Emissions testing service near Missouri City, TX

After exhausting our local options we put the discovery 1 on a trailer and took it here. Most reviews were good so we thought we were lucky to find one only 5 hours away. We were mistaken. Maybe for maintenance work they would be ok, but to actually diagnose and fix the problem, I would never recommend them. The first time they had it for 2 weeks and $1100 later we had a tuneup, an ignition coil, new ground wire and spark plugs.... and a vehicle that still couldn't make it out of the parking lot. So keys in overnight slot again and it stayed for another 2 weeks. Both times my husband was told it was running well and they had been driving it around. Amazingly after one month and all the "driving" they did, we had 2 miles put on the truck and it still wouldn't get out of the parking lot. All of the things we had already replaced they replaced again... (ignition coil, oxygen sensor...) and wanted to keep it longer since they thought it was the mass air flow (had 2 sitting in the truck since we already went that route) and kept telling my husband the catalytic converters were blocked (3 months old... and would blow leaves across a parking lot). 2 days after trailering it home (another 5 hour trip there and 5 hours back) my husband talked online to a landrover owner who had similar issues. After checking the crankshaft sensor (as suggested) he discovered the 2 wires to/from the sensor were melted together. After fixing that problem it still "missed". So he went to look at the crank position ring and discovered a tine bent over. Because of this the sensor couldn't see it and was missing. After gently bumping the tine back up into place the sensor saw it and the missing stopped. It is running smoothly and perfectly. Now he just has to figure out why, after they rewired it, the front windows wont roll up or down, and the front sunroof won't either. I am not saying these people didnt want to fix it, I am saying that they should admit when they don't know and quit being parts replacers instead of mechanics. Also their master mechanic never seemed to be around, which makes me wonder if he was would it actually have gotten fixed. If you need a tune up, then this really doesn't apply to you but if you need a problem diagnosed you might want to think before sending it here. $2000 later and still not running any different when you pick it up, you have to ask if it is really worth it.

Service done on time, great prize nice guy this Fernando.

My vehicle had misfire code, I took it in they repaired it and it was fine for a while but then I had the same issue just over a week ago I took it back they said it was a faulty coil. They warranted the work but, the check engine light is on again and it’s the same issue!!! This place was recommended to me so that’s why I went but I live about 45 min away and I’m afraid my vehicle will not make it.

We brought our 2020 Camry in for inspection. We gave him the keys and the insurance card. We were standing outside waiting when he said “Stop staring, I am not going to do anything to your car.” This was odd. My wife and I were talking as we glanced over again. He then says “If you don’t stop watching, then I am going to stop and you can take it somewhere else.” Not even a minute later he says “you can take it somewhere else”. I said “we are just trying to get the inspection done”. He said “my internet is down, I can’t do it”. This guy is a nut. I would advise you to avoid him.

Dishonest people,they will find something wrong that does not require fixing to get inspection sticker. I was told my power steering fluid was bad as well as the brake fluid, none of this is needed to inspect vehicle.

On the star rating you have to give one or else I'd give negative four! Do not use this shop. They had my car three times for A/C service the same problem. and never did fix it correctley. I had to end up taking it to another shop who did fix it, return the parts to this shop and end up paying a large labor charge for nothing but major inconvenience. I cannot really overstate how much this end up costing me in money, suffering through a heat wave with A/C not working. As well as attitude from the owner over giving me a refund for the parts as well as asking for parts back that he did not even put on. Again do not deal with these people.

ENIOR CITIZEN RIP-OFF. They told us the car needed repair before it could get an auto inspection. Being Senior Citizens, we told them we could not afford to have the car repaired for two months and we would bring it back for inspection after that. The man said we still had to pay for the inspection that day - and we have never, never, had to pay for an inspection if our car needed repairs. But he assured us that we would not have to pay again, just this one time. However, when we took our car back two months later, as we told him, we were told we would have to pay a second time, that we should have had it repaired in 10 days. We reminded him of what we were told and he still insisted on a second payment. Lying for money is not acceptable, especially to Senior Citizens who have to carefully pay for anything.

The workers in there were so slow it took 3hours to fix brake caliper and brake caliper holder screw I was so mad the 1st to get there the last to get out!!!!!

Scammers! They are cutting corners and you don t know it! He quoted me a price to fix my catalytic converter. When the car was ready he claimed the O2 sensor was also bad and replaced it without calling first! (I still don t believe him because there is a different code for failing O2 sensors. He was just trying to get more money off me.) That added almosts another $200! He said he would do an oil change for free, but he put regular oil in it instead of the synthetic that I always use. I told them not to do anything else to my car. I took it to another place immediately to change the oil AGAIN. They told me the work had not been done properly and that they didn t replace the oil filter when they replaced the oil...that I need to take the car somewhere else to have the work cleaned up. (incorrect bolts and seals) Don t use these people if you want to actually get the work you are paying for!!!

The technician broke off my gas cap and preceded to tell me "it was damaged before I arrived." My gas cap was fully connected to my car before I arrived. He broke it and was rude and unprofessional. Horrible, horrible service! Is it unreasonable to expect your car to leave inspection in the same condition that it entered inspection? Do not get your car inspected here because when they damage your car they will not take responsibility!

11-18 -19 My car over heated. Stan, who is a lair and a cheat, told me it was a thermostat. So I greed to have them fix it. Then Stan called claiming the water pump was bad and it is easier to replace the timing belt at this time so I agreed. While they changed the timing belt they mistimed the engine and destroyed it. They bought a replacement engine a “ salvaged” long block. No telling how many mile is on it! I asked that they put the parts I paid for on the salvaged engine. Almost ONE month later, 12-16-19 after repeated calls made by me I was able to pick up my car. I presented the rental car bill and Stan, who is a lair and a cheat said the owner will send me a check, but my car broke after 10 minutes of driving. They tried to claimed it was the exhaust not the engine but eventually cleared the problem. I asked Stan who is a lair and a cheat, if the new parts are on my car and he said no, but I’m going to warranty it for 3yrs 36k miles prorated. Next morning the engine light came on so I took it to the dealer it was there for 3 days while repairing the wiring and sensors that weren’t wired correctly and install missing bolts on the engine! To date my car has still overheated 2X I have exhaust fumes in the cab and most importantly I have not been reimbursed for the rental car and don’t have the parts I paid for.
