Fastest, most efficient, and cheapest auto inspection I've ever had. Seriously had no idea it could be this reasonable and easy. I would gladly drive at least 20 minutes out of my way to get my inspection done here every time. read more

Emissions test? Don't even have to get out of the car here. The gentleman was taking care of two cars simultaneously, but I was out of there in 9 minutes. $11.50 but would have been 3.5% less if I'd paid with cash. Proud to be in a county that still requires emissions tests. I grew up in a city that was extremely polluted. Believe me... You don't want this to happen to your community. read more

Excellent service, drove through and done in 10 minutes without exiting car or AC. Highly recommend!

I been here twice in the past week for both of my vehicles to get inspected. And I always get the same consistent result here - quick and friendly no nonsense service. On this day there were 4 cars waiting but the one guy working is a multitasker and had 2 bays filled up to make it more efficient. I was to there in just a few minutes and greeted with a hello and let me see your car insurance please. Very quick here, and I am out in less than 7 minutes. They are very nice and professional here too, and it is my go-to for the car state inspections. They also do it on Saturdays too which is great! read more

I went back to get my emissions test for 2026, and the process was just as quick and simple as it was before ( now only $11.50). This is truly the only place in Austin I will go to get everything ready for my vehicle registration. I didn't even have to get out of my car since it's a drive through. Thanks again y'all!! read more

I didn't know I needed a drive-through emissions test until I learned about Koenig Lane Automotive! There was no wait on a Tuesday afternoon, and I was in and out in 5 minutes for the standard emissions test price. Highly recommend. read more

Super fast inspections. I been going here for years. I won't go any other place for inspections.

The Good: :: they are a local business! :: they are VERY efficient and fast with their vehicle inspections. LOVE it. no crazy queues...you're in and out quickly. have not had to wait more than 10 minutes or so :: they take credit cards for payment :: they inspect cars and motorcycles :: THEY ARE OPEN ON SATURDAY FOR INSPECTION!!!! this is huge...many other places aren't open on Saturday for inspections, and if they are, the queues are just insane (easily have waited an hour at other places) :: guy who does the inspections is very friendly The Bad: :: none The Ugly: :: none Would I go back? 10000% yes. Finding a place open on the weekend that is also extremely efficient at their jobs is like winning the lottery. This place is IN read more

I have several cars and I have been coming here for a few years and only now am I finally writing a review. This place has always been consistent in their inspections, although I have not actually used their automotive repair services. This is basically a three in one business where you can get your car inspected, repaired, or detailed. I was told that the automotive shop does not repair foreign cars like BMWs or Mercedes, but primarily just American cars, but there is a shop nearby that does. It's always fast and friendly service here, however you might want to avoid the lunchtime rush. read more

Koenig Lane Automotive - Signage from Koenig - Auto Repair Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is my new favorite place for inspections. Shout out to Javier for always being excellent at his job! I'm not going to name names, but the two closest inspection spots to my house have given me issues. Both have rude staff. One likes to fail you for minor issues like a wiper blade needing to be replaced soon and oh wow they sell one for $40 so they can pass you. The other was ok but started charging to pay with a credit card and on top of the rudeness that was the last straw. I've been to Koenig Lane a handful of times and have yet to have an issue. All of my vehicles have passed inspection as they should, and the guy doing the inspection is always polite and courteous which is a nice change. They might be a few more minutes drive but I'll continue to come here. I've heard they do get busy but I've been lucky in that I've not had to wait too long each time I've gone. read more

When I say my inspection was done in less than five minutes, that's not an exaggeration. Wow! Even at 3:30 pm in the middle of the week! In and out. Best 11.50 I ever spent read more

Hector was amazing- my car had several repair needs that were overwhelming to get priced. Hector did excellent work and even ensured that the parts he placed were working well and let me know when one part ordered wasn't to their satisfaction. After getting my spark plugs replaced, my transmission began to act up and he took it in short notice to get it checked out and I'm grateful for such excellent expertise and care for my car. read more

Absolute go to for inspections. It was my first time going to Koenig Lane Automotive and went at about 4:00pm on a Tuesday. Checked google to see how busy it was and looked like it wasn't. Was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Attendant was very nice and quick. Looked like they had wiper blades for sale if needed for the test. Cost: $7 for Inspection fee and $11.50 for emissions test fee so total was $18.50. They do take credit cards. I'll happily pay that for a super quick and efficient inspection. 10/10 will go again. read more

Came to get my inspection done today and Senastian was super helpful and i was out in no time! Highly recommend this location with great prices great service read more

I came here for a state inspection. There were 3 people ahead of me but it took less than 30 minutes. It costed $18.50 for safety and emissions fee. I'm happy with how easy that was! read more

Amazing customer service. My engine light was on & they did a search. They fixed a minor thing that was making the engine light go off & didn't even charge me for their time because it was so small. Will definitely go back! read more

This was literally the best experience hands down for getting a vehicle safety inspection. Last year I went to another business nearby that took 1 HOUR from the time I stepped out of the car to the time I got it back. This took less than FIVE MINUTES....I was incredulous in the best way possible. The guy working here was incredibly friendly and kind. My safety registration showed up online the same day. Don't bother doubting - go here! read more

If I could give this place more stars, I definitely would! This place is the best! As a college student in the midst of finals who commutes to campus and needs a car daily, I was stressed when my engine check light turned on. As someone with little knowledge of cars, I did not know how serious this was and felt that it was better to be safe than sorry. I had gone to another place initially, but due to miscommunication on their part and no availability, I had a bad experience and took my business elsewhere. I decided to come to Koenig Lane Automotive and I am absolutely so glad that I did! As soon as I pulled in looking a little lost on where to park, Hector (who I had spoken to on the phone right before going) came up and helped me immediately. He offered to drive me back to campus so I could leave my car with the shop. We had a nice conversation during the drive and after roughly 2 hours after dropping my car off, Hector called me and told me that it was a simple issue of my gas lid/cap not being on correctly. He helped me turn the light off as the gas lid/cap was now on correctly and I am so grateful to him. That said, I would definitely recommend this place! They are hard-working people and were honest to someone like me who does not have much knowledge of cars! Additionally, they were extremely fast and provided me with a wonderful experience! read more

I hate getting my car inspected because it usually takes forever. I was in and out here in 15 minutes. Definitely recommend.

