Pre-NCT Inspections

A pre-NCT check finds the things that would fail your car before the test centre sees them, so you can get them sorted and give the car its best chance of passing first time. We do it at JTK Remapping on the Youghal Road in Dungarvan, Co. Waterford.

What we check

We go over every part of the car we can see and reach, and check each one works as it should:

  • Suspension and shock absorbers
  • Brake linings and discs
  • Brake pipes and flexible hoses
  • Links and bushes
  • Headlight aim
  • Bulbs and lenses
  • Wipers and blades
  • Horn
  • Fluid and lubricant levels
  • Tyres and wheels

Warning lights on the dash

A warning light is worth sorting before the test day. Our vehicle diagnostics reads the fault behind it with dealer-level software, so you know exactly what needs fixing.

After the test

Passing the NCT doesn't mean the car can go another year without a look. Our general maintenance inspection covers the brakes, suspension, fluids, belts and tyres between tests, so small problems stay small.

Book your check

Book the pre-NCT check 1 or 2 weeks ahead of your test, so there's time to fix anything we find. Press Enquire Now and we'll get back to you with a day, or find directions on our contact page. Once you have a date in mind, you can book the test itself with the NCTS.
