Car ITV & Service
Car ITV & Service
by Alison Taylor » Sat Dec 07, 2019 7:18 pm
Hi
We bought a car earlier this year. The ITV runs out about 5 days before our July holiday next year. Should be get it renewed early in May or can we be 5 days late?
What is the process for ITV? Do we have to take car and wait or can a garage do a service/check and take it for ITV for us?
Any recommendations in the Rojales area for a good honest garage?
Thanks

You can’t legally drive the car if the ITV has expired.

Suggest Autos Direct who did mine 3 yrs ago.
I’ve had very bad experiences with Venture Fleet. Kept my car a week to fit 2 sensors. A month later kept it for 7 WEEKS to repair cylinder head. 1 week later back again for 2 weeks to replace the turbo which could have been damaged by them. All in all nearly €2000 spent and lo and behold had the car back a week and yesterday the engine warning light is on suggesting an emissions control issue which they told me had all been serviced.

I bought my little runabout from Autos Direct in September and have had fantastic service from them. They have offered to take my car for its ITV in June if I am not in Spain then. I think you can do it up to a month before but not after.
Oh and they also have a service centre. I don't know how their prices compare but it's worth asking.

Our friend also had a very bad experience with Venture Fleet. Kept the car for 3 months, cost over 1,000€ and still never fixed the problem (oil leak). Car went back and forth for about another couple of months before finally expiring and had to be towed back home.

I have used Venture fleet for several years, and found very reliable and helpful, yes they do ITV Service and get the IYV for you.

A very good point. However unless your Spanish is good...and mine isn’t....it’s difficult to understand the techie bits
