Professional and courteous. They don't upsell. You get what you need with sales pitch.​​

The place is efficient for vehicle inspection. The reception area is cramped with only three chairs inside and 4 chairs outside overlooking the gas pumps. They charge the state mandated fees with no surcharge except 4% if one pays by credit card which is completely understandable. Staff is friendly and polite. No bathrooms. read more

Quick and easy emissions testing. Faster than waiting at the Dealer. Fixed pricing as regulated by the state.

I always come here for my annual inspection. It's quick, cheap and friendly. Chelsea at the register inside is so nice and gave me a super helpful tip today about registration renewal. You're in and out usually in 30 min! read more

Flashpoint Auto Inspection - Car Inspectors Near Me - Austin, Texas

they are efficient and easy. the worst thing about this place is the parking can be meh but that happens. have gotten my inspections here now three years in a row and it's a smooth process from start to finish, and i think about $20. the oil change was $70 which is to be expected. read more

Flashpoint offers oil changes and inspection. They are very conveniently located on corner of s.1st and Ben white east bound. You check in, pay and give your keys in the gas station. There are chairs outside on the shade to wait. The process was quick and efficient and they bring your car around with the copy of your inspection on the dash! This place is great! read more

The workers here are quite racist as I (and a black person) were the only ones who were asked to email the copy of the insurance. My car is a Toyota Yaris iA. The insurance that they had me email entailed that. And yet they put a Scion on my report. I showed them my insurance and a VIN website online and the worker looked at me like I had just come from Mars. She acted so confused and then showed her the symbol. They then proceeded to fix it but something that should have taken 10 minutes took 45 minutes since they decided to make me wait behind a car again. Save your time and give your money elsewhere, lots of better inspection stations in town. read more

Do not call them, they don't answer. Had to call four times to get someone, and they refused to give an email address so I could request a quote. When they do, they are exceptionally rude and unhelpful. If they can't answer the phone professionally, then why would anyone trust them with their car? read more

Fast. Cheap! Loved the convenience and short wait. Nice people too. Would recommend highly read more

Super quick and easy. Took fifteen minutes and costs less than 20 dollars! Can wait inside the convenient store.

Very nice people. No appointment needed but the wait can be a bit long. I wish they had some better chairs or a waiting room area. Sitting out by the gas station is a bit awkward. read more

Super fast service. Nice workers, not that talkative. The process is super easy and fast. Park at the gas station, pay inside, email your insurance, give your keys and wait outside. Might as well get a snack while you wait and gas when it's done. 2nd time here and will be coming back again. read more

Needed a new "emission Inspection" - and after taking my other car to a different inspection station, I wanted to find someplace that wouldn't have a 2 hour wait. Flashpoint was easy to find and it had a bunch of amenities at the location: gas pumps, waiting area in a convenience store so you can get a snack or beverage while you wait, attentive and helpful staff and it took me no longer than the 15 minutes I was quoted when I arrived. Top notch experience from start to finish. Way to go little local business! read more

Very busy and they handle it well. Very professional and polite. Fee is reasonable. They know how to keep it moving. I was impressed!

In and out in 10 minutes. Quick and easy, bring a way to email your insurance card (which needs to have the make, model, and VIN of your car), and you're good. I only had to pay 10 bucks and was good to go. read more

Came here for a vehicle inspection and was in and out in less than 15 mins. Knowledgable workers about what you specifically need and what documents I needed to provide. read more

I'd like to say this place is popular and for good reason. For anyone else wanting to go, take my mistake as a lesson. I thought it was connected to a gas station and not that the gas station was a part of the oil change/inspection part. I went to what my GPS told me was the entrance and was promptly yelled at where I couldn't understand the man bc the noise was too loud. I asked him to please come to my window so I could hear and he kept yelling. So...when I called, the lady was kind enough to let me know to pull around and park to come inside to sign up. I'm used to Austin drive in/drive up inspections where I stay in the car so this was embarrassing and also frustrating since I felt like I was being spoken to like a child when I was asking for clarification. Email your insurance to flashpoint78704@gmail.com before you get there or when you get there and turn in your keys to the front desk. You'll wait in the lobby or wherever you'd like. It's a great service overall and going to new places is rough enough in this city, I wish I was welcomed a little more kind since it was obvious I was very lost. read more

My vehicle tags are due in August and I was having trouble at full auto repair shops that required my car all day. Showed up at Flashpoint without appointment just after a 11 AM, and the staff was friendly & efficient with completed inspection by 11:26 AM! Note this place only provides fuel, state inspections & oil changes with quick turnaround. Located in heavy traffic area, so plan accordingly for time. read more

Flashpoint Auto Inspection - Flashpoint Point Auto sign - Car Inspectors Near Me - Austin, Texas

I usually get my car inspected here bc it's convenient. But it's rarely a flash. Confusing service. But gets the job done.

