vehicle safety check

[leilaniguy]

I've had my various cars checked at Paul's Repair, Lex Brodies, "Bob's" in Orchidland, the garage behind Pahoa Auto Parts, and a couple of Hilo gas stations over the past 7 years, was always charged $15. It never takes more than 10 minutes or so. All they check is the lights, wipers, signals, horn, ins. and windshield for cracks. They never move the car or look under it, would have no idea about brakes etc. It doesn't matter about loose hinges, broken windows, rust, etc. Safety check here is kind of a joke. I have seen cars lose doors, fenders, bumpers, etc. I nearly got killed once by a hatchback door falling off a VW squareback at 60 MPH several years ago at Makuu.
