MD state vehicle inspection location

So, a while back I saw a sign for a really reasonably priced inspection somewhere in Lexington Park area but for the life of me can't remember where I saw the sign. Anyone??

They make their money off of the stuff they make you "fix" to pass their inspection, not necessarily the advertised inspection price. Just go to a reputable shop, not someone advertising a "low price".

I won't need to fix anything

You will when they've finished their inspection!

Well, I wouldn't be paying for it. The dealer would have to take care of that.

If you are trading in a vehicle or flat out selling one to a dealer, why worry about getting one? If you are buying from a dealer it should come with an inspection certificate.

Ugh, the car is from a dealer in another state. None of you are terribly helpful.

 

[DQ2B]

Really just looking for an answer to the question....

If the dealer is paying for it, why care what it costs? Just take it to the nearest inspection station and get it done.

Park Sunoco. But I think they closed down. He was an honest guy.

I use J&M service Center in Lexington Park (up the hill a bit from the Ford dealer).

Not closed; they relocated to Mechanicsville behind the Used Car Factory and are now named Three Notch Automotive. Phone number is 240-249-6075. Address is 27725 Three Notch Road, Mechanicsville, Maryland 20619. Great people and highly recommended.

I had a car inspected at Cheseldines in October and I believe it was $50 $75

I was going to mention them too. Always fair, in my experience. I only started using J & M because they are closer for me.

Agree, first time I've had a car inspected where they didn't come back with needed repairs. Couple years ago on another car, place in Calvert wanted $160 to replace a serpentine belt that had a tiny nick in it...Said no, drove to the auto parts store, bought a new belt and put it on in the parking lot and was back at inspection station in 30 minutes..It was the last time I used that place for anything.
