If it doesn’t pass the smell test as you say. Tell them to fail it and you will do it yourself. I also assume you know how to check brake pad wear and replace them.

Why would you assume that?

OP is making a statement it doesn’t pass the smell test and saying this shop is shady is a bold claim if you can’t tell wear on a brake pad or rotor. If you are making a claim as such I would hope you had something to back that up.

I think it was more the fact that the items prohibiting a pass for the inspection were piling up. If you’re coming back to a client telling them that their case won’t pass I’m assuming you’ve performed the whole inspection and found X amount of issues. Not one then another then another. That kind of shady shit is what doesn’t pass the smell test…. You don’t need to be a mechanic to know when you’re being taken for a ride. I’m assuming you have a basic understanding of human fallacy?

It's a little off to say "you'll fail because of one thing but we can fix it, then when that's ok'd, you come back and say also now there's this thing"

At the very least, it's a weird look and seems counter intuitive. A shop should want to find as many billable items on the first go around.
