Hey I need toi get my 1994 acura integra gsr inspected and this will be the first time I have to get a car inspected. So I have no clue where to take it? I mean there's a good deal done to the car and I'd rather have the person inspecting it to understand what the things are cause my check engine's light goes on and off and after messing around with it for the past 2 weeks I can't figure out what's wrong. So my question is, where can I take my car that is near richboro and newtown? Thanks!

Lol. Alright I took it there and after two days of having it he gave it back saying he didn't know how to work on it....Anyone else have any suggestions? He said that just because I have a custom exhaust pipe that i would fail inspection. He also tried giving me this bull **** about cutting into my front body kit with two side lights when i have all the lights standard, the way the factory built the car. He said all cars have to have them, which is bs because I don't even have wiring for from anyway. Well over all it was a funny experince and thanks for the idea Fasterthanu.

That's pretty sad that you took your car to a garage and they gave it back after two days saying they didn't know how to work on it. It's a garage. They're supposed to "know how to work on cars". If your that incompetent, you have no business working on cars let alone working on others for a living. Too bad a member told you to take it there. Good advice! Anyway, it's VERY easy to read the codes for OBD-1 Hondas. On the passenger side of car.. by the glove box under the dash... green plug with 2 small plugs in it... the skinnier one with 2 wire.... take a small paper clip or wire and touch the 2 sides of the clip together.. put the key to the on position and count the blinks... long blinks represent 10 digits, short one digit. Example: Long, long, short short short would be code 23. Go to hondata.com and see what the codes say. Take care of that GSR.

Look up A+H Automotive in Ivyland.

It's right near Jacksonville road and all.

If your car is perfectly legal, you should have no problem going anywhere.

Tommy's Auto Repair on Bustleton at Lower Holland Road or Richboro Gulf. They do all of my inspections, no problems ever.

not true. if they run the diagnostics on the cel and check everything and there isn't anything wrong, they wont fail you. i was throwing an evap code on my old car and the honda dealers passed it. they just had to unplug the battery right before emission testing it
