What a visit looks like

Four steps, then you’re gone.

No long line, no run-around. Here’s the visit, as customers tell it.

Pull in

Look for the blue banner down the drive off S Main. Call ahead if you want, or just come by.

Pulled up told them what I needed and they took care of me right away. Rickey D.

Get tested

The test takes only a few minutes. Customers say there’s rarely much of a wait.

Went in for emissions inspection 15 minutes before they closed. Johnny C.

Wait inside

A real waiting room, with a TV, a candy bowl, and room for the kids and the dog.

they offered snacks & bottled water to everyone in the waiting room. Liz V.

Sticker on, you’re done

Renewing your registration? They’ll put the new sticker on for you.

Out in minutes and he even put my sticker on for me. Brooke F.
What we do

Emissions, renewal stickers and a little more.

One shop, one job done well. Tap a service to open it.

Emissions testing

The core of what they do. Cars and trucks, including a 30-year-old Buick that passed with compliments.

Took my truck in at the last min to get emissions done without issue and had me out again in just a few min. Nathan P.

Registration renewal sticker

Their sign says “On spot renewal sticker.” Get tested and leave with the sticker on your car.

The best part is he was able to give me the sticker. So I didn't have go to the dreaded D.M.V. !!! Jerry S.

Check-engine light?

Their sign says “Check engine light on? We can help.” If your car doesn’t pass the first time, customers say they’re kind about it and happy to help once the repairs are done.

it failed on the first pass but he was so kind and accommodating. Abby H.

Car detailing

Also on their sign: “Car Detailing.” Customers have left their car with Carlos for a detail.

We came here for a detail with Carlos and he did such an amazing job. Maira R.

He’ll give it to you straight.

Shortstop tests; they don’t sell repairs. Customers say that’s why they trust the answer.

Since he doesn't do mechanical work, he will give it to you straight and you know you can trust him. Steve D.
Good to know

Quick answers.

Do I need an appointment?
Their sign says no appointment necessary, and most customers just stop in. On Sundays they’re open by appointment, so call ahead. Went in for emissions inspection 15 minutes before they closed. Johnny C.
How long will it take?
Customers keep clocking it at about ten minutes, sometimes a little more if there’s a car ahead of you. Waited about 15-20 minutes and that was while another car was ahead of me. Andrew R.
Can I show up late in the day?
Customers have been taken right up to closing, and at least one found them still open past the posted time. Call if you’re cutting it close. Super quick, super easy, and was fit in late at night right before closing time. Jake M.
What if I didn’t need the test after all?
Honest answers are the whole point. midway through doing the test, they came back and told me I was good for another year and would not charge me for the emissions check. Tom
Is there somewhere to wait?
Yes, a clean waiting room, and it’s kid and dog friendly. The waiting room was warm, inviting, surprisingly clean (compared to other shops I've been to), and comfortable. Catherine J.
Do you speak Spanish?
Customers mention bilingual service, and many leave reviews in Spanish. Bilingual service availability Maira R.

Have to give these guys major props for being open later than any other emissions place. The business door says they close at 6:30 but they really are open until 7!

About

A small shop with a baseball heart.

Shortstop is family owned, and it shows: a candy bowl on the counter, baseball memorabilia in the waiting room, and an owner who’ll talk sports while he works.

He also played professional baseball for a little while.Joe
