My friends have been sugesting to take it to a guy and give him "extra 10 to $20 to make it pass".I can not do that, I feel that's a bribe but my friends are calling it something else (tip and whatever)...I feel that's wrong ethically. I am definitely not bribing anybody, but any of you have good suggestion on what to do? I was thinking of taking it somewhere else and pay for what's critical...Pray for me.. Reply to this Question

Take it to a mechanic you trust. I doubt it'd cost that much, the guy who inspected it probably wasn't a mechanic too.
Also, try registering it somewhere that doesn't do inspections. I live in Seattle, which does inspections, but have my car registered at my parents in a nearby town that doesn't do inspections.

Let me guess...you need to get it to pass smog? It's really not the big of a deal, a lot of people take their cars to pass smog where they know that place passes just about everyone. Honestly, this isn't that "ethical" in my opinion, it's pretty normal. Smog inspections are a rip off by the state in the first place in my opinion. If you have the money to do what's "ethical" then do that, if you don't, then don't. This economy isn't that great right now, gotta do what you gotta do.
