guys:
can anyone tell me how to post a scanned document to let people see it? the reason I ask is because I took 2 of my trucks through inspection here in Jersey and they failed me for pretty much everything except the color of the paint! I scanned the reports to share with all here but I dont know how to post em. They are so ridiculous; they make it seem like I drive custom junk and that they are a hazard to the roads! Heck, Ive seen vehicles that make mine look like a rolls royce! I have the documents here ready to post if someone tells me how OR I can forward to email addy's if interested! Let me know! Thanks

regards
Ben

 

Bring them up on screen to view.
The program that opens & shows them has a tool for re-sizing.

Make them about 350 x 560 in a Jpg format.
Save.

Now, Go to your user gallery and up-load them like a photo.

If you don't have a user gallery and don't want to create one,send them to me at and I'll post them for you.

That inspection station might be one of those shops that literally go by the book.

Find a run-down inspection station with oil puddles and used tires all over and slip the two front missing teeth fat guy with a greasy beard, speaks with a lisp $40 and you'll pass.

 

Those inspection places are full of crockery. Here In Saskatchewan they have this also for write offs and vehicles brought in from out of province. Yet the new cars on the dealer lots are full of problems that my veheicle don't have, yet it is ok for them.
Half of the stuff on the inspections has nothing to do with safty of the vehicle and they argue that these inspections are for our safety. Yeah. Missing 1 mud flap and they won't pass it, no license plate on front won't pass either, burnt out interior light ect. ect. ect.
I also found that sevral of these inspection places are trying to stick it to you to buy products from them. I taken vehicles into one place and they would not pass it due to something they say needs replacement and the part they claim I know is fine with some wear, but not needing replacement. So I gone to another place and they find minor things and simple things to fix. The other shops inspection roblems don't show up. What I found is these shops are scamming a lot of us people and there are no governing body's watching they are being honest here.
So having your truck inspected is a gamble.
Our government and dealerships and body shops are in cahouts. They drafted the inspections here and now they are considering that the car has to be one color before being inspected. These inspections are about vanity here and to help the dealers sell cars. Our province in Canada had the record for the most oldest running vehicles on the road. Since then our local government has been doing what it can to get old cars off the road. They now do roadside inspections and write you up to get it fixed buy a certain time or lose the license of your vehicle. I know one person who had only one hole in his truck the size of a quarter and he had to get his truck inspected.
I know sounds gloomy. The truth is you need to shop around at other inspection places. Talk to local garage guys or some of your local car clubs. They will be able to tell you who is reasonable and fair.