Found this place years ago! The best in service for State Inspection! Pleasant wait area. And they are usually quick.

My husband recommended Koenig Lane for my car inspection. I was so pleased with their service. It was quick and very efficient. They are super friendly and I will not go anywhere else! read more

Went to Koenig Lane Automotive because my usual spot was slammed and I had delayed getting my inspection done. Pulled right in and was promptly taken in and the inspection was completed. Unfortunately my car didn't pass because I had just replaced the battery and some of the internal systems (Evap) were not reset and coding as "Not Ready". Fortunately, they said I had a 15 day window to come back and have it re-inspected for free. They even gave me some tips on getting the statuses to reset - drive about 100 miles and make sure half of that is at high speeds on highways so the engine can get hot enough. Did that and came back a few days later and they passed me and gave me the updated paperwork. Highly recommend! read more

Very fast and friendly. I got my paperwork (2013 Corolla) and I was gone. The inspection station is separate from the repair service.

This is quite possibly the best car inspection experience I've ever had! I was only there for about 10 mins and they were super efficient and kind. Would highly recommend. read more

I came here for an inspection, and they were very friendly and efficient! Was in and out within 10-15 minutes!

Went in for State Inspection of my 2 electric vehicles. No wait. super fast and great attention. Would recommend!

That's what I'm talking about!! Car inspection complete in less than 10mins! I work until at least 5pm, so when a business says they're open until 6pm, I need them to be open UNTIL 6pm. I went to one popular inspection spot who advertises being open until 6pm, but they were closed when I arrived at 5:25pm. Slightly frustrated, I checked Yelp and found this 5 star spot. 5 stars well deserved!! I pulled up and was assisted right away, and spent only minutes in the waiting area before being called for checkout. Fast, friendly and reliable! Thanks guys, I'll be back. read more

Love this place. Always so prompt and professional. I don't live near here anymore but still drive all the way here just because I like them so much! read more

Was able to get an oil change and state inspection in under 45 minutes, even though they seemed pretty busy. Everyone was very friendly and the oil changes are reasonably priced. I paid ~$57 for synthetic oil, filter change, and they also checked my basic fluid levels and tire pressure. read more

Had been waiting in the JiffyLube line for awhile and decided to call Koenig Auto. They took my car right away for an oil change. Quality of service was exceptional, staff was very friendly and I wound up paying almost $30 less. Great experience, will be there for all future services. Thank you read more

Inspection AND oil change in about 20min's. Synthetic oil change was VERY reasonably priced. Both gentlemen were extremely nice, and obviously efficient. This will be my new go-to for my car's servicing! read more

Super fast inspections, and they were also very nice because when I first showed up I was quite confused and they immediately helped me out. Went on a Wednesday morning and they had me out in 15 minutes. read more

Super quick for inspection! In and out in 15! Great service! The employees were nice and friendly as well.

I went to get my Texas vehicle inspection! Quick easy and efficient I will definitely be coming back here in the future

They completed my car inspection in about 5 minutes - talk about speedy! I came in around 4:30pm on a weekday and was immediately helped. Great service, I'll be back next time. read more

This guy installed the wrong type of fuel pump and I had to bring it back 4 times because the check engine light kept coming on. He refused to use a Ford fuel pump and continually insisted on using a crap pump from O'Reillys. He treated my truck like an experiment and kept saying "I'll install another O'Reilly fuel pump and we'll see what happens. If it doesn't work, just bring it in again." - who the hell has time for that?? Eventually I had to consider this a sunk cost and went to another mechanic who installed the correct fuel pump. Haven't had a problem since. Lesson learned: use a mechanic that you can trust rather than bring your car here. You'll just spend more in the long run. read more

Brought my car in for them to run some tests and tell me what part I needed to replace. I usually do all the work on my car myself and the only reason I brought it in is because I did not have the equipment to run the tests that would tell me what the issue is. Long story short, they charged me $70 after making me wait for hours to tell me what the issue was. I made the repair but my car was still having the same issue. I brought it back in and they told me that they didn't have the equipment to be able to say what was wrong with the car. They refused to give me a refund because they told me something that was wrong with the car, even if it wasn't what I came in for. Very disappointed that both my time and money was wasted here. read more

The owner, Hector, is soft spoken, modest, and helpful. He changed the oil in my 2013 Accord in 7 minutes for $28, which is half the dealer's price. He also recommended that I buy a new $39 AC relay, direct from the dealer, and offered to install it for me at no charge, since my compressor comes on every 10 seconds, and he said this could wear out the compressor. But the dealer confirmed this is a normal behavior when I have the thermostat set to 73 degrees, and tested my relay (switching it out with horn relay) to confirm it works. I appreciate that Hector was looking out for me, though. read more
