Hey guys, im looking for a shop that does PA inspections for a reasonable price but also will respect my car and not lift it incorrectly bending the parts under my car that say "do not lift here". Where does everyone from west chester go for inspections? Im tired of literally having to sit there and tell people how to lift my car (otherwise it almost always ends up in disaster) or having someone have no idea what they are doing (one place simply could not balance my tires because they didnt know how to use the machine and wasted my time). It seems 90 percent of the these local west chester shops have techs fresh out of UTI with no idea what they are doing.

I use Ed Ashford at Ashford Automotive. You wouldn't even know he's there - his shop is right behind AVIS on the corner of Rt. 3 and Ellis/Falcon Ln. (Right across the street from Wiggins)

He is a good guy - loves to talk and loves to take his time, but won't bullshit you. I don't remember what the cost of inspection is, but he is inspecting my car on Monday so I'll let you know.

i've never had him screw up any panels or anything, but i did see one lady have her car backed into by his dad and he called their insurance company on the spot and had it paid for right there. he won't screw anyone..


Yeah JP that is me haha. It doesnt sound like that anymore, i welded the y-pipe back together. The y-pipe broke off right after the header after i jumped the car on a bridge i didnt see. where are you from? If you see the green SS and its chirping 2nd gear and hammering the clutch, yep its me
