> I think what he is saying is that there's a dealership service visit immediately before an inspection.
Exactly. A car brought to the inspection by the dealership will basically never fail it. And expensive luxury cars are far more likely to be serviced by a dealer.
> A great way to manipulate inspection statistics.
I don't think this is intentional, just a nice side effect. Mostly dealerships just make the most money by servicing cars.
