I was told something similar, but the numbers they gave me were 20% and 25% instead of 15% and 20%.

if its in the system the computer does not tell you what it failed for!!, when it failes for an emmisions related item[not safety] all the computer brings up is a repair screen letting the inspector know it failed somewhere else! for what it doesnt say!

Looks fishy when someone fails at one shop and passes somewhere else. I'd just pull the window tint off, you can get it re-done afterwards if you really want it bad enough. Legal window tint is fine with me.

There's a place here that would even get another mechanic to honk the horn of a different car if yours was broke

38.50 for the inspection, and it is 12.50 for the safety inspection= 40.00
