seewhere · Jan 23 2007, 09:56 AM

anyone know of a place that is not real strict on state inspections?

vinnie · Jan 23 2007, 10:08 AM

lol.......not in travis county or Wilco
My last inspection cost $1100

which are you trying to inspect and whats wrong?

MVP · Jan 23 2007, 10:47 AM

You now have to get the inspection in the county which you live. My wife tried San Antonio and they said because some counties require an emmission test you have to do it in your county that is on your drivers liscense!

seewhere · Jan 23 2007, 10:56 AM

tahoe and the check engine light is on and the emergency brake needs to be tightened up I think

vinnie · Jan 23 2007, 11:07 AM

engine light????? that could be anything, more than likly O2 sensor. Brake is easy I can adjust(more than likely needs back brakes). but I can adjust to pass.
That light....take it to get inspected(pay) and it will fail. but the machine will tell whats wrong. Unless its like mine and they could not retrive the codes....thens its $1100

discette · Jan 23 2007, 11:20 AM

I am not familiar with Texas law, but in California if your check engine light is on it is an automatic fail. See if there is a testing place that says you will pass or the next test is free. This is what I did. I went, it failed, the print out said exactly what was wrong. Had it fixed and went back for the free re-test and passed.

vinnie · Jan 23 2007, 11:37 AM

hey Sue...how is yah?
Texas sounds like same law as Cali.
I hope you join us for TWC......if you don't make it.I'll have to run the usdgwc and you will have to come back [img]/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

J A B · Jan 23 2007, 11:42 AM

Had to go to the dealer for a "check eng" on my wifes CRV...$90.00 for them to tell me the gas cap was not on tight. (Even though I had tightened the cap, they still had to re-set the sensor)

The reason you will never see an all eletric car, all the spark plugs, oil filters, etc Service is where the real money is made on a car.

Good luck Cware

I enjoyed playing the Texas Women's Championship last year, but I probably won't be able to make it back this year.

I think you should put in a bid for the USWDGC.

seewhere · Jan 23 2007, 12:35 PM

thanks all I will see what they say first..

vinnie · Jan 23 2007, 12:49 PM

we are talking about bidding on the USWDGC.....but I can't see running both in the same year......but then women need their props

MVP · Jan 23 2007, 01:25 PM

Take it by autozone and they will hood you up to the sensor and tell you what code comes up, then they will pull up your code and tell you what is wrong for free. Takes about 5 minutes.

Some times they can help. They don't know what codes are. But they can reset codes. That helps. When if gets fixed.

[/QUOTE] Car must have been in bad shape It cost me like $28.50 nothing wrong.

vinnie · Jan 23 2007, 02:09 PM

computer would not respond to code retrive.
new computer, new O2 sensor and output sensor.
And of course only the dealership was able to help....so quick like $1100.
I am not the only one that has gone through this

bigbadude · Jan 23 2007, 02:30 PM

That sucks, those dealers no how to stick a person.

vinnie · Jan 23 2007, 03:49 PM

thats why they call them DEALERS

bigbadude · Jan 23 2007, 04:22 PM

They should be called RAPIST!!

mware · Jan 24 2007, 11:01 AM

Try to disconnect battery for 5 min and see if light resets... Only takes 5 min and doesn't cost much.

seewhere · Jan 24 2007, 11:07 AM

will give that a try than go to the sticker place and see what happnes....

you playing today????

mware · Jan 24 2007, 11:20 AM

I'll be there... I have 6 cans packed up and ready to go, oh wait - that's my Bud Light

I'll go through the cabinets to find some cans and bringing a pack (5) of Brats and Flour Torts...

seewhere · Jan 24 2007, 11:24 AM

I will have a box for us to put the canned goods in..

discette · Jan 24 2007, 11:26 AM

Be sure to wait at least one day after resetting battery before testing. I used the battery reset technique and immediately drove to the test station. About one block from the testing place the light came back on.

seewhere · Jan 24 2007, 12:09 PM

ok thanks for the information. i will let everyone know the outcome in a few days

Lala · Jan 24 2007, 12:18 PM

Just go buy her a new car - she's a good woman & deserves it just for puttin' up with you for all these years

.

seewhere · Jan 24 2007, 12:26 PM

esalazar · Jan 24 2007, 01:50 PM
