8 motor vehicle companies approved as Authorised Motor Vehicle Inspection Agencies

The Land Transport Authority has provisionally approved eight motor vehicle companies as Authorised Motor Vehicle Inspection Agencies to carry out vehicle inspections for private and commercial vehicles.

LTA’s CEO Carmine Piantedosi says are gradually opening up this service to other companies, so that people do not always need to come to LTA for vehicle inspections.

Car owners will be able to get their vehicles inspected for its annual warrant of fitness/registration at a licensed agency.

Once the vehicle has passed all the tests, the owner can take the completed documentation to LTA and receive the new registration sticker.

The eight companies are Carpenters Motors, Asco Motors, Wheels Pacific, Kia Motors, Eskay Motors, Millennium Motors, Dee Ace and Motor Management Services Ltd and are awaiting final approval subject to meeting the required compliance levels.

Asco Motors, Carpenters Motors, Millennium Motors, Dee Ace and Motor Management are already carrying out inspections for their own customers in accordance with LTA’s vehicle inspection checklist.

This includes lighting and braking systems, fuel supply connections, doors, mirrors and glasses check, body condition, steering and suspension systems, engine, wheels, seats, dash and seat belts, transmission and drive lines.

Piantedosi says it is encouraging to see these vehicle agencies stepping up and willing to make the necessary investments in specialised equipment necessary to help them service their customers better.
