Took my old mustang there and told them one of the pullies was seized. Hand keys over to the service writer. Then watch the "tech" walk out to the car. Tries to start it, but won't turn over. He proceeds to rev the crap out of the car, engine tries to start but won't. Smoke starts to coming out from the hood and underneath the car. Guy pops the hood reachs in and just yanks out the belt (melted it down!). Anyway they push the car into the garage and call me an hour later to tell me the smog pump seized. I go to the service writer and he askes me if I want it replaced. I tell him no and about what happend outside. He then hands me my keys and a bill for the inspection! I snatched the keys and told him I'm not paying for the inspection. He tells me I have to talk to the service manager and since I'm not having anymore work done they are pushing the car back outsdie. I go talk to the service manager, tell the whole story over again and he just tells me there is nothing he can do about the bill. FRIGGIN MORANS!!! I ended up just walking out with out paying the bill. Called a tow truck and had my car picked up that day. Never heard from CT again about their "inspection fee".
