Private Car Registration Service

[inzman]

Does anybody know where the private registration service is on sukhimvit road. How much do they charge? Its for road tax renewal and I need the car checked because its over 7 years old. Thanks

I don't know your part of Thailand, so all I can advise is that the workshops/garages authorised to check older vehicles have yellow signs outside with a blue 'cogwheel' inside them.

They differ as chalk from cheese in my experience. One totally refused to look at a car because it had the wrong colour on the logbook (tabien rot), another pointed out the problem, gave the car a pass and said "Get that changed at Land Transport soonest!" (LT needs a receipt from a paint shop showing that they changed the colour).

Other than that, the test stations are mainly looking at brakes, clean (!) emissions, lights and horn.

Chok dee.
