I would have appreciate (2009 mercedes benz) if I was told since the beginning they didnt work with my car model, went for inspection and spent 2 days just for that, they referred me to another shop to fix what they found and the other shop was asking for an inspection too so now I had to pay 2 inspection, I went to a different shop for the inspection and get the work done and they found and pointed things that was supposed to be addressed in the inspection I did with Parkers, which I ended up paying more since they charged more to do an specific inspection that in the report just showed the code of a thermostat staying open but in the other inspection at a different place they addressed the whole problem.
