SRS

Inspection failed in 5 minutes

Saturday, May 25th 2013 By Josh

Yesterday we were sent out to inspect a 2006 Jetta TDI in Milwaukie at a dealer we've never been to before. This inspection was for an out of state buyer who wasn't interested in the car if it had been in an accident. We started with the paint and sure enough there was plenty of accident repair and bodywork on the car. However most concerning would be the SRS light remaining on. With any vehicle it must come on and then go out 5-7 seconds later with the key switched to the on position. In cases like this we immediately stop the inspection and process a 50% refund to our platinum inspection clients.
