    I just found out that you people have done a very bad NO NO against the good people of Texas, moreover ME! I was billed $20.00 for something that should have only cost $7.00!!!! Services, Pass Inspection $0.00 1 $7.00 This is legal Services, OIS Service $0.00 1 $6.50 I did not receive services Services, Shop Fee $0.00 1 $6.50 For the glory of parking my car in your shop, OH HELL NO! I'm filing a complaint with the State of Texas-- moreover, I am and I AM going to seek a class action suit against you horrible people!!! All those good people that you scammed (in my opinion) should also receive a refund of $6.50 and $6.50 atotal of $13.00.  What you are doing is evil and wrong (in my opinion).  Now, of course, I only noticed this fee because of TxDVM bill wanted another $7.00 for my inspection! I used to pay $14.00 for inspection, this year I paid $27.50 With all due respect, I will not let this go! You will refund my money and all the other victims and if I have to hire a lawyer, I got the money! The people must be protected from scams.

    This tech is rude as all get out!!

    See all

    Although I did not pass my inspection since my tint was too dark (new state regulation), I was impressed with the quick, friendly and effortless professionalism.

    East Austin

    I have been brining my vehicles to Mario Inspections since 2016 for vehicle inspections and now…read moreemissions testing. During that time I have found Mario and his staff to be efficient, honest and helpful. Over the years, Mario and his team have been efficient, honest, helpful and reasonably priced. It's an old fashion business that has earned the loyalty of its customer base thru consistently doing things right. The COVID Online appointments (which the introvert in me loved!) are gone but you can usually get in and out in a reasonable amount of time. Be warned that if you come in during peak times or at the end of the month prepare for wait times to be longer. I came for an inspection after a hail storm in 2023 and did not realize the turn signal housing/casing was broken. I was able to replace it myself and return the same day to pass the inspection. Now that they can only do emissions testing they wisely became a full service repair shop so, I also got an oil change. Richard told me about a rebate that saved me some money in the long run. If you are looking for solid service with no fluff, and want to continue to support a long time East Austin business, Mario Inspections is what you are looking for. Pro Tips: If you are looking for a lux experience keep it moving. If you want it done fair and right, you are in the right place. Walk-in and drop off if you can't wait. Bring a book, water, headphones, a fan, a hat, grab a chair and enjoy the nice weather while waiting outside. FYI: This location has a small waiting room with cold AC and a restroom.

    Careful going here if you're a woman. I went there for my car inspection and to get my tail light…read morereplaced. I first dealt with natalie who was lovely and the printer broke so I was there for longer than expected but she was so organized and said she'd waive the convenience fee so I didn't mind. CUT TO I had her dad Mario check me out and he added 15$ on the original price (she said $30 if it was under an hour and 45 if over) he said took 20 minutes and I argued with him but he was like wah wah that's too cheap. I can see why he has his daughter on the customer service because he likes to take advantage of women. Sucks because the experience started out good. I was excited to see a woman working but I guess it's only good if she's there.
