    Excellent customer service. Nice facility. Clean waiting area. Simple process. Drop off your keys and registration and you're good to go. Our vehicle had recently been repaired so the repair threw a code and prevented us from getting our car inspection until we had driven the car for about 65 miles to ensure we hadn't just unplugged the battery. We couldn't get our inspection done that day but I still give them 5 stars cause I've been there before and they really are a very good reliable inspection station. They're located in Pineville NC and open Monday thru Saturday. Also worth noting is they're open Saturdays until 2pm. Always efficient and very friendly customer service. Two thumbs way up .

    As the name implies, Only Inspections does just vehicle inspections for trucks and cars. The staff is very friendly and informative when it comes explaining everything you need to know. The way it works is first come first serves and you wait in the lobby or outside there is seating while the inspectâmes place. The vehicle inspection only takes about 15 minutes but the wait time you experience is due to other people who are in front of you. So, to clarify there is no option for appointments which I understand and they do try to get you in and out as soon as possible. My wait time was about 20 minutes which isn't bad during lunch time. I don't know what the best time is to come in for the shortest wait time, yet it's also convenient because you can stop by when you have time. I would recommend for those that need an inspection in a hurry or just want an inspection and not be up sold on unnecessary services.

    Don't blink or you'll miss it!

    For 364 days a year I don't even think about this inconspicuous little white building off of Polk St in Pineville, but that one day a year when my auto inspections are required, I'm their biggest fan. This year I arrived at 9:00AM on a Friday and they got me in and out in 12 minutes! When I left, there were six people waiting. The staff has always been friendly and efficient. The waiting area is not the most artistically appealing but when you're in and out so quickly who really cares? (Not me, their #1 fan!)

    Just left there and my car was inspected quickly and no hidden costs. The staff was efficient and quick and that's all I can ask.

    The fastest I've ever gotten my car inspected - clean facility and friendly people. I doubt I'll ever go anywhere else. Thanks!

    Awful experience. Grumpy. Took forever. Not sure how hard it is to perform an inspect. Go anywhere else.

    I was in town to visit my 87 year old mom and she mentioned that her car registration and smog check were due.

    Editing this as the owner of Clements automotive In Belmont NC said, to my bad review , "we built a…read morereputation on honesty." but if you look at their website, you will see there are many people who are dissatisfied and he did not make good on my air-conditioning job as he stated in another review that he stands behind his work . He just basically said we don't have to worry about this one anymore. Bad attitude . Here's the absolute truth of what happened .. let me also add I am an exemplary citizen. I work as a F/A for American Airlines going on 30 years . A very fair person and do my best to treat everyone with respect and kindness every day. .. Took my Honda accord to get AC working. Blower worked fine but needed charged . When I picked it up, it seemed to still blow warm air but thought it needed a few minutes to get cool so I drove it home in about 4 minutes. Should have went right back but I honestly thought it needed a couple minutes to get cool and I was very close to my house. I parked the car . Then I Drove it THREE days later & it blew complete hot air . I told owner about it and he did nothing for me . (even though he states that they stand behind their work .) He said with an uncaring tone, "They can blow at any time. "Really? Drive the car home in a few minutes while it's already blowing warm air and three days later it doesn't work and it blew??? You think so? I paid several hundred dollars to have this fixed. I asked several people and they said you did something wrong. I asked several people and they said you should've made it right. I still have no air condition.. He messed up and did not take accountability and responsibility . I paid several hundred dollars. I don't even know what this dishonest person did for that much money. He certainly did not change the air cabin filter either.. I'll enclose a pic. I've been so angry. I'm only now posting about it , as I'm not a complainer but he totally ripped me off. I was going to get my oil changed there recently , but it did not sit right with me to go back and give them my business and then this all came to surface again . I could hear my dad in heaven, telling me not to go to that person . I decided to tell the truth online because it's 100% true no matter what he says . People know deep inside when they aren't doing you right . There's no way that air air-conditioning was fixed . He took my money. These people do not treat others fairly. You may get a good experience here and there, but he completely ripped me off and he knows it. Also, another huge thing, he did not lock my car when I left it there & a homeless person was in my car found rooting around on his security cameras. They called me. How horrible. Police were involved. They can't even lock people's cars at night??? His answering machine is very rude as well . He tells you not to keep calling back in a rude, impatient disgusted tone. Call and listen, Although he may change it . They did not do me any service whatsoever and stole my money by not fixing my air-conditioning. Who treats a client this way? I should have been more insistent because I know that I was correct and that he was wrong, but I left because I'm not a fighter, but guess what ??My anger and his disservice finally popped out and I'm tired of it sitting on it . So here is my response now. I got ripped off because he is dishonest and I'm patient and kind. He is dishonest. Sir, you will get yours in the end. Please stand for me and Go to J&J Auto on Beaty Dr. You'll be treated politely, better communication and better price. Everything I wrote is 100% true. If I were in court. I would raise my right hand and put my left hand on the Bible to what I just wrote. ( I just read a review from a few years ago . The owner responded and he said they stand behind everything they do, but he did not stand behind my air-conditioning job so he is a liar as well. ) He truly owes me an air-conditioning job.

    Always great, honest service . The only issue is just getting an appointment because they stay so…read morebusy!
