Does not sound like you watch the inspections in Texas. They can go from just looking at the auto to actually driving it a couple of blocks (very rare). In any case, it does not actually mean an inspection. The most I have ever had is checking the lights and tires (no driving).
It’s all for the money... Actually, for the price they charge, I’m surprised that they do that much...a waste of time for the most part.
Mister, I watch them like a hawk when they’re doing my inspections.
They’re inspecting my Jaguars and my offroader - there is no way I’m going to trust them with those vehicles.
