Hi guys. A good friend of mine just bought a 2005 Ram 2500 Cummins and needs to get it inspected. Does anyone know of any good inspection shops that won't take advantage of him? Thanks guys

A great place is Extra Tech Automotive. Most of my family and friends, as well as myself, use these guys all the time. The guy at the front, name is Don. Great guy, knows his Diesels and is in with NADP. The also do gas.
PM me if you have any other questions.

Sorry - couldn't resist the temptation. I'm better now. It is the Mexico tequila's fault. May all pigmies dance with wolves.
