My friend Vershawn recommended I go here for a motorcycle inspection. I made the phone call. A man gruffly answered the phone. I asked if he knew Vershawn; he said he didn’t. I asked the man if he had any appointments at noon the next day. He hung up. Fortunately, Harley had appointments the next day.

This place is a scam. Brought my car in for an inspection, they failed it, and told me to bring it back and pay $ for another inspection. I took my car to another shop, it passed with no issue. Plus the car just passed another state's inspection not long ago. They take advantage, not honest or trust worthy, and try to get more money.

I called the station and asked if I could get a Maryland State Inspection and Synthetic Oil Change. I was informed sure, bring it in. Upon arriving I filled out the form and began to wait. The inspector/Zain Ghauri felt is was more important for him to wax his Lexus, polishing the sides and hood while I waited 35 minutes for him to finish, then walk into the bays for an additional 10 minutes fiddling around. I was about to leave when he said he was ready to pull my vehicle in. 2022 Hyundai Kona. I had arrived at 810am and departed at 1015..... Mr. Ghauri could not find anything to fail my vehicle for except my front right tire which should not have failed the inspection. A different gentleman brought me my bill $197.38 which I felt was most definitely overcharged, and was informed that they could have a tire and install it by 3pm for approximately $130.?? I went to a different Maryland Inspection Station to get their opinion on the tire that failed and was informed that it was cosmetic, no treads or bubbles were shown or exposed and the tire should NOT have failed. I then went to a used tire shop and they also said the tire was in good shape and that it again was only cosmetic and should NOT have failed. Afterwards, I returned to have the tire reinspected which is a quick visual check since the cosmetic issue was on the outside wall of the tire, but of course... Mr. Ghauri had me waiting again as he said he had to put my vehicle on the lift.... which was not necessary at all. After waiting exactly 47 minutes, Mr. Ghauri came out of the bay, asked me if the replaced tire was new or used, I informed him that it was used, he asked me what the milage on my vehicle was, glanced down at the tire, walked back into the bay then came out with the passing Inspection report. I will NEVER recommend this place to anyone and will NEVER return. Mr. Ghauri is arrogant and could care less about customers or their time. It's all about him and his self righteousness having the customer wait on him until he feels good and ready to do his job, I'm assuming he was upset because I didn't buy a unnecessary tire from him when he failed my Inspection. I'll definitely be informing a Baltimore State Police Officer/State Vehicle Inspector of what happened here so they can investigate mine and previous inspections as I am full aware that they can and will revoke licenses. If Mr. Ghauri had just begun my Inspection instead of me having to call him out about having me wait while he polished his Lexus, pass my Inspection as he should have instead of being petty, all this could have been avoided and this company would have received an awesome review.
