State Inspection

state inspection

LMC provides state inspections, also known as emissions sticker, for your car, light truck, motorcycle and trailers in just 15 minutes.

The Two Step One Sticker Program, HB 2305 was passed during the 83rd legislative session (2013). This bill eliminated the inspection sticker resulting in a single-sticker system and makes vehicle registration dependent on obtaining a passing vehicle inspection.

A state inspection after January 1, 2025 now consists of an emissions test only in Harris and Montgomery Counties.

The emissions test will look for dash lights as well as other possible problems.

The technician will inform you of any problems with the inspection and whether they will need further inspection or diagnostics.

Most days we can perform your inspection from walk-ins but if you prefer to schedule an appointment we can do that too.

If your car or truck does fail an inspection, your service advisor will have the info needed to pass. An emissions failure would generally be something to do with a check engine light and would require a diagnostic test to pinpoint the problem.
