Are you tired of paying full price for a compulsory inspection for your vehicle? A website offers an original formula that allows you to get it for just one euro.
Obligatory for almost all automobiles in France since 1992 and recently imposed on motorcycles, the technical inspection must be carried out before the vehicle is four years old and then renewed every two years. To do this, you must make an appointment yourself at an approved center which will then carry out the inspection and issue the report indicating that the vehicle is roadworthy. Otherwise, you must carry out the necessary repairs and have a follow-up inspection within two months. In the event of a technical inspection failure, you may be fined 135 euros.
In France, each technical inspection center is free to apply its own rates for examining the vehicle. This results in prices which can sometimes vary by more than double in the same department, going from 60 to 120 euros for a private gasoline vehicle, for example. But with a little luck, you can get it for just a euro.
The technical inspection for 1 euro is the promise of the site CTeasy launched in 2016. Its operation is rather simple. You must register on the site on 1er of each month (between 9 p.m. the day before and until 8:59 a.m. on the day). You must then choose a partner technical inspection center participating in the operation (CTeasy currently has XXX spread across XX departments) then register for… the draw. In fact, 8 coupons at 1 euro are available per center each month and awarded after a random draw between participants. Obviously for this price, you should not be too demanding regarding the meeting time slot which is often scheduled early in the morning (the least requested places). But the game is still worth it.
And if luck doesn’t favor you, it is still possible to pay less. CTeasy also offers discounts (up to -48%) on prices charged with its 400 approved partner centers. But this website is not the only one in this niche since other sites like Simplauto or CT-Malin also offer discounts of the same ilk. A smart reflex to avoid high bills before the holidays.
