What’s in a Name

Mario’s Inspections

Whether we like it or not, Austin is a car-friendly city, and most of us find ourselves every morning turning the key in the ignition and driving to our first destination of the day. This also means that car care is paramount in order to keep our reliable transportation rolling down the street. Perhaps the two most important maintenance-related tasks are oil changes and state inspections.

Every year that pesky state inspection requirement sneaks up, and you realize that you have to put your daily routine on hold, schedule an appointment – that often needs to be rescheduled later – and then wait for hours on end in the hopes that you’ll be told you ‘pass’. In fact, just the thought probably made you cringe.

Mario Carcamo, however, was determined that for inspections at least this did not need to be the case. Mario knew he was going to offer just two services: car inspections and oil changes. Anything else, he decided, would hinder his team from offering quick, thorough inspections that got people in and out the door.

Although customer service is his calling card, the shop’s friendly-family service and dual inspection machines are the hallmarks of a visit to Mario’s. Mario himself performs many of the inspections; his insistence on accuracy and speed is a unique combination that can often draw long lines of customers. Thankfully, Mario devised a solution. If you show up to get your car inspected, but don’t have the desire to wait in line, you can add yourself to the digital queue via text where you will receive an alert 30 minutes before you’re scheduled to have your car inspected.
