HI,

May be better to access Companies that do this.

May I suggest you try;-

Hispavan of Poligono El Real, Antas.

The Garage ( that's its name ), Arboleas

&/or

CAT SERVICES, La Alfoquia,.Nr Arboleas/ Huercal Overa.

All are on Google Search.

Should be able to get a definitive price.

Best Wishes,

Bob and Sandra

Difficult to say but I would expect €1000 upwards as much as €1600 but that’s a very rough idea it depends on what the car is and how much they decide u pay

Partners Hybrid Honda Insight cost approx €1900 to do the full ITV but that included a pre ITV, service and some brakes/tyres work all done at The Garage on the poligono near Arboleas/Albox, great people to run with, (have to say the LHD headlamps were approx €475 "each" !!.)

We were helped by the people at CAT Services, again the guys at The Garage took her car to Lorca testing station, Spanish seem to like hybrids, tax was €30 and like the UK the ITV is tied to emissions.

If youre car is under 10 yrs old the ITV sticker is valid for 2 years, over 10 it's valid for 1.

The Garage sourced the parts, unfortunately genuine Honda, latest expense were shock absorbers, two off at approx €300 !! And they only fit the Insight Hybrid !!

There is a Jaguar dealer on the way to Lorca, going nth come off at the mendez hospital ramp and left at the big roundabout, there are several scrapyards along A7/E15 Nth and South where all or most of the vehicles are on racks.

Hope that helps.
