Why Houston needs vehicle inspectors

Heat is hard on cars

Hot, humid summers blow tires; heavy storms flood underpasses and strand drivers. Heat cooks batteries and blows tires, which keeps jump start, tire change, and tow requests steady across Houston all summer.

Highway volume on I-10

Breakdowns on I-10, I-45, and I-69 / US-59 generate tow, fuel delivery, and roadside jobs at all hours. Operators with proper highway safety setups are first in line.
