the front and rear wiper blades.

No kidding. Even the service lady had to double check with the tech to verify the failed wipers. I laughed at the service lady when she told me my Z failed the initial safety inspection and had to get my passenger side and rear wiper blade rubbers replaced to get a pass and issue the government safety inspection form.

However, I know my wiper blades are still good and I rarely turn them on constantly because I apply RainX every year on the windshield. I personally think it's a cash grab, but since it's only $25, I didn't want to waste my time to argue.

I am buying my Z off lease and had to get safety inspection done for ownership transfer. In case you are wondering, I had it done at Village Nissan, since that's where I got my Z.

I can't imagine how many unsafe vehicles are currently on the road with bad wiper blades. Anyways, I just wanted to share my experience.

 

You went to one hardcore inspection station lol. That sucks..

 

Congratulations on being the owner now!!

 

for a safety, go to mechanic in a poor neighbourhood

 

Sorry Sir, they raped you.......................

 

lol did you have to do it at a nissan dealership? if no things like that i would never do at a dealership unless i knew people on the inside (just in case anyway), sucks for this experience.

in future i really sugest newmarket nissan, great guys that work there - from my experience at least...

 

Congrats for owning the Z

 

...

 

LoL@Village*idiots* Nissan..
Congrats ocean

-I would assume that because it was a lease, that he may have had to get the inspection completed at a dealership.

 

it was a joke. but seriously, doing a safety at a ghetto mechanic is often a good way to ensure passing. You should've seen some of the cars I saw getting safetied at this mech...

 

i got a safety yesterday in 5min raised it on a lift to make sure the wheels didnt fall off thats it lol

 

I've failed safety inspections for bad wiper blades. That is one of the areas that gets checked. It isn't a big deal and I now make sure I have good wipers before I go for a safety inspection.

 

lol, i remember alta nissan certifying my z with no drl, 2 cracked wiper blades when i pick up my car. and the bill of sale saids 59,000km when i put deposit and it went all the way up to 61500km when i pick it up... funny thing is the safety still saids 59k

 

I bought my car from a small used dealership. Before buying it I had an inspection done at Alta Nissan in Woodbridge. I think I paid around $80-$100 for the inspection, they said every thing looked good and didn’t need anything to cert. The small dealer I bought from had a $300 certification fee on top of the $150 admin fee. I just bought the car as-is and saved the $300, I used that $300 to go back to Alta. I had all my fluids changed, diff, trany, oil, and cert done for between $200-$300. They discounted the fluids and gave me the cert paper for free. I had a good experience with them.

Also Donner Nissan in Newmarket has been good, installed my locking wheel nuts for free after I bought them and scanned my car and removed the air bag light for free.

 

sorry you got suckered at the dealership.............

-J

 

I recall a fake safety cost $100. what the hell are you guys paying for?

 

are the guys at village nissan retarded? im takin my z there today, newmarket nissan is kinda filled with idiots in my opinion. not gonna go into details

 

Lol yeah thats happened to me before......its just a cash grab, when they cant find anything wrong with your car.

They wont sign off until you replace the wipers.

 

I know that Village Nissan has now moved to a new location at Kenndy / 407.

I still remember when I did my safety inspection at Village Nissan, the sales guy kept saying I must get the inspection done at their dealership because I am buying if off the lease.

I think that's BS because it's the same safey inspection form that you get from other shops. The government doesn't care where you get it inpected as long as there's a certified mechanic that signs the safety insepction form.

But you can give Village Nissan a try and report back your experience.

Good luck.

 

it doesnt matter where you get the safety done....A friend of mine does safety for like $50
