MARYLAND STATE INSPECTION in
Elkridge (MD)

All the reviews are correct. This place is legit. Got some work done here and it was quick and reasonable. Highly recommend coming here for inspections as well.

This shop is a scam and should be investigated for bad business practices. I have a car (Tesla) that tells me when a alignment is needed but this guy failed my inspection because he feels the steering wheel has a little tilt. There is after market steering wheel on the car which could be contributing to the small insignificant tilt. No uneven wheel wear.

I don't know who leaves positive reviews. Had to wait more than an hour and a half. As expected, the car did not pass inspection. They gave me a list of faults and suggested that I have the car repaired by them. Judging by the part numbers, these are the cheapest replacements at the price of the originals. And I will say more, some parts turned out to be in good condition and did not need replacement.

Please avoid this place if you value your time. Their listed opening time on Google is 8:30 AM, but they don’t actually open until 11 AM. When I called, they kept saying they were ‘on the way,’ which was very unprofessional. This business is poorly organized, and they should reconsider whether they deserve to hold a license.

All legit, no funny under the table business. Everything is transparent the work they do is quality and excellent! Always take my cars here to get serviced, best rates and best service.

Recently moved here to the state of Maryland. I came in for the inspection…greeted nicely and professionally by the owner and his co-worker. The inspection was fairly quick and they charged with a reasonable price.

I took my porsche convertible to be inspected. When we got up to the building, my car would not go into the building without causing some rubbing. We asked for something to be put down so the car doesn't receive damage but the worker gave us a blunt "no" and told us to take our business elsewhere. Definitely don't recommend if you care about your car's wellbeing.

Was not able to have an inspection on my car because the parking lot pavement is uneven. There is a steep incline into the inspection bay and your car may rub the ground as it attempts to pull in. When I pulled forward I heard that sound and I thought what the hell? Truck is fine I'm sure. No where to turn around. When I arrived I was told it would take an hour but changed to needing to park my car somewhere else. Bait and switch. The attendant told me he can't inspect it. This place loses so much money inviting customers to only find out they will not service your car. Not the most pleasant bunch. They could use a course in customer service and how to run a business. Fix your damn driveway.

Took my car there for inspection. Did a thorough inspection, found several issues I was not aware of. However I had to call to find out my car was finished. Later found out they over torqued every wheel nut they took off, causing my wheel studs to unseat. Would not recommend for any car enthusiasts.

Great service, very professional , humble people! I came for Maryland State Inspection , and was performed very professionally ,, reasonable rate and don’t have to wait all day ,, 1 to 1 and 1/2 hour ,highly highly recommended.

I didn't even know places like this existed, where you could just walk in foreign inspection or title and tags. Super nice people working there, they're very patient and are willing to go over every step of whatever service you need. Great customer service in terms of follow-up with phone calls and other information Highly recommended!

I had a great experience here. We walked in and the owner was up front with me that the vehicle would fail due to a chip in the windshield. He recommended getting it fixed at an auto glass repair shop and coming back after. I appreciated his honesty and not just taking my money and then charging me for a reinspection after. He was able to see me in the afternoon after getting the windshield fixed. Service was fast and efficient. Very professional and honest! Would definitely come back for any other vehicle service needs in the future.

I called so many places trying to find an inspection. Most places will make you come in at 8am and leave your car there all day, or schedule several days out. These guys cut that BS and just gave me the next available slot they had. I was in and out in a little over an hour. I would absolutely recommend more people have inspections done here.

Better than I expected! I was a walk in on a Friday. My vehicle was inspected immediately and took about an hour. I paid $105 for them to inspect my truck; it costs less for sedans. The gentleman that helped me was nice and professional. They passed my inspection and told me about parts that I would need to replace soon. I would absolutely return again. Thank you!

I was able to walk in and within a couple minutes my car inspection was started. Very convenient and timing to completion was great!! Cost was less than other places I had called about. Thank you!

