Hi all,
Our periodic revision for our car is due at the beginning of February, but Gandía have no appointments until mid March! I’ve tried online and by phone and also other offices such as Ondara but no luck.
Does anyone know a garage or similar that can help? We literally cannot be without our car for a month and can’t risk getting stopped by the police.
Thank you 😎
You could try Ondara, not too far away.
I had a similar problem last year, the only appointment I could get was Ontinyent. I took that and had a day out.
Don't know how far Ondara is but they have appointments on the SITVAL site. The SITVAL ones are those that are now government run.
Ondara isn't far from Gandia and yes, they are both operated by Sitval.
There were major problems last year when Sitval took over from Circuitv. Obviously not ironed out yet

Thank you, as I said in my post I have already tried Ondara. Nothing till March there either! I’ve been looking via the Sitval site and have also phoned them but everything is booked.

Thank you, as I said in my post, I’ve already tried Ondara as the next nearest option. The Sitval site shows nothing free till March and when I called, they suggested I keep checking online every day… such a pain!

Up the CV60 from you about 45 mins away
You don't actually need an appointment, you can just turn up and wait.
I'm sure many appointments will be booked by garages on a 'might need them' basis as there is no penalty for not turning up!

Thank you, that makes sense. Couldn’t believe every single car driver in the area was needing an appointment at exactly the same time!
