These guys are fast and efficient even when they're really busy they get the cars out quick I don't know what in the world the previous guy was thinking giving them a one star I don't even know what he's rambling about (probably on drugs) but I was there that day before Thanksgiving they were busy but they were knocking them cars out quick. read more

Home of the "10 min sticker stop". Finally finished my vehicle an hour and a half later. 3 dudes "working" there but no more than 1 at a time actually doing inspections. The other 2 sitting around the office while customers waited for their 10 min sticker stop to be done. Don't promote a 10 min stop if you have no intention of providing expeditious service. read more

As advertised -- got my vintage car inspected and back on the road in about 10 minutes (that road happens to be 620, past Lakeline Mall, not the suburb show in the map preview). I ended up here when Anderson Mill Inspection was randomly closed, but hadn't updated the voicemail (with a paper sign taped on the very closed gate, sigh). Sticker Stop said Locally Owned and Operated, and that's cool enough, right? The selling point for me was that there is NO selling. They only do vehicle inspections, hurray! read more

They get you in & out in no time!!! The only place you should get your car inspected! Ask for Eric! He was very friendly & even gave me good tips about my car that I didn't know about! Very VERY pleased! Will be back again! read more

I understand not taking customers too close to closing, but when I show up 15 minutes before close and they turn me away because "it takes ten minutes to do an inspection," we've got an issue (not to mention a math mixup). Luckily there's a Jiffy Lube right next door that helped me out with no wait time. Way to drop the ball and lose to a competitor, guys. read more

I imagine working in a car inspection station is stressful. No one is happy to be there. And with Texans having a pretty big anti-government streak, I imagine a lot of people see these guys as an extension of bureaucracy and not a way to keep our roads just a bit safer. So I doubt on the best of days they get a lot of positive feedback. Well, my car failed inspection. The technician came in, had all the paperwork ready, and explained that my gas cap was leaking and so my old Honda had flunked. He let me know exactly where to get a replacement, and assured me I could come in once I got a replacement and they'd get me out of their as quickly as possible. Professional, friendly, and polite. I went back today just in time to see someone else fail. "Your driver's side brake light's out - everything else's fine" the driver was told. "You can see for yourself - we have bulbs for $3.95 or you can get one down the street for a buck cheaper." Again, very polite, professional. The driver was happy to get the bulb and get on his way. And me and my fresh gas cap was cleared a few minutes later. These guys are fast, professional, accurate, and doing a good job in a pretty thankless biz. You couldn't ask for better. read more

I went in at 2:15 on a Wednesday afternoon five days before the end of the month. The inspector ran my credit card at 2:29:09 so it took 14 minutes to get my inspection which is great in my opinion. The facility was clean including the bathroom and the inspectors were professional and courteous. What I liked most? No selling of any kind. I hate to go to an auto repair shop for an auto inspection because most often you have to listen to a pitch on auto maintenance or repair. Nothing like that here. The Sticker Stop is a State Auto Inspection business. That's what they do and they do it well. I'll be back next year. read more

5 stars because they have perfected what car inspection should be -- cheap, quick, and easy. This place is all of the above. They quote their inspection times to be 10 minutes, and they've met that goal both times I've been there. They don't try and sell you things you don't need *cough jiffy lube*, and if you don't pass inspection due to something cheap like a headlight bulb, they sell it to you without charging a premium or convenience fee. Will continue coming back. read more

FAST. Courteous. Attentive. I come here every year for my inspections and this shop provides excellent service. I went next door this time because there was a short wait here. MISTAKE. After waiting 15 minutes next door, while Sticker Stop moved 3 cars through, I was still waiting. Came back to Sticker Stop. You have earned my business and respect. read more

I've had cars inspected here for years, and every time it's been around 10-15 minutes for the actual inspection, but if there are a lot of people you might have to wait. Be reasonable! Of course if you come on a Saturday afternoon or something and there are tons of people and barely any parking, it's probably gonna be more than ten minutes. These guys are fast but thorough. They can only do so much and they wanna make sure you're not driving around in a screaming metal deathtrap. The latest car that I brought to be inspected luckily had no wait, but the nice guy that helped me was super friendly, upbeat, smiling, and the entire experience was just pleasant. I had forgotten my phone in the car (I'm forgetful) and he made sure to lock it up and bring me the keys when he was done. He made no mention of my car blaring upbeat pop music at him, which was kind too. Before I left, he rushed out to hand me some papers I had forgotten behind. These places don't do a super complex service, but everything about it was great and I'll definitely keep coming back. read more

