I know I'll probably get flamed for asking, but im running out of options..
I needed an inspection by the end of May. Anyone know of inspection stations around baltimore co that are not very strict? I got rust that needs to be passed.. other than that I think it will be fine.

 

They will fail you on some rust? Is it really bad, like parts are gonna fall off if it rusts more.

I dont think it has to be bad, just any perforated rust that can be seen fails. I know theres a few states that fail for that. thank god Va isnt one of them lol.


Cant you just cover the rust with some Bondo for the time being? or do they look for that?

 

Never had any of my rust buckets fail... well not because of the rust anyway.
I believe they can only fail safety related stuff... all the PepBoys i've ever been to have their "Maryland Safety Inspection" form in plain view... i know the one in/near catonsville does for sure. So unless the seatbelt brackets are rusted or the frame is gone, or the suspension is rusting apart, i don't see it as a problem.
