My car is due for inspection and licence renewal. Where is a good place to get my car inspected? I live near Orchard. Any recommendations?
Thank you!

I really appreciate the replies. Looks like VICOM has a location near my daughter's school, and I can get my licence renewed there as well. Perfect!
Have a great week!

One bit of advice, if you've had front window tints/film either aftermarket or fitted when you bought the car it will most likely fail. I found out the hard way last Monday when I went for inspection when it only failed on the window tints even with all the mods on my car. Luckily my workshop was just around the corner so they took them off for me, not an easy job because of the glue it leaves, and went for free re-inspection.

I think it depends on the % of tint as well, not as simple as whether you have or have not.
Mine has.
I got pulled up for the ICU not working under an ERP gantry and after the third time was told to go for inspection......this was at the time of the faulty cashcard stuff too. Anyway inspector told me the tint on the windsreen was "blocking the signal" so only told me to cut a section out around the top of the ICU. Not reomove the tint completely, just cut away a larger section around the ICU.
Well, of course, I didn't........ got a new card instead and so far all has been fine.
Some things are just as useless as others. Don't go whipping off tints without a good reason cause a real pain in the proverbial.
