Fast, Friendly, and State-Certified

At Express Lube & Car Care in Haltom City, we’re proud to be an Official Texas State Vehicle Inspection Station, serving our local community with reliable, no-hassle inspections to keep you safe and legal on the road. In Texas, it’s not just good practice to have your vehicle inspected annually-it’s the law.

Our trained and certified technicians follow all state guidelines set by the Texas Department of Public Safety to ensure your vehicle meets every safety and emissions requirement. Whether you’re due for your annual inspection or you’re new to Texas, we’ve got you covered.

What to Expect During Your State Inspection

Most inspections take about 30 minutes, depending on how busy we are when you arrive. While you wait, enjoy a fresh cup of coffee in our clean, comfortable waiting area-we believe in making your experience smooth from start to finish.

The Texas State Inspection includes a thorough review of your vehicle’s roadworthiness, including:

✔️ Physical Safety Inspection

We check the essential components that impact your vehicle’s performance and safety, such as:

• Horn

• Wiper blades

• Mirrors

• Seat belts

• Brakes

• Tires

• Steering system

• Window tint compliance

• Lights: headlamps, tail lamps, stop lamps, turn signals, license plate lights

• Exhaust system and emissions equipment

• Gas cap integrity

• Rear red reflectors

• Beam indicator (high beam dash light)

✔️ Emissions Check

Depending on your vehicle’s age and your county, an emissions test may be required to ensure your vehicle meets state environmental standards. This step is vital to keeping our Texas air clean.

✔️ Operational Testing (if applicable)

Our inspectors verify that your car starts, stops, and runs as expected under basic operational standards. If your vehicle is in poor condition, further repairs may be recommended before it can pass.

Don’t Forget: Bring Proof of Insurance

A valid insurance card must be presented before we can legally perform your vehicle inspection. Be sure to bring it with you to avoid delays.

One Sticker, Zero Hassle

As part of Texas’ “Two Steps, One Sticker” program, your registration and inspection are now combined into one sticker on your windshield. Once your inspection is complete, you’ll be ready for registration renewal.

What If Your Vehicle Fails the Inspection?

If something doesn’t pass, don’t worry-retesting is free within 15 days. Our inspector will let you know what failed and why. If the issue is minor, you may be able to fix it yourself. If it’s more complex, our skilled technicians can help diagnose the issue and recommend a repair plan-with your approval, of course.

We’re here to make the process easy and transparent-no surprises, just straightforward service.