I personally don't do Google reviews but I will make an exception for once: I took my vehicle for an out of country inspection. When I got there I didn't quite know who to speak to as I couldn't figure the entrance of the office; it was on the other side of the fence. I eventually met someone who happened to be an inspector. He told me to wait 40 mins. After about 45min he took my 4Runner in for inspection and boy did he do a thorough job! I thought at one point he was actually looking for faults to make me fail due to how thorough he was but then he did something that made me know it wasn't financially motivated: someone pulled in with a Jeep Wranglers with massive tires for an inspection and he straight up told the dude there was no point performing an inspection because the tires would make him fail. He advised the customer to change the tires and some flood lights by the windshield before even attempting an inspection. The customer was disappointed obviously but he was glad that he was saved about 100 bucks for an inspection that would have failed. I really thought the gesture from the inspector was really noble and I highly recommend these guys! I completely disagree with folks that say they are not honest.

Very friendly people, love this place! Will come here again for sure for any thing needed to be done to my car! Highly recommend.

I needed an appointment for a out of state inspection to get my car registered in Maryland because I just moved here. Everywhere I called could not get me in at least 2 weeks out. I was done at LMT within one hour. Give them a call to get an appointment. Saw some chickens running around their parking lot, not sure if they were wild or owned but it was fun watching them while I was there.

Needed to get a Maryland inspection after an out of state purchase. Khan had great Saturday hours and got me in and out in under an hour. It was worth the drive from Bethesda and I didn't have to take time off work.

Front desk lady could use a few courses in customer service. Mechanic also left my headlights on when done with my car. When they finished rude secretary seemed to be confused on where I should go to get my car. Like you work here how are you confused? No clear communication at all. I’m not sure if it’s because of the language barrier. It’s a good place for if you urgently need something done with my car but if not go somewhere else.

Went on a Friday for a Maryland State Inspection and they were very quick/informative. My car failed due to brakes and the very next day I took it back to have my rear brakes and rotors replaced (these hadnt been changed since at least 2016-2019).They replaced the brakes and rotors as well as reinspected the car. Within 24 hours of making the call and fixing my car, I had a fully registered Maryland vehicle. I was also able to walk out the door with my plates and registration without returning to MVA. Highly recommend!

Poor customer service by one of inspection officer. Made me wait for 2 hours just to make sure my break lights were working , and came up by giving an excuse that your car need more repair. He wanted me to spend money for no reason. It was complete waste of time and pretty unprofessional behavior. I will not recommend P.s becareful

Location: Wasn't the easiest to spot and GPS will take you around the block unnecessarily but it's located next to Elkridge Liquors and across the street (Washington Blvd.) from Avalon Square. Service: Had a MD Inspection done and was done in about an hour. Quick, easy painless and easy to do business with. Currently their inspections are priced between $85-$95 depending on your vehicle size. Also completed registration stickers here which was super simple. Overall I'm pleased with the service and would recommend. 😊

The five star reviews they have must be family members posting, cause these guys are terrible. I came in for a state inspection and they took my car for a 20min test drive - why? Next they put my car on the lift and then sat around and chatted for an hour while nothing happened. Then they look around and tell me I have a torn boot, so fine, they say I can get it replaced somewhere else and bring it back, then when I bring it back they tell me I need to pay for a whole new inspection. SCAM!

I’ve had nothing but great experiences since I started going to Central. They’ve been honest with me from day one, including advising me of things I didn’t actually need that I had come in for. When a shop puts your best interest over making a quick buck, you know you’re in the right place. I don’t recommend many places, but Central is definitely one I do recommend!

Oh my gosh what a great place! The owner/mechanic whose name tag read 'Mr Awesome' stood true to his name. I had a long trip ahead of me and a whole bunch of problems suddenly erupted, so I looked up the reviews and called them. They accommodated me immediately and changed my bulbs and worked my wipers. Thank you so much.

Highly recommend! I work across the street, and decided to give this place a try since we are neighbors. I did not regret! Amazing service, fair rates. I brought my car in all shaking and with "check engine" light on, and it runs nice and smooth. Thank you, Azaad Khan!
