No glitz, no glam. Just Terry being the man!
Michael T.

Terry's been taking care of Austin for as long as I've been alive I'm pretty sure - I'm thankful to be able to stop by once a year to support him and get my car inspected. Pro Tip: Bring cash to make it easy on him! $18.50 and you'll be in and out.

If a million dollar Ford GT can get it's inspection done here than your car can too. Easy and convenient.

1st inspection with my new baby.

Car inspection. Professional service and reasonable wait time. Inspections seem to be all they do, and they do it well.

Been coming to see Terry for 5, maybe 6 years now. Always quick and a cool experience (for getting a car inspected). He's a good dude.

I agree with the other posts that the older woman who took the payment/completed the inspection was…read moreextremely rude and impatient (receipt said their name was Brenda). I guess since it's been going on long enough for this many reviews that customer service may not be their focus. It took about 40 mins for the inspection... without too many people in line. $11.50 emissions inspection fee $2.50 credit card fee (~5x the highest typical credit card processing fee of 4%)

BEWARE!!! AVOID!!! EXTREMELY RUDE WOMAN!!…read more I just moved here from Portland, Oregon. Simply just needed an emissions test. When I drove up I stayed two car spaces from the entrance, this woman saw me and waved at me to move away, it was a wave that says get out of the way. There are no signs posted anywhere that state what you need to do. Typically, when we drive up to an emissions place we simply get in a lineup at the entrance. After NO one came up to the vehicle and asked me to park, and come inside -- They just assumed you can read their minds. This woman completely ignored me and simply didn't even care. And mind you I drove up in a very reasonable looking vehicle, as you can see. So I end up parking and walking inside to find out what their setup was and what I needed to do. At this point the woman comes up to the counter and states very rudely " You have park and come up and show us the insurance" like she was doing me a huge favor. That was the attitude. So I simply said, " I don't think you need my business" and she say " Whatever that's fine" ... and I walk away looking for another place on my phone. All I can say is what a horrible first impression. She could be an employee or part owner, what this woman doing in this business I have no clue. All I can say in conclusion is that everyone should boycott this place. The final point is that if she is treating a person like that, how is she going treat your vehicle when you are not looking. I am sure the owner knows about her attitude, and doesn't give a damn. My advise, don't risk your vehicle. Thank you for reading. Gio

Also very helpful when my warranty company needed additional invoices. The price was also a good value. Will definitely use their services again if needed!

In regard to your response Frank I'll expose again why no one should use you. To start I used you…read moreafter the break issue we resolved to give you a shot. I bring up that brake issue because it eventually became a pattern of dropping the ball, and repeated issues 1. My car had to be towed because basic logic well known issue for GMC/Chevy 6.2 liter V8 engines have a lifter issue which requires engine replacement. The car wasn't in bad shape as you say. Cadillac dealership said I should have it towed due to the knocking sound. My car has always been kept immaculate. Yes you quoted a fair price, it was Lambs in Lakeway that was ridiculous and most people know they are. The engine took long because they sent the wrong engine and in regards to my finances it wasn't I couldn't pay . I was at the mercy of you and I was nothing but polite every single interaction with you. Your dropped the ball so many times and you actually asked me for advance payment at one point because you needed to pay your taxes . I didn't want to pay you UPFRONT Frank. You fix then pay, that's most every way it's done . You didn't have the money to cover costs which is a concern regarding running a business. I had also just spent money on another car repair and boat repairs . The car sat as I decided what I wanted to do. As far as stating you could have charged me storage you never once mentioned that and I have every phone call that proves that. Pretty shady of you to pull that out on your reply here. Again not on single time did you ever mention storage fees. So please don't act as if it was some favor you did. The car went in for an engine replacement. As you confirmed the day you put the engine in to test drive you call me telling me I need steering column replacement. Yes I have you on recording Frank stating that indeed the lift and big tires were the culprit. The steering was completely fine and it had not been driven once per you as we waited for the engine issue and replacement to be resolved. You now understand why I recorded you. You can't remember what you told me. I didn't struggle to pay you. I had a boat in repair and another car a Range Rover in repair. I communicated to you very professionally. By the way let's remember you had me pay up front on everything. It was the engine that was ordered that was delayed. 2. Regarding the transmission line. Let the public see this post. I pick up my car from Frank and I make it about a quarter to half a mile or so down road and what becomes the problem is the transmission line. Frank I have that call to you recorded as well and your claim that I accelerated or false and blew the line is total BS. It had nothing to do with big tires. I'm saving all my facts, statements from GM certified techs , and video of your guy coming over to "fix" it. Within a day or 2 it went out again and I made you tow it for free. It was your guy that you sent and had him do what he did and sent me on my way and that all was fine only to have it sent back to you. By the way on our recorded call you tried to lead me to believe with certainty it was one thing when in fact you were wrong and called me with another reason. Again grateful I recorded both those conversations. The reputable mechanics I discussed were my brothers out of Houston. My brother owns a professional garage and luxury and collector car biz for 22 years. The other reputable people was a connection I had out of A Cadillac dealer in Dallas. I mentioned this to you and so logically my car stayed locally with you. 3. The whole issue about you spending 200 for the detail I will just say to anyone reading this look at the pics of my Escalade left in his care. Never should have happened Frank. By the way I took a time stamp video of my car before it went back to you. I didn't spill the oil. That's a regular engine oil. Why would I need engine oil to leave in my backseat after you just repaired and did an engine replacement. Again shady of you to blame that on me. And by the way I had to waste 3 hours of my work day sitting there waiting on a detail. Completely unprofessional. 4. I asked you you fix my windshield wiper motor while you had it. You never did. I kept asking you very time you had the car and I have your texts alone that show you forgot several times. same thing Frank regarding the transmission thermostat. I asked you several times, you came out to fix my running board and forgot to get the transmission thermostat and windshield motor. Again pretty crazy you fixed my transmission yet our texts show you dropping the ball on the thermostat. I have lost count on the amount of texts I have that show you never show up on time. I'm done with my response. I'll update this post after claims court.
