Important — how the ITV works
We prepare your car for the ITV — we do not issue it
In the Valencia region the ITV can only be carried out at an official, government-authorised ITV station. No independent garage anywhere in Alicante is permitted to issue an ITV certificate, and you should be cautious of any workshop that claims otherwise.
What our ITV prices cover is everything around the test: inspecting your car against the exact points the ITV examines, putting right anything that would cause a failure and make your life thus a little easier.
When is your ITV due?
Private cars: exempt for the first 4 years, then every 2 years to age 10, then annually. Your ITV card shows the exact date.
Not sure what you need?
That is completely normal. Describe the problem to us the best you can and we will work out the rest.
