The FINAL INSPECTION is supposed to be the technician at the dealer that does the PDI, or Pre Delivery Inspection! They get paid 1 hr labor per vehicle usually for initial checkover, road test and minor adjustments, fluids, tire pressure, hood/trunk/door latch bumpers and adjustments. There is a quality manufacturers checklist form that should be turned in on each vehicle at PDI completion. Any other problems or corrections are at warranty rate. You are supposed to be delivered a vehicle in perfect condition, so sad it rarely happens. I used to do PDIs when I was a line tech for Honda and Toyota. I treated each one I did as if I was taking delivery of it myself. The rest of the guys didn't care. They would bring 2,3 or 4 in at a time, remove the shipping covers, check the lights and radio, gas it and on the lot it went. Easy money spending a whole 15 minutes on each and getting paid for 1 hr of work for each car and the customer and manufacturer suffer the consequences of procedures not followed.
I was working at a Toyota Chrysler dealer when the first LH cars came out. They seemed nice at the time. The Chrysler tech's never properly PDId the vehicles. I had my wife come over after I got off work to drive a new mini van and a Concorde just to see what she thought. Hated the van, seemed to like the car at first but then we went over a set of railroad tracks......oh boy the rear suspension sounded like it was going to fall off, and the right pillar trim fell in her lap, then the dash cover popped loose across the entire dash! She looked at me and said take this POS back not buying any Chrysler at all. We got a Camry, which is what I wanted any way. This was in 94. A proper PDI would have corrected those issues before the customer experienced them. You only get one chance sometimes.......
