If you are so inept that you cannot tell when your car needs work, take it to a repair shop and hand them your blank check! you'll get what you deserve!
otherwise, contact your state senator and urge them to vote to END the annual inspections for NH.
several years ago I bought a used truck, I felt it was in good condition. brought it to a local shop in Merrimack at lunch time for a sticker, I figured it would be a 5 minute process. 45 minutes later the mechanic (owner) came out with a clipboard and brought me into the back office. he proceeded to review a laundry list of "dangerous issues" with the truck. Mind you, I had already done the brakes after I bought it......he listed brakes were thin, needed rotors calipers etc. needed ball joints, exhaust manifolds (he had gone the junk yard route and already located them) all for the low low price of $2900........when can you leave it??
I left in a cloud of dust!
Ive fixed all my cars since I was in HS, this place was a ripoff shop......I brought it to a local guy and he noted what the other shop had listed, said he'd go through it.next day it had a sticker on it. $40. said never go back to that other place.......5 years later, I was still driving that truck with the same not worn out parts.....so if they try and pull that crap on a good home garage mechanic, imagine what they do to a 70 year old woman that has no clue....
"oh ma'am, we have to replace your faulty Sperbulator"
call your Senator!!
