Diagnostics & The New 2025 Texas Inspection Laws
While House Bill 3297 has eliminated mandatory annual safety inspections for personal vehicles as of January 1, 2025, maintaining your engine is more critical than ever. A well-running engine is still a legal requirement for road safety in Austin County, Sealy, and Brenham. Our computerized diagnostics ensure you stay ahead of repairs that could sideline your vehicle indefinitely.
Complete Your Service: An engine diagnostic is the perfect time to check your A/C System Health or ensure your tires are ready with a Professional Wheel Alignment. For businesses, we still provide mandatory Commercial Vehicle State Inspections.
