Vehicle Inspection Requirements

The Texas Department of Public Safety Vehicle Inspection requires that all vehicles registered in the state must undergo annual emission (exemption in some counties) and safety inspections once in a year. The Texas DPS passenger car inspectors follow a checklist while conducting an annual safety inspection. During the process, the inspector checks your vehicle’s operation, visibility, horns, windshield wipers, mirrors, steering, and seat belts, and brake system parking.

My BMW I5 recently suffered significant damage in a crash. My advisor David Guerrero at Advantage BMW Downtown managed my repair extremely well. This included protracted negotiations with my insurance company to ensure that all the necessary repairs were made with original BMW parts. My car is now like new and I am very satisfied with everything that was done.

Ramon provided excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend this Dealership to anyone of my friends or Associates. Ramon definitely deserves a promotion. Excellent customer service made you feel right at home even though if this is the first time I’ve ever been to the Dealership he made me feel right at home.
