Can a station charge for shop supplies if a vehicle only received a safety inspection?

A station is not permitted to charge for shop supplies when a vehicle has only received a safety inspection. The regulations governing safety inspections are quite clear on this point. The fee for a safety inspection is established to cover the specific inspections performed, and any additional charges for shop supplies are not allowable under these regulations. This ensures that consumers are not burdened with unexpected costs that do not pertain directly to the inspection services rendered.

While other choices suggest various scenarios where charges could be applied, the integrity of the safety inspection process mandates that only the established fee for the inspection itself can be charged, keeping the process transparent and straightforward for customers.
