Is vehicle inspection available during holidays?

[DeIsabela]

Vehicle inspection services are available during holidays, as the Vehicle Management Office operates 365 days a year without closure. On Saturdays, Sundays, and other holidays, basic services such as temporary license plates and license replacement can be processed, but vehicle registration services are not available. Specific working hours for vehicle inspection: Generally, it is from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM on weekdays (Monday to Friday). In summer, the afternoon hours are from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM. On weekends and holidays, the Vehicle Management Office only handles basic services. Documents required for vehicle inspection: Fill out the "Motor Vehicle Inspection Record Form." For private vehicles, in addition to the owner's signature, a copy of the owner's ID card must be attached. For company vehicles, a copy of the enterprise code certificate must be provided along with a completed "Power of Attorney" form stamped with the company seal. The vehicle identification number (VIN) rubbing should be pasted in the corresponding section of the "Motor Vehicle Inspection Record Form."

Last year during the National Day holiday, I excitedly drove to the vehicle inspection center, thinking there would be no queue and I could get it done quickly. However, when I arrived at the gate, I found it tightly shut with a notice saying it was closed for the holiday. That’s when I realized that inspection centers usually don’t operate on public holidays because the staff also need time off to celebrate. Later, I called to inquire and learned that I needed to make an appointment in advance on a weekday. If you plan to go during a holiday, it’s best to check the specific hours on your phone first to avoid a wasted trip. Vehicle inspection is quite important as it relates to safety. I recommend scheduling your annual inspection on non-holidays—it’s more convenient and ensures your car is in good condition. By the way, you can follow announcements from the local traffic bureau, as they sometimes open specific inspection points during holidays, though this is rare.

Regarding whether vehicle inspection centers operate during holidays, I recall from my own experiences: most of the time they are closed for rest. Employees are on holiday too, as labor laws guarantee rest rights on public holidays. So it's best to avoid these days and schedule your vehicle inspection during regular working hours. If you're really pressed for time, try calling the local vehicle management office or searching online for more specific office hours. I remember a useful tip is to download the Traffic Management 12123 App, which provides real-time service information and can show which locations are open. Additionally, check your vehicle's condition in advance, such as brakes and lights, so you can get things done quickly and reduce waiting time. Safety first, after all, as delayed inspections might lead to fines or affect your insurance.

Vehicle inspection centers are usually closed during holidays. The staff are on vacation, so the doors are often shut. It's best not to go on these days; weekdays are the most convenient. It's recommended to check local announcements first and confirm the opening hours using government websites or apps. Otherwise, you'll waste time and effort. Don't delay your vehicle inspection; plan ahead.

Every time I drive my car for an inspection, I pay attention to the timing: it's definitely hard to find an open place during holidays. Why? Because everyone is on break, and service centers also follow statutory holiday schedules. If you want to avoid congestion, I recommend going on non-holidays and making an appointment early. You can try calling the hotline or checking the official public account for real-time status updates—some cities have duty stations, but they are few. Also, remember to bring all the necessary documents to avoid unnecessary hassle. Vehicle maintenance is crucial, and timely inspections help prevent potential failure risks. In short, don’t rely on luck; planning ahead is more reliable.
