Reply to comment by Mrdwight101 in New car failed inspection. Was pressured to pay about $1k in repairs to pass. I took my car to the dealership instead and it passed inspection by mandyaffogato

Quality Assurance officer. They oversee all the inspection stations in the state. They handle issues like this one and hand out punishments to the shop or tell the customer the shop is right. They alao randomly drop by your shop to make sure all your stickers are accounted for and to check your inspection log to make sure everything looks good. They can also randomly pick cars from your book to call in and check out to make sure your doing good inspections.

Google your county and qao officer and you should be able to find a list. Just give them a call and tell them whats up.

I posted info in one of my edits FYI. If you live in an emissions county, there’s a 1800 # you can call.