Came in shortly after 2PM on a Tuesday, was done and back on the road by 2:30. Quick service, very straightforward, and being a non-Texan I was also advised on what I needed to complete my vehicle registration process. A+++++++ would return again read more

On a Friday afternoon, I was pretty frustrated with Jiffy Lube and Pep Boys BOTH saying, "Uhhhhh, you just missed our inspection guy. He went home for the day." At 3:00 PM on a weekday. How convenient. Translation: We don't make that much money off of inspections and don't want to do it. I then found Sticker Shop on Yelp and it was only a 5 minute drive. I popped over, gave my keys and insurance card to the nice guy, and headed to the gas station to get a Kind bar (I was pretty hangry at this point). By the time I was a third of the way through the Kind bar, my car was ready. I happily paid my $18ish and went home. This place is easy, quick, and no BS. I highly recommend it. read more

Super easy and quick. Took less than 5 min to get my inspection and the people working there were friendly

Dont try to go on a Friday morning, apparently- it took more than 10 minutes to get signed in... Better luck next time, hopefully Update- going in the middle of the month and not on a Friday led to a much better experience- timing is everything read more

A fantastic spot for your car registration. Nothing fancy, tiny waiting area with like 5 seats, but they really get you in and out fast. Needed to get mine done midday on a Saturday and feared the worst as I figured there'd be a long line. I had like 5 people ahead of me, but they still got me in and out in less than 30 minutes, and the actual inspection takes about 10 minutes. Had a burned out brake light, and they replaced it for just a few bucks saving me the hassle of doing it myself and having to look up the proper bulb number and having to hunt it down. I've been here a few times now, and always have good service and will continue to go back. read more

Always quick, efficient, courteous, and knowledgeable. Will definitely come back next year. read more

Sticker Stop - Been coming here for 3 years. Efficient and courteous. Will come back next year. - Car Inspectors Near Me - Austin, Texas

This review will be based on my service today, 1/7. Recently moved from Virginia and needed to transfer my car over and become resident. Everyone knows how much of a hassle it is with emissions testing but these guys made it so easy. I was in and out in 20minutes. Helpful staff and knowledgable about what I need to do next. Previous I showed up 1/6 to get my car done, and the girl at the front desk was not very nice. She was angry that I didn't have my Texas state insurance on my car yet, as I had just moved. My insurance company did not tell me anything within regards so I had to come back. I was reluctant to go back, but I am glad I did and did not have to deal with the same person. read more

Simple. Drive up. Show insurance (electronic document online as well) Wait. Pay. $18.50 Drive away. Simple read more

This place is exactly what it advertises to be- a sticker stop for state inspections. No nonsense, no luring with coupons, no lies about the wait time and the inspection itself was about 10-12 minutes long. Note that WAIT and ACTUAL INSPECTION times are totally different Scenarios. There may be a wait to get your inspection depending on the day of the month or even the time of day. I was in and out in 20 minutes, which means my car took 10 minutes to get out of line and into the inspection. The staff knows exactly what they're doing so there is no dilly dallying just because "it's an inspection" like a few other auto service stations. (I have waited an hour at a jiffy lube because my car was there for an inspection and not an oil change.) The standard rate is $18.75 , procedure is simple- park your car, walk in, show your insurance and wait till your car comes out. The end. This is a perfectly good place to get your state inspection done. read more

I had an awesome and smooth experience here and will definitely return and recommend others to the Sticker Stop. I have been to Jiffy Lube who tried to upsell me on things I did not need in the middle of the inspection so that they would pass it. Then my most recent experience at Pep Boys where I was given a quote of sensor issues and needing new tires. My experience today at the Sticker Stop was the best I have ever had getting my inspection. I was in and out within 15 minutes and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Keep up the great work! read more

I had to get my car inspected and my boyfriend came across this location. They advertise the inspection being 10 minutes. They were spot on. It was even raining out when I arrived and I believe one other person was in front of me. I read a couple of these reviews and please note the inspection time is 10 minutes. Not the wait time. Of course if there are 3 others ahead of you you are going to have to wait. Staff was very friendly and efficient with their time. Highly recommend!! read more

I arrived at 7:30 AM. My car was in the inspection bay by 7:32 AM. I sat down, had a cup of cold water, and watched Nobody's Fool in the waiting room, which is an excellent film. My car was done 10 minutes later, and I was out of there by 7:42 AM. Who could possibly ask for anything more from a car inspection? I will never not go to Sticker Stop again. read more

