Virginia Official Auto Safety & Emission Testing Station

Aug 2023

Fast & efficient safety & emissions inspection! Another station told me it would be a 5 hour wait, this station took 30 min to inspect another car & mine. Highly recommend

Had a safety inspection performed; they were OPEN on a Sunday morning ! Much to my delight and performed the process REALLY quick (I hadn't even finished my conversation, with another employee before the inspection was completed) !

This is my go to place for inspections (they have failed me for things that I failed, BTW). I used to have a mechanic that I dealt with for 20 years for maintenance and he recently retired so I used them for struts, brakes, and tuneup of my wife's Rav4 V6 (bought new and they don't make a V6 Rav4 anymore so we're keeping it forever) and it was expensive (big job) but cheaper than what others wanted. The work was done well, the car drives like new, and their advice on my cars (during inspections) matched my mechanic's advice when he was around. I also used them for minor work on my car. They are my new mechanics unless it's something that they can't do (and then they tell you). They sent me to a tire place for new tires as they couldn't change the tires on my 18" rims. I've been going here for about 10 years for inspections and about 2 years for service.The building is old (and grimy, it's a shop), the people who work there are old school, there is no real waiting room, but they have been honest with me (they told me the struts would improve the ride but weren't necessary yet, and left the choice to us), do good work, have very fair prices, and treated my wife with respect. Not every shop (White manager and mechanic for the service) treats a shortish Black woman with respect, though of course they should.
