Ralph, Do you think the gas station is doing this to deceive people?
Also, do you use this place for repairs on your own vehicles?

I took one of my cars there for annual state inspection They gave me a rejection sticker saying the car needed front end work, new front tires & an alignment. And he said the car should not be driven that it was dangerous So, I went to the independent German car repair shop where I have work done, he adjusted the front wheel bearings & rotated the tires. I went back to the gas station to get reinspected, and they passed it.Looking at this guy's reviews online he does this all the time. He should be on the list to be deported

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, both independent shops and Car dealerships do this often and you have to be skeptical of the Internet reviews.
Word of mouth from someone you know is a good indicator of the shops integrity. Glad you got it straightened out at another shop, most likely with less out-of-pocket expense.
More so than ever, you have to do your due diligence.
