I check that my inspection center has prefectural approval

A vehicle technical inspection center is an establishment that checks the condition of operation and maintenance status of light vehicles (light vehicles). By making this activity its main activity, your inspection center has a legal obligation to have a prefectural authorization authorizing it to exercise such an activity.

This approval also stipulates that the center cannot have other activities such as car repair and car sales.

This is article R323 -13 of the Highway Code which indicates: "The activity of a control center must be carried out in premises which do not house any repair or automobile trade activity and which do not communicate with any premises housing such an activity. ».

Therefore, if the technical control center you are targeting has this type of ancillary activities, or the controller offers them to you, flee, because it is illegal! An inspector is not a mechanic.

Finally, for vintage cars, vehicles running on LPG, for a utility, a motorhome or even a heavy truck, be aware that they are also subject to technical control and that the prices will vary for each type of car.
