you need to go to a different place
most places won't even check suspension.

you can check your suspension yourself. try to push down on it and see how many times it should bounce. it shouldnt be more than 1 time. and like others stated, you should go to a privately owned place, not corporate. private ones are more lienient and check for more of the visual stuff. like cracked headlight, taillights windows, bulbs blown, wipers, fluids. thats about it.
