Review №1

After trying to get my car inspected at 3 different places who said their inspection systems were down, I went to Due Now because they were open and there were only 2 cars in line in front of me. When my turn came, I drove into the building and presented my insurance card. The inspector (who was friendly and nice, but very unprofessionally dressed - like he had just cleaned out a dirty storage shed) tapped some info into a tablet, asked for my odometer reading, then presented the tablet for my initials. He did not check lights, horn, wipers, or anything else required by Texas inspection. After I finished with the tablet, he told me the fee was $20. I questioned the fee breakdown: $7 for Texas state inspection, $6.50 shop fee and $6.50 OIS service. When questioned, he admitted the OIS service was optional - it was to cover periodic maintenance checks such as tire pressure, wiper fluid refill, etc. I opted out of this fee. He explained that the $6.50 shop fee was to help cover his expenses for equipment the state required for him to conduct inspections. Okay, I get that - this is his only service (he doesnt do oil changes or sell tires). But .... he did NOT inspect anything on my car except the VIN and the license tag. So if you have something wrong with your car that normally wouldnt pass inspection, take it here. You will probably get a passing inspection report.

I went by today at 2PM, within the hours posted at the location, and they were closed. Ive driven past other days during their open hours and theyve also been closed. I asked a man working at a nearby business whether they were ever open and he said not that hed seen in quite some time.

Closed at 2:50 pm on s Wednesday. Sign says it should be open at this day/hour. No sign saying closed. But no sign on side that says 3 Due Now. If its closed then the web site should be updated.

Tried to charge me around $125 for inspection and doing the registration for me. Its $85 for registration and $7 for inspection. Crooks. Firestone is $7 and online it costs me $85 as it should be. Still got me for a shop fee. Last business from me ever. 🤬

Drove here during my lunch break- total waste of my time. Locked up. No one there and no one to call - 1:20PM on Tuesday.

Excellent customer service Kyle was fantastic. The $20 fee is for convenience. When you buy food at a gas station you pay more than you would at Walmart, so think of it that way. It was nice to be in and out in under eight minutes.

I was waiting in line & the car ahead of me didnt have proof of insurance. I pulled right in & was able to get mt FJ inspected so I could go downtown to pick up my new personalized license plates! Yay!🚘

Went around the lunch hour on a weekday and they were closed with NO sign indicating that they would be back after lunch or closed for the day. Me and two behind me left and Im glad because I paid only the $7 for the inspection at a nearby oil change place instead of their charge.

Dont come here. The guy is rude and aggressive and told me he had to close early after I waited in line for a while. Dont give these jerks your money.

This location appears permanently closed. Went by today and it was locked-up. Business signs indicated that it should have been open. This location was usually pretty good - Ive been here many times along with the location on Austin Hwy (also closed). Now I have to find a new inspection station.

The man that works there tore my windshield wiper blades, he yanked on the rubber. I heard it tear. He still did this with me 15 from him. Very bold, disrespectful, and criminal.On the bright side he saw me watching him right after he tore through the rubber on my second wiper blade- so I passed the inspection and didn’t have to give him money for the evil deed he did.Does he get paid for selling wiper blades? I must not be the first person he did this to. Do they require background checks and drug tests to work here?Welcome to Texas.Edit: this occurred March 2019

Ive been coming to this place for years. I guess theyve closed. Today around 4PM al garage doors were closed and door was locked. No sign other than the hours (open Saturday till 6:00) and a phone number for more information. No one answered that number. Is it so hard to post a notice?

I don’t know how they have this business if they don’t even know the regulations and exceptions for Military Active Duty. I will request DOT and the BBS to conduct an investigation on this fraudulent business. The owner doesn’t even care to answer the reviews on this server!

This place is operated by a crook. My office is nearby so I drive by several times a day and he is rarely open. Sometimes hell be open and Ill drive by 15 min later and hes closed. I caught him one time when he was open and he told me Id have to buy his wipers because mine werent state approved.In my honest opinion this guy is a drug addict and the drug is wrecking his life and his job. He should get clean before working with the public again

Review №37

After waiting in line for 40 minutes I paid $18 to have my motorcycle inspected. I was never told or made aware that part of the inspection fee is OPTIONAL before charging it. If you feel like you are being ripped off in paying $18 to have some one tell you all your lights work, wait till you pay a second time for inspection fees when registering again.

This place is literally never open. Tried to stop by on my way home from work a couple of times and they were closed. Went today around 1PM and they were closed. I figured maybe they were on lunch and I had some errands to do in the area, so I left. Maybe an hour later, I headed back over and they were still closed. Super unreliable.

The shop is supposed to be open at 8:00 a.m. No one showed up after 1 hour wait. There were 4 other cars waiting in line. Do not use this place.

You worker told me he was on lunch so I left and went to the Valero. Watched your worker buy a tall boy, pour it into a Valero styrofoam cup and drive back to work. I dont want someone inspecting my car or moving my car while drinking on the job.

Not open. i stopped by at 10:00 today and the doors were closed. i drove to 3 other locations and they were all closed. the only one that was open was on heubner rd and they told me i couldnt use the insurance card that was on my ipad. I know this isnt true. Seems like this business doesnt want to be open.

They rip you off and practice deceptive trade. Inspection only cost 7 dollars and charge you 20. And give you a receipt for 7.
