1 /5 Ali Aziz: The car is a 2011 Maserati, which has a very common quirk that the check engine light stays on for even around 2-3 minutes while the catalytic converters warm up from the secondary air injection system. When I bought the car, I had many places fail the car since they didnt wait long enough for the light to disappear. I finally went to this location, and they have inspected the car for the past 3 years.
I went today for another inspection since my registration will expire soon. The service technician called and informed me that the check engine light was on, so I informed him about this weird quirk. He just ignored all of the comments and told me to pick up the car. I got my keys and turned on the car in their parking lot, and after 2 minutes, voila, the engine light is off. I even included 2 photos, one taken in their parking lot and the other taken at my house for proof. I did fix the tire pressure once I arrived.
My issue with the entire ordeal is being ignored. I dont expect the technician to know every single quirk of every make and model. However, when I inform them of the problem and they dont even give me the time of day or take the chance to verify if I am correct, it is unacceptable. I dont have a lot of free time either, so now getting the car inspected will remain a thorn in my side. I am never bringing any of my cars here again.