Was hopeful going to a business that all they did was state inspections. Disappointed to see half the staff on their phones in the office while numerous customers came in without being waited on. Still was optimistic that I shouldn't judge if their employer is fine with that. My tech performed his job OK but the most critical step getting the information entered into the state database was an epic fail. After several attempts to renew my registration online, determined that I was not even in the system. Called the shop and was told to go to the "DMV" to get my car's registration. No offer or attempt to fix the problem and get me in the system. read more

I dropped in about 1:30 pm and the place was really busy, but they were efficient, relatively quick, and super affordable! I will bring all my cars here for inspection in the future! read more

Bad service. Not sure what Joshua's problem is. Never said hi, bye, thank you or anything. You can definitely tell he hates his job and is taking it out on everyone. Service was fast though. Just lacking customer service. read more

My favorite part was that a very nice young lady did the inspection on my vehicle. I'll go out of my way to go back. That's how pleasant the experience was. read more

They're always fast & always take good care of my truck. I don't go anywhere else. Thanks, Sticker Stop!

They perform auto inspections exactly as advertised - within 10 minutes. They are not a repair shop, so they do not try to flunk you to get repair business. They even accept credit cards. There is a Gatti's Pizza next door, if you want to get some pizza while they inspect your car..but since they are so quick, they will likely be done inspecting your car before you finish your pizza. They have a picnic table out back to sit at to have your meal if you so choose, or you can wait inside. The inspection technician was very nice and efficient. I highly recommend this no frills inspection station and will definitely return. read more

Fast, convenient and efficient. They get the job done easy. Like it should be.. the raced out to help me and I was in and out in under 15 minutes. I like this one because it has 2 garages unlike some of the other ones that only have one slot for inspection. read more

Nice associates, but you'll probably wait 20 minutes to be seen. I came once in the middle of the day, and it was a 40 min. wait. Came again in the morning around 8am and it was still a 20 min. wait. Given that they only do inspections, I was expecting a shorter wait, but as long as you expect it coming in, it's not that bad. read more

Fast, efficient and happy to work with my 30 year old pet car. Yes, timing is important for how busy they are. My whole family takes all our cars there and it usually takes only 15 minutes. read more

Update: I emailed the owner of the chain and she said she was not only aware of the problem, but was actively working to fix it. So maybe there is some hope for these guys! Updating rating from 1 to 4 stars. ------------------- Original review (1/7/2017): I get and respect that you guys want to get out of work at a specific time, but your published closing hours on your website are for CUSTOMERS not for employees. If you want to leave at 4 and you expect a 30 minute backlog, make your published closing time at 3:30. It's really quite simple, and the way every other business in America works. It's a crappy experience to drive about an hour both ways through traffic just to learn that you guys don't get the concept of a closing time. And it's a crappy experience for the kid behind the counter to have to explain and apologize to anyone who shows up within 30 minutes before your closing time. read more

Fast, friendly, with no frills and no hassle. I came in early on the second to the last Saturday of the month and was in and out I'm 15 minutes. read more

I was in and out in 10 mins. It was a fair price & the employees were nice. I definitely recommend this place.

Update: Since first visiting Sticker Stop in 3/2009, I've been back each year with both our cars. They continue to do just what they advertise: inspect your vehicle in 10 minutes. Very polite, courteous and all business. Visit this locally owned business! read more

I can only assume your 10 minute inspection begins after your 30-45 minute wait. I've tried this place twice and both times the wait is silly. An hour to get your car inspected?? No thanks. After being informed of the wait I decided to drive down the road to Alan's. They saw me immediately and had me out the door in less than ten minutes. Now that's a true 10 minute inspection. read more

As previous reviews state, they are extremely unfriendly. No greeting when I arrived. They walked past me multiple times without acknowledging my presence, then the guy just says "Insurance card?" Well Howdy to you, too! Waiting room has no A/C so expect to sweat like a pig while you sit and wait. When I paid and left, no thank- you or anything. I will never return here. read more

I appreciate the fact that they are closed on Sunday. Been coming here for years with always professional, friendly and honest attention. My gas cap fail on one of the vans, but easily corrected and no further charge for a re-inspection. Needed a light bulb. $3.95 read more

So much for the 10 minute inspection!! Couldn't change a brake light bulb, so had to go to Automotive shop, then back since they charge once started. A friend warned me NOT to come here, learned the hard way!!!! read more

Literally took 10minutes to get my car inspected. Fast thorough and no hassle. I recommend getting your car inspections done here!