Went to this location for an emissions test last week and they were friendly, professional, and super quick! Will definitely be back in the future. read more

I came here due to a recommendation from the Jiffy Lube down the street. I emailed them my proof of insurance, sat down for 5 minutes and it was done. Insanely fast service and great customer service. 10/10 would recommend. read more

During my car inspection they said my license plate night light was out, and it needed a new bulb. They asked me for permission to install a new bulb and quoted me a fee for that. I said yes, go ahead and do it. A few minutes later they said I didn't need a new bulb after all -- my existing bulb simply needed to be adjusted to re-establish connection with the socket. So they didn't charge me for the light after all. A lot of auto shops, after already getting permission to charge a customer for something, would've done the unnecessary work anyway and charged for it. These guys were honest enough to not do it, despite having been green-lighted for it. That warranted this post! :) read more

Had to get my emissions done. I showed up in the morning and I was in and out in 15 minutes! Definitely recommend!

I will not be going here anymore because I thought they were doing a good job at first, till I checked the amount of oil and they did not fill up my oil all the way. Ive been having trouble finding places to do my oil just because I am female and it is completely unacceptable. read more

Super quick! I was impressed by how easy the process was. I just drove up and the inspector came out to check me in. I waited about 15 minutes in a small outdoor area, and then was done! read more

Part gas station, part inspection place, part smoke shop, park convenience store. They got the the process down and they get it done quick. 100% recommend. They literally had my car ready as I was writing this review and I came on a Saturday morning. read more

I came here after visiting nachos auto repair and it was a world of difference. This place actually cares has great air conditioning and the same prices. They have parking and the owner was really friendly and they have a great convienence store inside with great snacks. I highly recommend 10/10 and will be back! read more

amazing service! so polite. got it done!! I will always be coming back here. the chairs outside were a nice touch. also a refreshing cola to pass the already short time. read more

Again second vehicle passed these guys are quick and friendly might add they cleanest mechanic ever. read more

Flashpoint Auto Inspection - Car Inspectors Near Me - Austin, Texas

They were completely dishonest with me. I told them what I needed and they said they couldn't answer my question until I paid for a safety inspection. I didn't need or want a safety inspection but I paid, waited 20 minutes, and then was told they couldn't do what I asked and wouldn't refund the money. read more

Quick, efficient, and open on Sunday. Will definitely use again. Found everyone to be helpful and process was easy to follow.

I was amazed at how quick the entire inspection was from start to finish. I needed an inspection to get my registration renewed. I found flashpoint online and since it was close decided to give them a try. You simply pull up alongside the building and park. Go in to the gas station portion and pay and give them your keys and a copy of your vehicle insurance (apparently you can also email a copy to them). Then, before I had time to sit in one of the folding chairs they have outside in shaded area, my car was done! It was quick, fast, and efficient. Also, it was BUSY but they know what they're doing and were able to get me in and out. I highly recommend going here for state vehicle inspections - especially if you're in a hurry. read more

I came here for a vehicle inspection and oil change. DO NOT COME HERE. The filter they put in my car leaked out and completely ruined my engine in my 2015 Honda Accord. I took it to a different auto body shop where they took pictures of the faulty fliter and metal in the oil and said to call Flashpoint to submit a claim through their insurance since I need a new engine. When I called, they were very demeaning and unhelpful and said they will not be helping or providing any insurance information. I will never bring my car back here and highly recommend taking your car literally anywhere else. read more

The location kind of threw me off but everything was super fast and smooth. The girl inside who charged me for the service was kind. I hadn't eaten so I decided to have a snack and by the time I was half way done with my snack my car was ready to go. read more

i came to this place for inspection they had me waiting for 15 min outside and barley told me i had to check in then after inspection they were messing with the gas cap and ended braking it and then blamed me cuz i tried to put it on and it was already broken and then it wasnt there problem and threatning to call cops to leave and the register girl called my car a broke down bmw. i have a nice 550i bmw and these gas caps are not cheap on foreign cars im so disappointed on the service i got at this place read more

Flashpoint Auto Inspection - Car Inspectors Near Me - Austin, Texas

Professional, efficient and friendly. Greeted promptly in my car by a very friendly tech. Within 2 minutes max, my insurance was verified and I paid right at my car window for an inspection. I waited ~10 minutes and voila, my car was ready to roll. Inside of vehicle was still spotless. I will definitely be back for an oil change! Thank y'all! read more

Exactly what was mentioned on another post, really fast, in and out, didn't even take 15minutes.. will definitely return next time..

Waste of time. They refused my car because of a small windshield crack. Even though I just said, ok, they decided to be rude about it anyway. Also they make you pay before they look at your vehicle. They should probably reconsider this. read more

Dude, this place is super easy! Walk into the convenience store, ask for an inspection, email a photo of my insurance, pay and 20 minutes later I was done! So easy in fact that I got my truck inspected one day and two days later came back to get my motorcycle inspected. Boom! (and everyone was wearing masks to protect against covid19) cool read more

As a first time driver, I was anxious at getting my inspection sticker updated. Yet, this place was fast in inspecting my car and it wasn't that expensive ($20). The only downside is that they make customers wait outside while they do the inspection, but some sun never hurt anyone. Read the signs, and you'll be on your way! read more
