Reply to comment by JollyHistorian in VA State Inspection - How do second opinions work? by [deleted]

I was curious about this. A buddy who knows more than I do told me he didn't think most of this stuff should have been even checked.

Sounds like recommended stuff. Simply say " no thanks just the inspection" and be on your way.

I had this happen previously - need to directly ask what service is required to pass inspection as most of these are not. Repair shops lose money on padding inspections (the time it takes is worth more than the inspection fee) so they have a motive to tack on extra items (headlight ‘adjustments’, $75 wiper blades, or just about everything which is what you ended up with).
