annual car inspection
annual car inspection
To get an annual car inspection, I went to one of the "Katsastus" and failed the test and was told that I need to go to a service station to repair few problems. I went to a service company (i.e., Vianor) and they told me that they will fix the problems and also can get the annual car inspection done. That is I don't need to go back to "Katsastus" to get tested again. My question is: do these service companies also carry out annual car inspections?

They can get licensed to do so.zealot wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 12:10 pmTo get an annual car inspection, I went to one of the "Katsastus" and failed the test and was told that I need to go to a service station to repair few problems.

Yes, or they drive the car somewhere else for an inspection, which based on the information on Vianor web page is what they're doing.betelgeuse wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 7:39 pmThey can get licensed to do so.zealot wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 12:10 pmTo get an annual car inspection, I went to one of the "Katsastus" and failed the test and was told that I need to go to a service station to repair few problems.

Re: annual car inspection
Yes, some companies can take care of both the repairs and the katsastus.
Re: annual car inspection
Check what they charge you for doing the katsastus. Normally if you fail the original katsastus company would do a recheck for free or a very small amount

Exactly, it will save you some euro's if you have it retested at the same station where it was tested when it did not pass, most likely about 20€ instead of 40-50€
That said, it might be more convenient and time saving to have all done at the same time..saves you from making a separate appointment and taking leave from work another day for the re-test.
