    Hello - I was wondering where folks take their exotics for the annual state inspection in Travis County. I have a Ferrari F430 coming inbound from California and need to get that inspection completed before I can register the car, thank you!

    Hi Brian - I was also going to reach out to you! I live on 620 right next to Mansfield Dam. I used that Firestone in the Randalls shopping mall for my other cars but a little nervous about them touching the F-car.

    Brian I would love to have a relationship with your shop as I will need a caretaker for her.

    Lakeway Texaco has always been good to me. Lohmans Crossing and Lakeway Blvd. Watch out for radar by the school.

    I'm down by the other Randalls. Stop by sometime.

    ^ Brian can take care of it.

    If he's too far out, I have two options on the North side. One near my garage, the other up North a ways. We take our customer cars to have them inspected often and take care of the legwork to go through exceptions in Texas if needed.

    I've used the Porsche and the BMW service departments for the past few years. They clearly are capable on dealing with high value vehicles...

    Hey Phil, I have used that same firestone for my other cars as well. I had FoA take care of inspection when I had my car in for service. My 360 doesn't get driven much so it took a bit to get it to pass emissions. I'm sure hill country or another exotic service like FoA know some inspection spots that understand the fickle nature of Italians and can help ease the process.

    I could be wrong but I believe FoA sends them to an inspection shop somewhere around Airport Blvd. I can't recall the name....
