Hi Folks in the NoVa area,
Just got a 2022 P* and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for where to get your annual safety inspection. I’ve heard some horror stories on other EV forums about shops messing up the chassis when lifting the car, so I’m hoping to get the inspection done somewhere good. Thanks in advance for the help!

And yet many vehicles have bent rockers or damaged subframe components because the minimum wage "mechanic" did not know where to position the jack, did not use the correct adapters, etc. These are the same guys who forget to reinstall the oil drain pan plug on ICE cars.

It seems like the margin of error for lifting an EV is fairly low -- especially considering the delay and cost behind repairing these cars. Luckily, I sucked it up and went to a local gas station that drove the car on the ramp. In and out, super quick!
