N.H. yearly car inspections

I went for my annual car inspection today. The same shop I have used for years. Same company that sold me the tires AND I paid for "flat repair/rotation etc".

I notified them that I had a slow leak in 1 tire and that I bought the plan to fix it.

Inspection FAILED because they thought it was to risky to pull a nail from the tread (not side wall) of the tire! Company policy for AWD vehicles is 4 matching tires for inspection (1 year old tires I bought from them)!

Their resolve: $1,200 for 4 new tires!
My resolve: Plug the tire myself and NEVER do business with them again!
