Inspection

Submitted by TheSaltySeas t3_10sy3eb in newhampshire

I recently moved to concord from up north. Where's a good and trustworthy place to get my vehicle inspection done in the Concord area.

I’d go to a new car dealer that doesn’t sell your make

American Brake Service on pleasant st. Have saved so much money going there over the years.

If you have something euro, vw, Audi, I recommend German autowerks. After going to another shop and saying my car needed 3000 dollars worth of work for a sticker, went there and they were like lol nope you just need this 50 dollar part and your good.

In all honesty, I usually do 90 percent of my car repairs myself. I will go to Valvoline for inspections cuz they are super quick. If they recommend any repairs, get the print out from them, walk into a mechanic and just be confident and ask to have just what is needed repaired. A lot of shops will see a person as dollar signs but if you learn some lingo of what needs to be repaired so they don't try to fuck you over. No the cabin air filter doesn't need to be replaced, same as the engine air filter, unless it's eaten to shit from mice. Get repaired exactly what needs to be repaired, nothing more.

I'd recommend grappone. I am always very well taken care of at Mazda/Ford, and I would imagine their other spots are similar.

That place is the best. Years ago I had my car inspected by them when they were on Loudon rd and east side. Only thing found was the license plate lite. Gave him 5 bucks for it. In a few minutes he came back and said it was just loose and did not need replacement. I told him to keep the 5 bucks. Completely honest shop.

I went to accomplished auto about a month ago for inspection and they were quick. Offered $10 off.

I like Valvoline for inspections too because as you said, quick. And they won't do much repair work outside replacing your windshield wipers so less motivation to try to get you for extra money.

Are you talking just a yearly inspection sticker? You'll find in NH that places are allowed to charge different amounts. I've gotten stickers for as low as $25 and paid as much as $50. It's a racket. I typically go to Mieneke or Midas. They usually try to tell me I need something and I just decline. I tale my car elsewhere for actual servicing. I just like the cheaper prices for inspection stickers.

If you had an honest shop up north, it's probably worth the road trip.

Which is why I always decline any additional service they try to sell me on. I know what my car needs (most of the time) as I'm pretty good about regular maintenance and have a regular place for all other service. I'd just rather pay a little less for the BS inspection sticker.
