Hi Guys,

Can anyone recommend an honest and effective garage where we can get an ITV sorted for our car, around Torrevieja/La Mata

Thanks

Steve

ITV can only be done at an ITV testing station, not any garage like in UK. If you're asking for a garage that will check your car over and take it the ITV for you then there are several who do that service and I'm sure you will get a few recommendations. I take my car to the actual dealer who checks it over but I then take the car to the ITV centre myself by booking an appointment with Sitval.com. Always seen within 5 minutes of the appointment time I've booked.

You can also turn up and wait but you could be there some time especially in Torrevieja as they see those with appointments first.

Take it yourself up to a month before it's due. If it passes then you're good to go for 13 months, if it doesn't that's when you may need a garage to sort out whatever needs doing.

Can't recommend anywhere as Torre is not my patch also I do all my own work so have little or no need of one.

My usual garage in Torrevieja said when I tried to book for pre ITV and for them to take car to test station that appointments for garages were no longer available in Valencia province and that they didn't have time to go and sit in the queue.  This was last month.  So I used Autotech in Punta Prima and they took the car to San Pedro which is Murcia.  I guess this was to overcome the Valencia rule.  I can recommend them.
