My car is due an ITV test, when I am not in Spain the car is parked at Ecoparking at Alicante airport.
To get it tested locally in the Albir, Alfaz it seems isn't possible as local centres are closed with the only option testing in Murcia...
Any advice.
Thank you
Sorry, what are you asking? Do you want the ITV to be done near Albir? That would be Benidorm which is about 10 to 15 minutes away but that station doesn't have appointments until 17th November. Alicante a bit further away has appointments from 6 October, Alcoy a bit further away has appointments available from this Wednesday.
Are you asking for an ITV to be done by where it is garaged at Alicante. The above would be the same.
If you want an ITV immediately then Elche and Torrevieja have them from a couple of days time. I'd have thought Murcia would have been a bit far.
This SITVAL page shows the locations in the Valencia Region and hovering over the stations tells you when they next have available appointments. Do not book an appointment in the Valencia Region with any other site other than sitval.com as there are lot of cons they warn you about which take your money without making the appointment or charge you to make the appointment.

Have you asked Ecoparking to arrange the ITV and take it for you? They have done this for me in the past but it was probably 4 or 5 years ago so may not offer this service anymore.

Another option would be to get Ecoparking have the car ITV tested for you, go onto their website and request a quote.
Aitch.

I did, but I am afraid they have no longer that service as it takes 4 hours!

Eco park may take car for mot if you ask them ? They will charge you a fee but worth a shout if you can book a test at the Alicante itv centre
We’ve just booked ours about a week or so ago & got an appointment for tomorrow as no local ones near us in Denia

Unfortunately, Ecoparking cannot oblige on getting me an ITV test which would be very handy especially when the car is parked up for so long.
Maybe I will wait until this waiting list reduces and try to submit for an ITV test in the new year when the Benidorm centre is functioning properly.
Thanks

My ITV ran out while I was parked at ECO parking, but I just drove back to my house in Torre.
I then arranged a test at San Javier.
I know. I'm naughty and took a risk.
I'll no doubt do the same next year.
