Compare vehicle inspection prices, country by country
Almost everywhere in Europe, your car needs a recurring technical inspection. The name, the price, and the schedule change at every border. Mechanic Appointment brings it together in plain English, then helps you compare vetted local workshops and book your next service.
Pick your country
Each country has its own inspection regime and its own price comparison service. Read the English guide, then jump to the local site to find a workshop near you.
Norway
Cars are inspected every two years. Compare approved workshops on price, distance, and Google rating.
Germany
The Hauptuntersuchung is due every two years, with a coloured plakette on the rear plate as proof.
Why we built this
Norway has used eukontrollpris.no for years to compare inspection prices and book the nearest approved workshop in a few clicks. The same problem exists everywhere a car has to pass an inspection: prices vary widely, the rules are easy to misread, and most drivers just want a clear answer and a fair price. This hub takes what works in Norway and extends it to the rest of Europe.
We keep it honest: no clickbait, no misleading prices, no fake reviews. Read more about who we are.
