Hello, awhile ago we bought a car from taichung. soon we need to make a car check, inspection, around july, any idea where to do that? thanks for your help!
Usually there is one in every neighborhood (sorry I am in Taichung). Check with local mechanics or anyone living in the area. Takes 5- 10 minutes and there will be an emissions test (usually quick and efficient). By the way, if the car is over 10 years old you have to get an inspection every 6 months, otherwise annually.
Some or all of the DMV’s also have an inspection station if you can’t find a neighborhood one near you. My neighborhood one is part of a gas station and replaced a taillight during the inspection.
japp, the car is older than 10 years. so actually I can go to any DMV to do a inspection, right? i thought maybe I need to go to a special place for that. But any recommendation where to go?
Yes, anywhere. Do not know about Taipei, but in Taichung there is only one DMV location for cars, far away, and usually is a zoo (really busy). Seriously, I bet if you ask, you will find one within 5 minutes of where you live. The service at the neighborhood places is usually immediate, 5-10 minutes and your done. Just ask someone with a car in your neighborhood.
wow, didn’t know it is so easy! thanks
