Most Common Inspection Failures

Impaired or Non-Functional Windshield Wipers

When your windshield wipers are damaged or not working correctly, our technicians will promptly inspect and replace them with high-quality alternatives. This ensures clear visibility during rainy or adverse weather conditions.

Service Indicators or Check Engine Lights

If the service indicators or check engine lights are on, our technicians will conduct a comprehensive diagnostic scan. Once they identify the underlying issue, they will expertly address it to restore your vehicle’s optimal performance.

Defective or Burned-out Headlights or Tail Lights

For damaged or burned-out headlights or tail lights, our technicians will replace them with top-grade bulbs. This guarantees proper illumination, enhances safety on the road, and ensures that you will meet inspection requirements.

Parking Brake Malfunctions

When facing parking brake malfunctions, our technicians will perform a thorough inspection to identify the root cause. They will then skillfully repair or adjust the parking brake mechanism to ensure it functions securely and effectively.

Tires Showing Wear or Tread Depletion

In the case of tires displaying wear or tread depletion, our technicians will assess their condition and recommend suitable replacements. It’s our goal to ensure optimal traction and driving performance.

Excessively Dark Window Tint

With overly dark window tint, our technicians will assist you in finding a compliant replacement. We ensure your window tint adheres to all local regulations. Not only will this promote safe driving but will meet the standards for Texas inspection.
