Mobil

Every negative review is TRUE! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. The pic of wacky gas prices is funny by another reviewer. they are high but not that. I stopped in for an inspection, like others. While the guy was getting started, another customer came in. Had a rejection sticker and paperwork. warning sign #1. On my car, inspection guy comes over and tells me my license plate holders are illegal. they cover Massachusetts and the «spirit of Massachusetts» at the bottom. I will fail. Ok technically accurate. so I say «well it’s passed every other year with those and everyone else passed it» so he says «I’M NOT EVERYONE ELSE» and then says «we’re proud to be in Massachusetts, we don’t need to cover it up» what a complete and utter ****. I was born here, raised here. grew up right near where his business is. So he takes my plates holders off. I watch him like a hawk. does he chock the wheels when testing the reverse lights as he does not have someone sit in it with the foot on the brake? no. what if the brake did not hold? car would roll out of his bay. my car passes luckily. no reason to fail it. but please, for your own sake STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.

I have been having my cars inspected at this Mobil station for 11 years and have never had an issue. $ 10 to replace a light bulb is not uncommon in the industry. My low beam bulbs cost $ 6 at Autozone, $ 15 at any dealer or repair shop, they are in business to make money remember. I recommend that you check your car over before your inspection if you want to replace your own bulbs.

If there was an option of no stars I would give it. This seems to be a common issue for inspections. A car that has passed for the 4 years was failed for cosmetic issues as safety issues. Seems to be a bit of a racket. Beware.

YA, I’ve added this place to my «black list». I brought my newer Toyota there for an inspection. It came out with a rejection sticker. I said to myself «no way, this car is in tip top shape». Of course I asked why. The technician pointed to a ½ inch tear on the outer edge of the passenger side windshield wiper. Yup, your heard it here first. I was soooo mad. He stated he could sell me a blade for $ 16.99 and put a sticker on for me (re-​inspect). I may have done that if he had come and told me before putting the sticker on, but this was after he stuck the big red «R» on my window. I did not go anywhere, just pacing around outside in front of the bay. No thanks I said, went to the parts store, purchased the same blade for 9 bucks, went back and got my passing inspection sticker. They have to follow standards I know, but come on… passenger side…2′ tear. safety issue? Me thinks not.

During lunch breaks, I got both my cars inspected here and on each, they found one small light bulb out. Charged $ 10 for one and $ 15 for the other (which I removed myself in 2 seconds while the mechanic stood there.) the bulbs go for $ 3 a pair at any parts store. I argued my point and they simply said if I don’t buy the light, they have to fail me. Can’t believe I let them hose me just so I wouldn’t have to go back. Terrible business practice and shame on me for going back that second time.

They are not closed. Whomever owns this place is a shady person. And not a very good business person.
Let’s see, where do I start? OK the company that I used to work for sold him an engine. He blew it up. Then we sell him another engine, and sent in the first one to be checked as to why it blew up. His check bounced on the second engine. Then not to get too mechanically technical, it was determined that it was his shops fault that the first engine became toast.
The second time I had the misfortune of dealing with them, I has run out of gas on my motorcycle. I asked if I could borrow a gas can and I would leave a $ 20.00 deposit. They said no. I saw the gas can, it was an older filthy plastic one. If they kept my twenty, they would have made out on the deal. Instead the neanderthal man had me buy a gallon of windshield cleaner, dump it out, then use that jug to put gas in.
Pardon the expression but, I wouldn’t urinate on them if they were on fire.
