I lugged my newborn baby and 2 year old up to the desk and read the sign saying they will not take debit or credit cards for an inspection. THEY DID TAKE CREDIT/DEBIT CARDS FOR OTHER SERVICES SO IT WAS NOT THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE MACHINE. I did not realize this when I drove up, otherwise I would not have gone in because I did not have any cash. I waited patiently for my turn and simply asked if they would make an exception. I was met with a curt ""no."" I understand that they probably make no money on these inspections if people pay with a credit/debit card, but I was hoping they would take pity and make an exception for a young mother with 2 very little children. They should put something on their road sign about not taking debit/credit cards for inspections so as to save people like me time getting 2 young children out of their car seats and then right back in again only to have to go elsewhere to get the inspection because they will lose a few cents in credit card fees. I will never go there again and will discourage others as well. My advice is to go to Jimmy Browns on 155s. They always have excellent customer service and are quick (about 10 mins) as well.
