btw Chantilly's sales folks are really really bad. they assume all their buyers were under a rock.

I got mine at Brown's and they gave me a free inspection at Chantilly...*shrug*, I get all my service there, so maybe they think I bought it there? Either way, can't hurt trying; I think VA rates are pretty standard at the dealerships so no use shopping around (unless you want to try out some clipper coupon at a gas station...I wouldn't recommend it)

Or the very last option, you could do all the work yourself, and save lots of money.

So took my z to chantilly mid afternoon Saturday for emission and safety inspections. Very helpful folks. Nice experience all around. Had to pay for both though.

How much did you for the inspection?

Somberlaine · 05-30-2011, 08:23 AM

Safety 16 emission 28. Pretty much what I would have paid at any gas station.

Inspection costs are fixed by the state. Same everywhere.

Not in MD they're not. When I was trying to get mine done, every place gave me a different price. The cheapest ones are probably all the same, but some places like to bump up the cost. I think I got mine done for like $60. That's for the MD state inspection. The emissions inspection, however, was only $14 and is fixed.
