They broke my hubcap and didn’t install it back. When I called to complain, they told me to return for the installation. Upon my return, they installed it with zip ties. When I spoke to the manager about the zip ties, they explained they broke the hubcap during removal. They offered no compensation, instead suggested I should purchase replacements from Amazon, stating “those are cheap and break easily.” (First, they did not disclose they broke it, second, they did not take accountability at all, their narrative sounded like it was my fault to put cheap hubcaps.) Last night, the zip ties broke, causing the hubcap to come loose on a two-way highway and hit a motorcycle from the opposite direction, causing the rider to fall off !!!! I trusted them with those zip ties ( they’re the professionals ) instead they created a safety hazard and put me and someone else in a dangerous spot.

Very misleading hours for State Inspections, they state everywhere they close at 6pm (that they might close earlier depending on volume, understandable) so I got there at 5pm, and there were two cars but I was told they already closed two hours ago, so at 3pm 😂. It's impossible to work around a business that may have a 3 hours difference between posted hours and "the hour they decide to close for that day", also the person that got there at 3pm was the one still waiting at 5pm? Crazy if true. My personal advice is avoid going to this place during the whole afternoon so you don't risk losing your time, they may be open but apparently take them 3 hours to get an inspection? Or they may be closed and ask you to go the next day at 8am. No, thanks. Response to the response: Never in my life an inspection for my car has taken more than 10-15 mins, if your average is that high something is off either here or the other many places, I've waited lines of up to 10 cars in ~2 hours on a busy Saturday morning in other places. In any case, maybe just post a more realistic closing time like everyone else does (usually 4pm), a 3-hours margin of error is simply nonsense and you're just playing with people's time.

We are sorry we were not able to accommodate you for your inspection. However we do operate for Inspections for the hours we post. Each vehicle takes 30-40 mins therefore the line is shut down accordingly during the day. If we didn’t do this our employees would never get home. Obviously, towards the end of the month volume is heavier. Furthermore out of convenience to our customers we do not require a person to wait with their vehicle

They quoted me two major repairs to get my car safety inspected. I was suspicious and took my car to another mechanic I trusted. There was nothing major wrong with my car. Scummy

They list their emission testing hours until 4pm on Saturdays. However they stop accepting cars even before 1:30pm. Don’t waste your time as I did, and try somewhere more reliable.

We are sorry that you were unable to get your emissions inspection done today. We are open until 4pm on Saturdays and we do shut our line down when we have enough vehicles to last until 4pm. Just like most everybody out there when their workday is done they like to get home.

I have been working with Shirlington shell around 3 years now. They all stay good care of me and provide the suggestions I I need to continue to run my car well. Very thankful for them.

In and out, no problem I have used them twice for State inspection and both times were quick and easy.
