1. New in town,dropped car off for a MD inspection,they did it, and noted one of two license plate lights out, and a taillight busted. When I followed that vehicle in the cross country move and dropped it off, all lights were working. They had no comment. Had the work done at another shop and they said MD law only recquires the inspector to verify that license plates are not concealed, but once its written down, the work has to be done. He said its a shi$%y thing to do. I naively thought they were just thorough.
2.Flatted out a tire. Asked them to repair, or if cant, replace, and check alignment. They supposedly did an unrequested full vehicle inspection ($45 found nothing), and refused to replace tire unless I agreed to replace both front, said its a liability issue to them, I (stupidly) agreed and told them to replace the old spare tire with the other newly removed tire. They over-charged on the tires, added extra labor charges and BULLYed my wife when she balked at a different price
