An illegal inspection was done on one of my vehicles -using another car at this location, putting in information on my vehicle & passing said vehicle as being legal to drive & properly inspected-I have heard from several different people that this location does these types of inspections quite frequently. The owner pays his employees under the table to keep them out of trouble with child support-he lies about earned wages-and rumor has it that the entire shop is either high on crack, cocaine or marijuana-they are heavy drinkers that frequent the bar right next door-gary's spot-the owner (nabil) has all of his friends come in for these inspections-sometimes they charge them -sometimes not. I really think this location needs to be investigated & drug tested. I pay good hard earned money for my things-and I don't like the idea that these foreigners can come over here & do as they please.

Dt: the consumer states that his 1991 buick lasabre, the frame has rusted out and the vehicle will not pass state inspection. The consumer is very upset with gm that they only last 14 years before rusting. The consumer has not contacted gm nor the dealership. The information provided is all that the consumer knows. The consumer was told about this problem during his yearly inspection. Last year the vehicle passed inspection, and this year the vehicle did not pass. And this forced the consumer to buy another vehicle.*ak
