Shop for Tech inspection for track

I am planning on going to VIR on may 5th. Need to get track inspection. I talked to many shops and they told me they do not provide such service. Does anyone know a shop in NOVA that can take care of this.
Thanks

Sorry not nova but gt performance in Maryland will do this for you. They don't call it tech inspection but they can provide that service. Quite a drive from VA though.

Currys Auto does track inspection for free, though if the brake fluid is more than 6 months old they'll insist on changing it, which is probably for the better anyway.

Yes I talked to them but they want to charge 130$ for brake fluid which is ridiculous

Well you can get it done somewhere else and then take it there for inspection. I usually get $40 discounts at currys when I use my "currys reward points" card thing and BMWCCA discount. Honestly though, an hour long track inspection with another hour to replace and bleed break fluid for about $120 isn't too bad for a shop with BMW certified mechanics.

Tell them your a CCA member (even if you're not) and its an easy 5-10% discount.

Price sounds about right to me. Brake flush is about 60-90 min job. It's an easy DIY if you have the right equipment

$130 is ridiculous?

That is about average for labor per hour around here. Maybe try At Speed Motorsports in Hanover, MD. I think their labor per hour charge is $120
