Local. Knowledgeable mechanic. They are open on Sun. and also have uhaul rentals. Great place for state inspections for car, boat trailer or Rv if your on the island. And if your not it's worth a stop into their eclectic gift shop!

My go to for vehicle inspections. This is also a U-Haul rental store and although it has been a while since I last rented a moving van from there they were processing rentals professionaly and efficiently last Saturday. Rental reservations are recommended!

These guys stole my money for a required vehicle inspection to obtain Texas licensing. I went to Ford afterwords to get it done correctly. I lost $25.50 for their bogus inspection. I was given a false about how our vehicle didn’t match my vehicle. That was a lie. They said “do not to go to the police, because it would be trouble for me.” When I went back to ask for my refund, they insulted me, and physically threatened me. BEWARE OF THIS PLACE FOR ANY AUTOMOTIVE SERVICES! Their bogus inspection was in retaliation was due to of a bad review of Hick’s U-Haul services... Two weeks before they forgot to mark our U-Haul trailer returned, which triggered U-Haul collections to me. They never answered their phone to discuss it after many attempts on a Friday. When I talked to him on Saturday, he said “I have too many customers to keep track of everything”. BEWARE OF THEIR U-HAUL SERVICES!

I've dealt with Hicks automotive twice within the past week. Once of for Uhaul and once for an auto inspection. Both times I was impressed with the speed and level of service. If you need to get your state inspection done in a timely manner, these are your guys.

My mom sent me here with my first car for inspection. It’s the only place I’ve taken both my vehicles, I don’t think I’ve ever spent more than 30 minutes there. Great quick service

I called about 30 minutes before closing and arrived 5 minutes before closing and the guys there were super amicable and helpful 👏👏👏 Service was quick and friendly with a nice chat about mosquitoes and the motorcycle rally. Being new to Galveston & being absolutely ignorant on car related things, I’m glad to know there’s a reliable shop to go to 🙌 Thanks guys!

Best customer service ever. The lady behind the counter made sure I was getting the best rate and the guys took over the parking of the trailer and truck, which made it an easy in and out.

I have done my share of moving during the past 2 years and Hicks Automotive is the absolutely the best U-Haul dealer I've had the pleasure to work with so far. These folks go above and beyond helping you. My reservation included a car trailer and the owner allowed me to leave my car in his location overnight so I wouldn't have to stress about finding parking for both the truck & trailer, allowing me to hitch the trailer and load my car the day of my departure. It's hard to find people willing to do you right these days. You can't go wrong with Hicks.

Everything you needed from uhaul and then some. They have all sorts of knickknacks. I even saw unopened packages of baseball and football cards from the 90s. The reason I came through was for my state inspection so I could register my vehicle at the tax office. I was immediately greeted and attended. The people there are very friendly and courteous, very quick to say hi, and I was in and out very quickly. If I need to rent a uhaul I know where I'm going this place is busy but they make time to take care of their customers. I will be back whenever I need something.

I rented a U-haul to move just a few items to my new house about 2 hours away. The rental process was easy, truck ran well and was well kept, and return was fast and efficient.

Wendy is the best. She's so helpful and knowledgeable. Their U-haul service is always on point and the items in the shop are unique and fairly priced. I go to this place over some that are more centrally located on the island because the customer service is always so excellent.

Everyone there was very helpful and kind to me. Helped me get my car inspected and I was able to renew my registration the same day! I had to come three different times for them to check my vehicle (vehicles issue not Hicks) and they only charged me once. Will come here again.

This is a great place to rent a uhaul, get your car inspected, and they even have a Lil antique shop, all in the same building! The staff is friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend it!
