An illuminated check engine light will cause inspection failure. We diagnose and repair the underlying issue, clear the code, and complete the inspection once repairs are verified.
Worn brake pads, damaged rotors, or brake fluid leaks cause inspection failure. We repair brake issues promptly so your vehicle can pass inspection and operate safely.
All lights must work properly to pass inspection. We replace burned-out bulbs, repair wiring issues, and fix faulty switches to meet inspection requirements.
Excessive tire wear or insufficient tread depth fails inspection. We inspect tires carefully and can replace tires that don't meet minimum tread depth requirements.
Cracks or chips in the driver's line of sight cause inspection failure. While we don't repair windshields, we can refer you to trusted glass repair specialists.
Emission system problems prevent passing inspection in applicable counties. We diagnose and repair catalytic converter, oxygen sensor, and EVAP system issues.
We'll need your vehicle registration, current mileage, and VIN number. Our system connects directly to the Texas DPS database to verify your vehicle information.
We inspect all required safety items including brakes, lights, horn, mirrors, windshield wipers, tires, steering, and suspension. Each item must meet Texas safety standards.
For applicable vehicles in emissions testing counties, we connect to your vehicle's computer system to verify emission control systems are functioning properly.
