This is why many states that had inspections in the 70's/early 80's did away with them. I don't particularly think that this shop "was trying to screw you". Running a shop is expensive. They don't typically make money per say on the actual maintenance, the part of the shop making money is in the sales of parts.Perfectly reasonable argument.
Still feels like a terribly convenient way to use ultra strict enforcement of state standards by a private company to personally benefit the same company. If the inspectors didn't benefit from this, it wouldn't bother me. But they are allowed to benefit their employer to steer rejection work to them. This system feels like it is ripe for abuse. Most people, would pay the ridiculous fee. I won't, unless I was under total duress.
