Key areas of activity: public services

As a partner of TÜV NORD in the field of statutory vehicle inspections, we offer you all the inspections required by law under the StVZO and related regulations – carried out reliably and competently, and explained in a way that is easy to understand.

MOT tests in accordance with § 29 of the StVZO, including measurement of exhaust emissions

  • The annual roadworthiness test (HU) ensures that your car, motorbike or camper van remains safe, roadworthy and compliant with regulations. Whether it’s your first inspection after three years or a regular HU every two years – we’ll keep you informed about deadlines, sticker colours, common faults, the necessary documents and follow-up checks.

Approval of vehicle modifications pursuant to § 19(3) of the StVZO

  • In accordance with Section 19(3), we inspect and document all technical modifications to your vehicle – whether they involve spoilers, the chassis, a tow bar or other modifications. This ensures that you can drive safely and in compliance with the regulations.

Individual approvals under § 21 of the StVZO / § 13 of the EG-FGV

  • For vehicles without type approval, or in the case of extensive modifications, our Technical Service experts will issue the necessary individual approvals.

Inspections for taxis and hire cars in accordance with § 41 and § 42 of the BOKraft

  • We carry out all the inspections required by law in accordance with BOKraft to ensure that your taxi or hire car business continues to operate safely and in compliance with the law.

Safety inspection (SP) in accordance with § 29 of the StVZO

  • The SP, formerly known as the BSU or ZU, is a visual, performance and functional inspection of commercial vehicles. It complements the HU and ensures that commercial vehicles remain roadworthy between HU appointments.

Gas tightness testing on motorhomes, caravans, etc.

  • LPG ensures comfort in your motorhome or caravan. To ensure your safety whilst travelling, we inspect your system in accordance with DVGW Worksheet G 607 and document that it is in good working order.

100 km/h certificate for towing a trailer

  • If you want to reach your destination more quickly, you can obtain a 100 km/h certificate for your vehicle combination. This allows trailers and caravans to be driven at speeds of up to 100 km/h on motorways and expressways.

Classic car inspections in accordance with § 23 of the StVZO

  • Vehicles that are to be registered as classic cars with an ‘H’ registration plate must be classified as ‘motoring heritage’. We can provide you with expert advice, draw up the assessment report and can also prepare a valuation report for your insurance company.

Key areas of activity: non-official services

Our valuation service provides you with independent valuations, damage assessments and specialist inspections – for private clients, insurance companies, solicitors and businesses.

Damage Assessment Report

  • We provide independent expert reports on third-party liability and comprehensive insurance claims, as well as structural damage, and assist you throughout the entire claims settlement process. Ideal for insurance companies, solicitors or your own protection.

Vehicle Appraisal Report

  • These include valuation reports, used car inspections, lease return reports and classic car reports. We also offer precise laser measurement of motorbike frames – for a reliable assessment of the vehicle’s condition.

Specialized Reports

  • Our experts produce specialist valuations for boats, machinery and power units, as well as for e-bikes, bicycles and RC models. Perfect for specialised vehicles, equipment and hobby areas.

Leasing checklist for lessees

  • We inspect your vehicle before you return it, so that you are protected against unnecessary or excessive additional charges from the lessor.

Workshop tests

  • An impartial and objective quality assessment of your workshop – ideal for fleet customers, insurance companies or for your own quality control. 

OBCD Digital Vehicle Diagnostics

  • Using the OBCD digital vehicle diagnostics system, we analyse your vehicle quickly, objectively and on the basis of data – directly via the OBD interface. We check the condition of your vehicle, including the state of health (SOH) of your electric car’s battery, the fault memory and vehicle data, efficiently and cost-effectively.
