Most people either show up hoping for the best, or pay a shop just to do a pre-check that takes fifteen minutes with a checklist. Most inspection failures come down to small, fixable things, and catching them yourself saves a second appointment, a second fee, and a second wait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis isn't a generic checklist.
