I did this when Pride Hyundai failed my car for brakes... I checked the brakes beforehand and knew they were a little worn but within specification. The DMV confirmed they were OK... went back to Pride with the DMV paperwork and asked for the service manager, but they sent out the tech who failed the inspection. He apologized and said they tell them to fail brakes if they're close. It's pisses me off because most people will just say "I need my car" and pay the $1200. It's usually an easy job any shady-tree mechanic can do for less than $500.
