About us

It was September 1988, and Allen McCracken decided it was time to leave the magazine distribution business and begin a new venture. But what? It came to them, like most ideas - out of frustration. Allen's wife, Pat, mentioned she had not been able to find a good detail shop when she had their cars detailed a few times a year. And that was that. Allen knocked on the door of his tenant, whom he knew needed a job. "You're goin' to work today," Allen announced. "Ok, doin' what?" the tenant replied. "Detailing cars in exchange for rent," Allen informed. Pat decided she would inspect all the vehicles to make sure the work met her standards. In turn, they named the business "Inspecor #9", after the popular men's underwear commercials running at the time referring to inspector #12 who wouldn't put her stamp on the underwear unless it passed all her quality tests. After a few years of building a successful detail business, a funny thing happened. Not one, but two different business owners, on the same day, approached Allen about buying their businesses - one a window tinting business, the other an auto glass company. He bought them both and incorporated them under the Inspector #9 name. Before long, customers came to Allen for everything related to their vehicle's appearance. They even began to ask about car and truck accessories like step bars and seat covers. To honor his customers' requests, he began carrying all kinds of aftermarket accessories. It's been over 21 years, and Inspector #9 has now become Inspector's Auto Appearance. Allen is proud to have soo many people over the years become lifetime customers. "It's rewarding when customers come in and try to recollect how many cars we've tinted for them or how many windshields we've replaced or repaired, and now, they're sending their kids to us! Thank you, Flagstaff." - Allen & Pat McCracken

They had great customer service. They communicated well. It was raining and they rescheduled me because they didn't want to take a chance my interior getting wet while they were doing it which was nice. They were convenient. They were willing to come to my place of work and do it in my parking lot. I thought that was convenient. I've had no issues with the windshield. They did have a little bit of issue on waiting on them.
Description of Work: I used Inspector's Auto Appearance to replace a windshield.

Allan (the owner) is very punctual and efficient. This is my go-to shop for anything related to my auto glass or auto body repair. For the door handle, it took awhile for Allan to get one, and it ended up being a bit expensive. Their labor cost was very reasonable -- if not a little low, in my opinion.
Description of Work: Repaired windshield chips at their shop. I have had them replace a caar windshield at my house in the past. These services were covered by my insurance. The only time I had to pay something was when I had them replace a door handle in an 1998 car.

I'm not sure if it was the weather or not, but when the window shades I had installed were done, they ended up falling off within a few months. The adhesive that was used was not of the best quality, and so I needed to take my car back a second time to have it fixed. The second time around, it was installed incorrectly. I'm not going to take it back to have them mess it up again.
Description of Work: Install accessories to windows
