Something seems to have changed since the government took over my local ITV stations as previously appointments could be easily got within a few days but as of this instant the first appointment available is not until Feb 12th!

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 😎
Keep looking on-line. I had the same issue a few months ago. There were no appointments on-line 1 day and next loads! Not sure if it an IT issue but worth checking again for a couple of days. Or as suggested just turn, go for it opening and you shouldn’t wait long.

Go into the Ondara ITV station without an appointment and they will test your car there and then. 100% what most people are doing.
I live close to this ITV station and everyone has been talking about Sitval! It's a disaster.
Good luck, Steve

Mine was also on the edge, so I sat online very first thing every morning, watching until something came up, a cancellation by the look of it, and sniffled it there and then . It was highly inconvenient but took me three days of stalking the site!

The best thing to do is go to the ondara itv there is a little hut at the back they will give you an appointment could be that day as you are there. You can get your itv done one month before it runs out this then gives you 13 months.

Hi, as I said in my post earlier if you keep looking on-line appointments will become available. If you go on-line now there are appointments for Gandia available everyday for the first 2 weeks in February. I am sure the rest of the month will open up soon to. Dont ask me why but this is what always happens!
Try just going along at lunch time (ie around 2pm) sometimes they can fit you in.
Alternatively, try Ontinyent we booked an appointment there on Monday for the 9th February. There's lots to go an explore in the area if you want to make day of it. (As well as Ontinyent, there is Por Clar and Bocairent).
good luck

I had the same problem ,but as has been said previously the local garages block book slots and there is no penalty if they don’t use them. My car needed a service anyway I booked it with a local garage on a Friday and they said they would call me when they could do it and get the ITV done they rang that afternoon to say it was booked for the following Wednesday. No hassle whatsoever they picked the car up from me on the Wednesday morning and delivered it back in the afternoon. All serviced and resplendent with a new ITV sticker, try that.
