      Mrs. ********* Levels came to the shop to get a state inspection on May 19th, she paid the inspection fee of $25.50. The vehicle failed the original inspection due to the monitors status showing not ready, this can be caused by a reset on the system, battery replacement, or prior work being done. She was advised to drive it to allow monitors to reset, after returning a few times and not being able to reset it, our technician offered to drive the vehicle in order to reset monitors and to pass the inspection. After driving it, vehicle reset and passed the inspection. Customer came to pick up the vehicle, everything was fine, running without any issues. After the fact, she came back claiming that we stole a coil, we denied her claim.  Her vehicle is a 4 cylinder, if a coil was completely missing or taken out of her car as she claimed, the vehicle would have not been able to be driven off the lot without missing, misfiring or not even running at all. Basically, a faulty or missing coil or spark plug will cause a vehicle to not produce enough spark or compression. We also reviewed our cameras and there is not proof of her claim. Our technician was just trying to be helpful, she was not charged for anything other than the $25.50 for the state inspection. Due to our camera evidence at our shop, there is not proof that anything was taken from her vehicle or engine. For that reason we are not responsible for her missing coil.
