Went in for an oil change and I was told $85.00 for full synthetic. I was fine with that. The mechanic who actually worked on my car is always friendly, prompt, and does his best. But when it was time to pay, the other man in the shop told me that the credit card machine charged tax. It was a point of sale clover credit card machine (which takes a percentage of their total, it doesn't "charge tax.") I asked the man how much tax would be, he informed me that WITH tax, my total would be 97 dollars! When asked why, he explained that the oil was full synthetic, it goes for 7,500 miles and I would be able to drive longer. (So he contradicted himself on WHY there was a 12 dollar up charge. First, tax charged by the credit card machine...then it was because the oil was full synthetic). The original mechanic tried to rectify the issue and was super nice about it, even offering to "take care of us on the next oil change) but we will not be back. Simply because honesty is so important and that other guy is a flat out liar.

I went back for them to complete inspection after failing cause back window break light was not working, got told go park in the place the man said too and after about 10 mins they looked over at me got in a truck and left , another man pulled up beside asked what needed told him what needed so he called them and told him they be back in about 45 minutes.Very unprofessional and completely ridiculous it's a hott day 80's or 90's to hot sit in a car wait for them, but had too......

These guys were a trip! Was getting haircut next door and saw they had a sign for inspections. Was on my motorcycle so stopped by. They had me roll right in and got me inspected and ready to go in ten minutes.Guys had great senses of humor while waiting. I'll definitely be back!

Accurate, professional and timely service. The owner is very knowledgeable and provides thorough emissions inspection service with minimal wait. I have been coming here for the past 2 years and am extremely happy with the service.

Got my car inspected here today. Did not wait very long and was informed that everything passed. Asked how much for the inspection and was told $40, which I paid in cash. Had thought it was $30, but assumed it had gone up in 2023. When I got home, the receipt states in small print at the bottom that the max charge for inspection is $30. The work was fine, but I don't like being taken advantage of. CORRECTION: The extra $10 was the charge for checking the darkness of the tinted windows. It seems ridiculous to force someone to pay for checking tinting on a car every year when nothing changed.

Missed him on Thursday because I showed up at 12:15 and he was out to lunch (sounds like 12-1). Went today at 2pm and there was no wait, he had me in and out in 20 mins or less, $30 for the inspection. Nice guy. Couldn't have been easier. So glad that other Google reviews led me to him. I'll be back next year!

I got nc inspection there. There was not much wait which was good. However, the person told me that I had to remove tinted in the back window which previously passed at other inspection places. He told me to removed them and come back in 60 days. But I did not want to go back, so I removed the tint at the parking lot and he finally passed my car. I couldn't understand why my car had passed the tiny inspection at some other places previously, but this place says I failed. Also if you pay with a credit card, they charge $1.33. The previous places I went to never charged any fee for using credit cards. So, I regret that I chose this place. Also, there is no waiting room and the parking lot is not paved. I would not recommend this place based on my experience. The guy was funny though but told me to remove my tint or else, my car will not pass.

Super helpful. Came in on the last day of the month as they were about to close due to getting my car back from the repair shop that same day. They were willing to do the inspection and with barely a wait. Thank you!

I went on a Wednesday about noon, in the middle of the month. There was no wait, and the owner completed the work in about 15 minutes. Highly recommend, I'll be back again next year.

He failed my inspection because I proved to him the tint on the back windows are factory. Bad business go somewhere else.

Very kind staff very well mannered very knowledgeable was very helpful and letting us know what needs to be fixed on the car before it would pass we took it and got it fixed what he told us and that was the problem and carry it back and you ran it and it passed very high standards and very well mannered place I look forward to going there again we did have a couple people jump us but I went to high school with the guy that did it and he was like that in school so just he's never changed he's still a bully and thinks he runs the world but I told a guy running the place just let it go it won't work the trouble just going to do it and get him out so once a bully always a bully.

Alfred is quick, professional, and tells you how it is. No hidden costs. I highly recommend if you're in need of a notary or state inspection. Plus he has good stories while you're getting it done!

This has been my place for years, but I am going to move on. The hours are a suggestion. They never seem to be in a hurry and always have a line. Tried three times in a week to get an inspection and never got in.
