Yes, they may charge you for this. But do not tell them the reason behind the inspection. Tell them your friend wants to sell this car and you want to check before buying it. So ask them check the condition and provide a thorough report.
The report from them will hold some value and not your mechanics statement if you serious want to take some action against carnation guys.
