Yes, there are bonehead mechanics, but not all of them are boneheads like one person on this forum like to make it sound like..

There are more professional inspection mechanics than the boneheads.

So what did you think of the brake hose pictured above? I could write a book on the non-professional work I have encountered.

YOU keep going back to the same place and that IS your problem.

Had that conversation with you many times before.

Don't like the work, go somewhere else.

It IS that easy.

I live in a very rural place but yet there is literally hundreds of State Inspection states with in a 20 minute radius of my home.

Took me a few yrs to find a good shop after the first shop I used closed.

The place I go to is a tire shop (they handle pretty much any tires from wheel barrows to tractor trailers), they have been in business since the 1930s, has been handed down through that family several generations now.. Ironically that family is related to one of my High school classmates and one of the long time mechanics is a High School classmate of my DW. They will change ball joints, brakes and other suspension parts but they don't do motor or transmission work and they are 15 minutes from my home.

I also have one place that is less than 3 miles from my home, I don't use them very often because they are pretty slow at getting work done.. Always have to leave vehicle there and they have short work hrs but they do inspections and general mechanic work..

I am very sure that where every you live, you have many choices in Inspection stations, you can't be much more rural than I am and if you are in or near a big city you have hundreds of choices in a few city blocks.

Do like I do, give them one chance and if they disappoint move on.. Once you find a place with mechanics you find acceptable then stay with that one..
