TX sets the fee for the inspections. So, the guys with the higher overhead only do it as a come-on to get you in the door so they can find something wrong (i.e. brakes, wipers, etc). I play their game by having everything in compliance before I go in.
If you want to be assured someone's not performing inspections as a come-on, go to a place that ONLY does inspections. Those places are getting harder and harder to find.
Oh, and I'm not saying you didn't need new wipers either.
