parts even. I asked for the required state test. It’s emission exempt, but in order to plate it, they require I run through the system and retrieve my waiver. (3/4 ton truck) What can be found driving a vehicle 20 feet? Without looking at anything? Wouldn’t recommend. Hate to write this, but I’m going to anyway, customer beware. Lacks proper inspection skills. Service: Auto emissions testing ~Mark
