This is one of the few remaining businesses that are run the old Austin way. Fast turnaround, friendly service. Christy Popp has got customer service down to a science. She'll be moving over to their #1 location on Jim Hogg in August 2025. Highly recommended!

Christy is skilled, efficient, straightforward and no-nonsense. There's nothing fancy about it and I like it that way. The wait area is a line of chairs in the garage, no A/C, no appointments. Inspections are done in order of when people arrive.

Christy Popp really is the best. On Sept 1, 2025 her location is moving to 5220 Jim Hogg Ave, Austin (just down the road!). Waited maybe 20 minutes on a Friday morning.

Very efficient and easy experience! She also answered my questions. She also informed me that this location will close on August, but she will be moving to the original location.

I booked an appointment for a state inspection at my dealership and they said it would be at least an hour. I walked up to this place and the woman who so warmly greeted me said “it’ll be done in under 10 minutes.” She was swift, friendly, and obviously experienced. Protect this woman at all costs and screw the dealership.

Horrible place - fortunately there are lots of other nearby options. Was told to pull in for an inspection and after doing so was told that they were now closed - what a waste of time and will never go near again.

Terry was quick, efficient, and friendly. I'm not sure what more you can ask for when getting your vehicle inspected.

Very efficient! I was in and out in about 10-15 mins. Being new to the state, they voluntarily gave me information about getting my car registration given recent changes with COVID 19. Would definitely recommend and go here again.

Awesome service. I went right when they opened on a Saturday, and they got me in and out in about 15 minutes. They are courteous, professional, and they made my first inspection ever a really easy transaction. They charge 18.50 for inspection/emissions (as of 2016), which is standard.

Unbelievable how efficiently, thoroughly, and carefully they churn through inspections. I have a super tricky gas cap that I forgot to open before the inspection started, but the tech deftly opened it without damaging anything (something I even struggle to do). I was in and out in *less than ten minutes*. That included her taking the time to remove my old sticker, something other shops charge for, even though she had other customers waiting.

There was a wait for other cars to finish, but it was a quick inspection. Guy was really efficient and I'll definitely be coming back! Make sure to remember they close at 3 on Saturday but if there's not too many other people there it'll go quick.

Terry is very efficient. She gets you in and out quickly. Plus, she is a pleasant person to deal with.

I saw the reviews and thought I would check it out. Really couldn’t believe it, because it was absolutely true. It was the fastest inspection I’ve ever had. Pulled right up, and this took less then 10 minutes of my time. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had in an auto shop.

*Edit - went back 2 years later and there were signs posted. The service was even faster, this is the only spot I'll go for my state inspection. Very fast and easy inspection. It was a little confusing when I first pulled up as I didn't know who to talk to, but after I mistakenly went inside I was directed to the right mechanic. The inspection was over in under 15 minutes and I was second in line.

Incredibly efficient. Several people in line but inspector was thorough and speedy. The waiting area outside allowed for socially distant seating. Will definitely go back next year.

I never go anywhere else. Fast friendly service every time. The lady that always seems to be working there seems to be a multi-tasking master. Never slows down. Very impressive.

Pulled up for an inspection right at 9am towards the end of the month and I got right in. Nothing like waiting to the last minute! I didn't catch her name, but the state inspector was so friendly and efficient. I will be doing all my inspections here moving forward!

Terry's #2 is totally worth the drive from South Austin. Even on a Saturday morning, there was only one car ahead of me. The technician (Richard) was speedy and even complimented my 14 year old car. Made me feel so good about the whole experience. It is especially important right now to support locally-owned businesses, and this one fits the bill. Pull into the parking lot, check in with the tech and be on your way in no time. All the stars to Terry's #2!

Maybe I just had bad timing but when I show up..the guys are not doing anything and people sitting around waiting because the only guy who does inspection isnt doing anything until he gets off the computer messing around and eating lunch...no thanks..I drove to Alans five minutes away and was in and out like nothing. Great guys over there..maybe a better experience would of helped but like they say.. You only get one chance to capture a customer and you didn't get me.

Tried coming here 3 times. Twice was told there were no more inspections even though it was only 2:45, and a third time I showed up Friday at noon but nobody was there. The bay was open but nobody was around.
