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.
First time it probably did. It was my mothers car. I took it to get inspected for her.
Second time, he followed "you need new wipers" with, "we sell a LOVELY assortment of wiper blades right over here, if you'd like for us to add it to the inspection!!!!"
