A Failed Inspection

They try to get all of the inspections done before the end of March. Usually when your cab is being serviced they will have the shop guys detail out your taxi and then we take it down to the Hillsborough County Transportation Commission for them to give it the OK. For the first time in 13 years-I flunked!

The front bumper needed touch up paint, the headliner was falling down in the back, and the rear rubber-seal(in the picture) was not bolted down. Those things tear off when you load and unload luggage. I had mine just sitting there and Mario said that was not good enough. You should of seen the look on Amy's face. It was not her fault that they fired "Big Scott."

Big Scott used to come in every year for the month of March and detail all of our taxis out. He did A real good job and I never heard of any cab failing. I think it had to do with money. What else. The shop guys just don't really seem to care. Next time I will do it myself.

They will let me drive...we just had to promise to go back to the shop and do it right. Note the new hack medallion on the back...Sweet...

I have found that at every service that they did on my cab during the year when the inspection comes they will do a super job. But not all drivers do that, pays off on in the end.
