What do we check?
The ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) is Spain's compulsory roadworthiness test, similar to the UK's MOT. Before you take the car in, we check what it usually looks at:
- Lights and indicators
- Brakes: pads, discs and hoses
- Tyres: tread, condition and pressure
- Steering and suspension: play and shock absorbers
- Windscreen, wipers and mirrors
- Seat belts and door latches
- Oil and other fluid leaks
- Exhaust: mountings and visible smoke
It's our own pre-check: it doesn't replace the official inspection and can't promise its result.

How we work

A small garage with no small print: you decide at every step.

First, you tell us what's wrong.

On WhatsApp, by phone or by dropping in. The make and model of the car is enough to get started.

Then, the quote, before we touch anything.

We tell you what needs doing, why, and what it costs. We don't start without your go-ahead.

Next, we message you on WhatsApp.

If something else comes up during the repair, we tell you before we do it. And when the car is ready, we tell you that too.

Finally, you pick up your car.

We explain what was done and give you the invoice.
