You are required to have a state inspection performed on your vehicle if you are planning on registering it in the state of Texas. We can perform this state inspection and provide you with the needed paper work to register your vehicle. You will need to show proof of insurance at the time of the inspection.
If you are looking to purchase a used car and would like to know what condition the vehicle is in before you invest your money in it. We offer a bumper to bumper inspection. The technician will spend an hour assessing the condition of the vehicle. We will give you written estimate on any repairs or services the vehicle will need and prioritize the repairs for you. This will help you decide if this is the right vehicle for you.
The technical requirements for the HPDE are just common sense checks to make sure your vehicle is in good, safe working order. It is important for you to check out your car before trying to get it inspected. You and the shop only want to do it once per event. Here I will go over the different categories of the technical form with some short explanations.
Maintaining proper alignment is fundamental to preserving both your car's safety and its tread life. Wheel alignments ensure that all four wheels are consistent with each other and are optimized for maximum contact with the surface of the road. The way a wheel is oriented on your car is broken down to three major components; camber, caster, and toe.

They've been the mechanics our family use for approaching 20 years now. They're fast, efficient, friendly, and honest. They usually come in under time and under budget. I can't recommend them nearly enough.

First time bringing my truck here and I originally brought it in because my engine would stall with the ac on in park and drive. Ten minutes after dropping it off they crash it on a test drive. Then Mike calls me three hours later to let me know saying he had good news and bad news. I'm 17 and my parents used to go here all the time. Not a very good situation to be in already and I'm just really disappointed on how they handled it, losing two headlight bolts, new bumper doesn't sit level, scratched the newly painted piece when putting the headlights back in.

Terrible place to go to and Mike seemed so unphased by my truck wrecked, tried to make it seem normal it took 3 hours to call to let me know, who knows what they were doing in that time.

I've taken my Miata to Auto Spec for around 8 years, and they've been nothing but great through numerous repairs and maintenance. Just recently had a new top installed, and to my delight, they also fixed a loose door panel, with no extra charge, and in general as usual, got the car tightened up in details that just made it a more solid result. Ray and Mike have always been extremely nice, and go out of there way to find hard to find parts on a budget, etc. I highly recommend them if you have a Miata you want to be serviced with peace of mind that the result will be more than satisfactory.

I have been coming here since 2017. The team has been consistently helpful, pleasant, and hospitable. They go beyond my expectations for customer service and cost! I trust their diagnosis and treatment for my car. I don't go anywhere else. I highly recommend this place.

Automotive Specialist has been one of the best finds since we moved to Texas 6 years ago. They go above and beyond to make sure our vehicles are serviced without adding unnecessary repairs or costs. They are honest, hard-working, great at getting us in as needed and have provided the best maintenance and repair on our vehicles that we've experienced.

They explain things well, will show the condition of a part they recommend changing, and never make you feel pressured or belittle you for rudimentary knowledge. Give them a try, you'll be thankful you did!

We've been taking our cars here for many years. They always do an excellent job. It's one of the few mechanics I trust. I'm confident when they tell me what really needs to be fixed and what can wait. Thanks for taking such good care of us all these years, Ray and Mike and all the guys there!

We have taken our cars to Auto Spec for the past 14 years and have had great, honest and affordable service every time. They recently fixed 2 of my doors that would not open. I highly recommend them.

Extremely happy with Auto Spec! I've gone to them for all maintenance and repairs over four years. Mike and Ray are great at explaining what's wrong, what the options are, and what to be aware of in the future. They seem to genuinely care about keeping my costs low, in both the short term and the long run. They offer an ad-hoc shuttle service and send follow-up text messages to ensure I'm satisfied. No BS. Great work.

I have taken my cars several times to Mike and the guys. They are a very good mechanic shop and trustworthy. They are professional and have always treated me nicely. Also Ray usually reaches out to me after the work is done to make sure that I am happy with their work. I have always been pleased with there work and will go back again when needed!

Everything you want from your mechanic it's to be honest, trustworthy, right advice without any extras, fast and quality work with fair prices. Thanks to Mike and his team from Automotive specialists me and my wife (we have 2 cars) getting all of that during 9 years of experience with them. Those guys taking care of our cars like it's their own! Thank you Mike! Thank you team! Keep going like you are doing, we are very happy from your service! Highly recommended!

Thank you Ray and AutoSpec for fixing that annoying vibration in my truck. It now drives very well and rides like a new truck. Your excellent customer service is much appreciated.

Big kudo's to the guys at Automotive Specialists in Round Rock. I took my Mazda Miata to these guys this month and could not be more pleased with the service, in a very timely manner, and the work done to my car. Thanks to John and Jeremiah (owner and son), Mike (service advisor), Eric (great technician), and Sean (shuttle driver) for "taking. care of business".

The car runs great and so were your prices. These guys work on most cars and trucks so, if you own a Miata it's a definite yes but I'm pretty sure they'd be great with your type of vehicle as well. Randy R.

John, Ray and their crew are so honest and thorough! They go above and beyond to explain how issues can be connected and how to avoid problems in the future. I trust them 100% with my safety and care of my Lexus. And not to mention the prices are very fair and competitive! I won't bring my car anywhere else. Thanks guys!

I have been trusting John and his gang for the last 3 years to maintain my race car, my tow vehicle, my daily driver and my partners cars. I trust them to keep them all in tip top shape.

Over priced and not happy with work preformed. they left parts off the vehicle and I could barely make it around the block, limped it back. they installed the part they failed to put back on. Yet when I 1st went in to pay they said it was good to go & the they test drove it after all Work was performed. that was obviously a lie.

Excellent service, fair pricing, extremely trustworthy! They will never try to sell you something you don't need, and they are very thorough in evaluating your vehicle for needed repairs or upcoming maintenance. I've been a customer for about 10 years, have no plans to change, I've always received excellent service.

This place is the best. 2nd time ive had to use them over the years, and they did not disappoint. My 16 year old Xterra runs great. Honest, reliable, and professional. You can not go wrong with these guys.
