Q Emissions

We brought our 2020 Camry in for inspection.  We gave him the keys and the insurance card.  We were standing outside waiting when he said “Stop staring, I am not going to do anything to your car.”  This was odd.  My wife and I were talking as we glanced over again. He then says “If you don’t stop watching, then I am going to stop and you can take it somewhere else.”  Not even a minute later he says “you can take it somewhere else”.  I said “we are just trying to get the inspection done”.  He said “my internet is down, I can’t do it”. This guy is a nut.  I would advise you to avoid him.

This guy is fraud. He first failed my inspection saying I need brake pads. He told me He has a guy who can replace my brake pad for $80.00 provided I get the parts. I went to my auto shop. They told me my brake pads are almost brand new. I went back to Masood and told him I got it fixed. Without checking he passed the inspection. Beware of this guy. He works with other older guy. Both are running this scam.

Very rude and I will never stop again with any of my three cars again. This guy should not ever work in the public. I stop today September 19, 2014. Before I could ask a t this guy was rude. 

I have taken my vehicles to Q Emissions for inspections for quite a number of years. But no more, not after this last inspection. Now I would expect a vehicle to fail inspection if there was something truly wrong with anything that is required to function properly in order to pass inspection. The inspector, Richard Andrade (possibly the owner, I think he has always been there whenever I have stopped by for inspections three times every year, as I have three vehicles), failed one of my vehicles recently because he claimed the parking brake wasn't working properly. It's a pedal you push to set with your foot, and also push to release. He said he had pushed it in several times and could not get it to set, that the pedal would pop right back up to its non-set position. After I questioned him on it, he got in and showed me how he could not get it to set. I then got in and set and released it several times, showing Richard that it did indeed work, which by the way did keep the vehicle from moving forward when put into drive. I then realized what Richard was doing wrong. He was smashing the pedal to the floor as hard as he could, trying to set it, not realizing that by doing what he was doing, he was actually pushing the pedal past the set positions (which can be felt by pedal pressure resistance) and hitting the release. That's why the parking brake didn't set for him; the pedal is not supposed to be smashed to the floor to set it. Some further forward movement of the pedal needs to remain to allow it to be pushed again to release the parking brake. Now here's where the problem I have with Richard really started. When I told him what he was doing wrong, he didn't want to hear any of it. He said he was the inspector and knew what he was doing. I told him he obviously didn't know what he was doing on my particular vehicle, and he didn't like me saying that at all. In the end though, he finally agreed to pass my vehicle, I think because deep down he knew I was right and he w
