I have my regular mechanic handle the inspections (currently the dealer while the free annual service lasts), no need to worry about fails or rip offs.

Unless your mechanic is like family, I wouldn't get my car inspected by my regular mechanic.

If a gas station fails you for something, they aren't going to be making any money on the repair unlike your mechanic.

If my mechanic recommends a repair I get the work done, adding inspections to the mix does not change this.

I hope you don't go to NTB. They'll want to rebuild your whole car if you let them.
