Unfortunately, the only thing unusual about this in my experience is that it's usually the dealership pulling this crap, and the independent station being more honest. Though that's obviously not a rule, just a tendancy. Or maybe just Toyota and Honda dealers are more often crooked.

When I bought my Toyota, the dealer was awesome for a few years. Then management changed hands. Instantly, inspections became a laundry list of shit I'd never heard of in 10 years of driving the car. Yeah, I don't think so. Never went back.
