Inspection I

How long should the Inspection I take? From looking at the list I would think that a GOOD job would take at least 2-3 hours. I had mine last week and it only took them 2 hours to do that and diagnose/fix a bad fan (forget which fan). That just seems kind of quick especially since later that day after I picked it up it started raining and when I turned on my wipers one of them where ripped. In the manual it has the wipers as part of inspection.

I'm curious on the time as well since I will be going in for this in the next few months.

I seem to remember them giving me a loaner for the day when they did this and it taking about four hours.

MOS gave me a loaner for the day, but it still only took them about 2 hours. That just seems really quick to me and makes me wonder if everything was done. Obviously it wasn't because my wiper blades are ripped.

Have you asked them? They gave me a checklist with everything ticked off as "done." (They being MINI of Towson) If you have a checklist indicating wiper blades checked, and they were not, I would politely bring that to their attention and tell them it makes you suspect other things might have been overlooked. Hopefully (and probably) nothing else was. But at least you will have peace of mind and a record that you brought this to their attention.

I have had to remind Towson to check my wiper blades everytime I am in (including this weekend.) I seem to run through them very fast!
