Stop in for a cup of coffee

I have a copy of the checklist/form in my shop somewhere. I use it to remind me what to look for, if someone wants me to look at a used vehicle, they are buying. I'm not a licenced Inspector, nor do I want to be. But.... I have an Ex Customer/Repair shop that is licenced. He's also a friend and a young guy that I helped get into business. So usually I'll look over someones car, and fix the obvious. Then I call Robert and tell him , I'm send him a Md. St. Insp. and that I will be repairing problems. He usually goes easy on em , if he knows I'm involved. Pays to know people. A lot of Shops/Inspectors will pick a vehicle apart , to gain work for their Shops..
i can see that happening. I once got into it with the military base safety officer on my truck. It was putting 1250 ft lbs to the rear wheels. One of the ways the book said to inspect vehicles was to stand on the gas and brake at the same time....... needless to say it'd roast tires instantly, he tried failing me every time... no amount of brakes would hold a rear wheel drive vehicle making that amount of torque
