Houston state inspection

Anyone recommend a good state inspection place in the northwest/galleria/290 area?
After driving around all day no one wanted to put my car on the rollers....
If anyone can recommend a place let me know.

Contact the Houston main DFPS office, they supposedly do inspections.
If your car fails and takes over about $100 to fix, you get a 1 year waiver until next years testing.
That can be easily done with new platinum plugs and wires.

One good point about if you fail, tell them the truth! The car was not imported after 1995, went out of rest of the world model production in 2002, and many parts are costly or hard to find.

Because that is illegal and shouldn't be discussed in a public forum.

Oh wow, I did not know that and it was not my intention to put the forum in trouble!

Beside, I even know of companies doing PPIs for a living, I find it weird that it is illegal...

Yup, those places have to be licensed to do state inspections.
If they get caught doing illegal inspections im pretty sure they could lose the license and be fined.

If you're still looking, these guys still do OBD-1 inspections and their machines are not always broken as you seem to see everywhere else. Call in advance to make sure they'll fit your needs and timing but supposed to be a great shop:
