I recently moved to Texas from another state and I needed to get a Texas inspection in order to change my tags/title over. I went to this place because it was right off the interstate and pretty convenient. First of all, when I pulled up the group of ""mechanics"" working there were all inside watching TV and the one who managed to wander his lazy ass out to see what I needed seemed particularly annoyed that I decided to bring them business.
The first thing he told me was that I had to make sure my insurance met Texas standards for the amount of liability coverage and it didn't say it on the card I had. So, I called my insurance company and had it verified that it was up to Texas standards. After that, this moron told me that my insurance company had to be based in Texas in order to qualify for an inspection and mine was based in Pennsylvania, so he couldn't do it. I told him that was absolutely not true because major insurance companies, like Geico or Progressive, are headquartered in state's other than Texas, and there's no way I'm going to believe that no one in Texas has one of their policies. He got pretty annoyed when I pointed out his BS, and then told me it was ""company policy"" for them not to do any out-of-state inspections. He then proceeded to waddle back inside and join his fellow, lazy ass comrades for an afternoon of watching TV, evidently oblivious to the fact that they are running a (sh*tty) business.
I will not patronize these idiots again, and I encourage no one else to either.
