Directions: vehicle testing centre

ngourlay's picture

I need to get my car tested on Saturday. Could anyone give me directions to the testing centre near the airport - I've heard it's less busy than the one in the Industrial Area.

Also - does anyone know how much it costs, and what time it opens?

There's one next to Lulu at the open parking space near Sport round-about and one in Industrial Area.

Sorry! I can't remember how much but my friend says it's not very expensive. She had her car tested last August and she can't remember neither how much she pays.

they dont do the testing every day there right?
I heard they do it only on certain days.

If you go to Industrial area during weekdays in the afternoon your tests will finish in 20 minutes.

Yeah I had the reg ins on the maxima...
In fact they wouldn't give me full coverage...
Cause it was 2004 model...
I just got the jeep so I wouldn't have to worry about repairs.
And the full coverage ins...Cause I paid 20K+ dollars.
In the long run cheaper than leaseing as I will sell it when I leave.
And with this weather and the bad roads...I'm glad I did...
