End-to-end product safety, quality and operational efficiency
For any road user, vehicle safety is of paramount importance. Vehicle roadworthiness and the consistent maintenance of vehicles in a safe and roadworthy condition is prime contributor to decreasing accidents and reducing fatalities.
AVTS provides a wide range of services for all road users; right from initial vehicle inspection from the MIB’s (Manufacturers, Importers and Builders), right to the regular testing of vehicles carrying passengers and goods for reward.
As a leading player in the South African vehicle testing market, our management and technical teams are highly regarded and participate regularly on standards generating working groups and on technical working groups reviewing legislation. Our early insight into legislative and standards changes will be invaluable to you, and will ensure that your vehicle (be it private or fleet) will remain complaint and roadworthy.
