INSPECTIONS AND EMISSIONS

Know More About Texas Vehicle Inspections

Many states in the United States authorize periodic vehicle safety and emission inspection. In the State of Texas, vehicles must pass an annual safety and emissions inspection. Passing these tests will allow you to legally drive on Texas state roads.

If you’re driving a Texas-registered vehicle, then you are required to get an annual inspection. However, some vehicles are required to have an emissions test too, aside from the safety inspection before receiving a vehicle inspection report.

Is Your Vehicle Required To Have The Emissions Test?

Emissions refer to the harmful gasses that your car or truck releases into the environment. A vehicle emissions test is used to test your vehicle’s emissions to ensure your car or truck isn’t smogging up the air quality and causing air pollution. The following criteria are required to take the emissions test:

  • Gasoline-powered vehiclesTake note motorcycles and diesel-powered vehicles are exempt from emissions testing. However, these vehicles are still required to have safety inspection once a year.
  • Vehicles aged 2 through 24 years old
  • A vehicle must also take the test upon the expiration of the 2-year initial inspection sticker.

Keep in mind your state vehicle inspection and emissions test. Think about it this way, these tests are a good opportunity to discover and fix any car or truck problems you may not be aware of. This will save you from bigger auto problems that could lead to costly repair bills or an inoperable vehicle.

Anytime I need any kind of work done on my car or my wife’s car, I always go here. Adam and his team do an absolutely phenomenal job. I don’t even live near by but I always feel like I’m in good hands bringing my car here. They always give the best customer service. Keep me posted about everything. When I need to leave my car there a few days, I get a call everyday just so they can keep me updated on the progress. Even after everything is done and I picked up my car, I get a call later on in the day to make sure I’m satisfied. Like I said, the best customer service and best work. My car always runs like a champ after I pick it up from this shop. E1 Auto is the most honest, hardworking mechanic shop that I’ve ever been to. Thank you guys for always providing excellent service!

Excellent Service!!! From the first phone call to the completion of work on my car. Chris was very helpful and so were all the guys working. They educated me on things I was unaware of about my vehicle and completed all work neatly, efficiently and for a reasonable price. I have finally found a great mechanic that I trust. Go check them out.

I cannot say enough good things about this shop. I do all my own work and don't trust other shops to touch my car. I had an electrical issue with my Pontiac that caused a no start condition and left me stranded. I brought it here and they spent a lot of time tracking it down and ultimately got it fixed(bad ignition harness). Andres, Ernest, and Chris were very patient with me and spent a lot of the time on the phone running through diagnostics. I can honeslty say I trust these guys and I will be taking my cars back here from now on if I ever have an issue I can't solve.
