I was told the the Dedham service center does no perform MA state inspections as most dealers do. What places are recommended by current owners (especially of Model 3) for state inspection in the Boston area? Thanks!

My local guy apparently put down the range on the inspection for mileage. He went to put down the same next year and asked if I ever drive the car.

I took my Model 3 to Dedham Gas & Service, which is the location where Tesla Dedham has been referring anyone who asks where to get an inspection. (You can tell they inspect several Model 3s per day because they'll ask you for "the card" instead of "the keys"!) No need to explain the car or how it works, you just hand them the card, they drive it into the bay, and less than five minutes later, you're done... without any time to strike up a conversation with the owner of the next Model 3 in line. 
Only issue with this location is that their property is tiny, with only a few spaces to park... so showing up on a day/time when there isn't a lot of demand for inspection stickers is probably a good idea.

Really any inspection place will do. They all have to charge the danger. You have a week or so for a new car.

I think you are referring to the Exxon station, on Washington St. across from the central fire house in Dedham Square. That is also where I have taken my Model S for three years now, as well as other cars before that. The owner is a big fan of Tesla. The place looks very unassuming but I've been treated well there. Very convenient to the Tesla store, too, just about a mile away.

Thank you autocorrect on my phone. The correct statement is "they all have to charge the same for an inspection". I can't edit the original post, or I'd have fixed it.
I went today to Shimon's Service Station in Brookline. It was a little busy but they seem to know how to handle Teslas. In fact they told me the did 3 Teslas today before I got there in the afternoon.
By the way, not sure it's been mentioned in the forum before, but the reason the guy in charge of my Model S delivery in Dedham last week gave me for Tesla not doing inspections is that they are the manufacturer of the car, so they are not at this point allowed to do the inspection themselves. I did read someone mentioning it was because they would then also have to inspect ICE cars, so, not sure which is true.
The latter is true. If you do inspections you have to take on all comers.
Tesla's garages aren't designed to vent exhaust fumes.
Watertown has a deal with the nearby Lexus dealer and they will get you a sticker there if you give them the cash up front.
