Marios Inspections

I have had my car, my bosses vehicles and our company vehicle here for inspections and every time I have had top notch customer service. I have been in and out quickly and the one time that it was going to take a while Mario let me know and I chose to drop my car off and come back.
They are now offering detailing for all vehicles. I had the company car and my bosses truck done. He offers different types from just an outside wash, light cleaning inside or completely detailed with shampooed carpets and such. I have never seen a better detail job than I received on two vehicles here. It is inexpensive too considering the quality and how much you pay elsewhere for a job done half as well. If you want to get this service all ahead and make an appointment but, he got me in the next day on one and that day on another. It took about 4 or 5 hours.
I love when you find a place that has such friendly workers.

Mario’s is fantastic! I would give him 5 stars twice if I could! Mario helped me understand what was wrong with my first inspection and gave me a few tips on where I could order parts. I fixed the issue simply and my car was able to pass. All the people I met working there were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. He’s got a TV and free wifi. Didn’t have to wait long either.

Got that inspection done late on a Saturday evening. Both Mario & the receptionist were cordial and prompt.
They got me in and out of there quickly. Even when it was a busy (closing) time. In these days of instant gratification (i want my inspection done in 10 sec, ha) these folks came through.
Well done, a very Austin-​y business on the Eastside.

Inconsiderate business practices. Better off taking it else where. This man seems jaded and is only looking out for himself and not his customers. The car wash on 38^th and Guadalupe is great for inspections cause you get a free car wash with fast friendly service. Groovy has been good to me as well.

Mario’s is great. I got both my motorcyle and car inspected here. He was quick, efficient, and friendly.
I’d even been at the grocery store beforehand and he let me leave stuff in the ‘fridge while I waited.
I’ll be coming back for sure.

Getting an overdue inspection at Mario’s Inspection was as enjoyable as a car inspection could be. I have an old car that has some difficulties getting through inspections. When Mario finished the inspection, he said I needed to fix the windshield wipers and the front lights were out. He offered to change the windshield wipers at a reasonable cost (about $ 7 a blade).
I have had similar issues with my front lights at other shops because they do not have a manual switch, they come on automatically. He said if I got it fixed and showed him he would pass the car. I explained to him, how they were automatic and only came on when a sensor did not sense daylight and when the car was not in park. He took another look, tested it again, and passed the car. Mario was patient, kind, and did a wonderful job of listening to my comments.

Thought a place that had inspections in the name would be fast. Two hour wait for an inspection after I was told it would be an hour… after I paid. The only reason I have two stars was the sincere apology from the owner when it was all done.
*Mario, your acknowledging and improving your system means a lot to me. I will not hesitate to refer your business. Four stars, customer service is spot on.

Great service and really quick! Mario is a super friendly guy and does great business. I recommend doing your inspection here!

Mario’s inspections was a great place to take my car to get inspected. Mario was very profesional, fast and clean. I highly recommend him.
Thanks!

I got my early 90’s Volvo smogged here and it was quick and easy to get in. The car passed so it was uneventful. Nice people, will definitely be back next time I need an inspection.

Mario goes above and beyond for his customers. It’s a quality in a business owner that is few and far between now. Thank you Mario!

Had a great experience going to get my car inspection. It was quick and painless. I felt really comfortable going there. Inside it’s clean, free Wi-​Fi, & TV while you wait. But the wait was only like 10 mins till my car was done. They are super friendly. Will definitely be going back next year.

Came here on a Saturday morning and it was not quite as busy if you can get there right when they open at 9am. This business is owned by a very nice couple. Did you know they also sell hunting and fishing licenses?! Mario is friendly and nice. The service is fairly fast and they accept credit cards. It’s nice that there is an indoor waiting area and also a table outside to wait. I recommend this place over others!

Great business. Have taken multiple cars to do inspections here. Very fast service. Mario is very friendly and always willing to help out. My car once blew a fuse for the lights as soon as I got there and he happily gave me one for free. He cares about his business and it shows.

Been getting my inspection do w here for so. e years
, always fast and easy these guys are great

My car mechanic recommended this place. They were so kind, incredible costumer service! I just changed insurance companies and had not printed out the new documents… or logged on to the new insurance company site. When I realized I could not register on my phone they kindly let me use there computer to pull up my account to show my registration. It was a wonderful experience going there. I highly recommend this place! They are very friendly and generally seem to be great people. I will return when its time for another inspection!

Just got back from my yearly inspection at Marios. Were two people in front of me, no biggie, took around 30 minutes to get the inspection started. 15 minutes later and I was on my way. There is a TV with old western movies playing, who doesn’t like those? No free wifi that I saw this time (I seem to remember it from last), but that’s ok I can use a bit of cellular data. See ya next year! (or actually in a few months for my other vehicle) :) P. S. I saw my previous Unilocal review on the wall! wahooo!

I drove up and was immediately greeted, didn’t even have to walk inside! They got right to work on my inspection while I chatted inside in the air conditioning with Mario, who is one of the friendliest guys around! Before I knew it the inspection was done and I was on my way! I highly recommend this place to everyone when inspection time rolls around. I will be back! Thanks Mario and Frank!

Easy no hassle inspection for my motorcycle. In and out without trying to tell me he needed to ride it to inspect it.

Nice guys. Went to get my truck inspected. Didnt pass initially but they informed of some quick fixes and got me in and out a couple of days later no problem. Some places will offer a higher bill to pass and I respect their integrity. Definitely will take my other vehicles here for quick inspections.
