Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has introduced a new service for vehicle owners enabling them to book the timing for carrying out technical testing of their vehicles, hence saving time of the motorists.

An RTA press statement said it will run the service tentatively over a period of three months, through which it will be assessed in full to identify the positives, and work on areas that need improvement in order to provide a better service to various community members.

Ahmed Hashem Bahrozyan, CEO of RTA’s Licensing Agency, said: “Our clients, be it individual or corporate who have vehicles in their ownership, can contact the Licensing Agency through the toll-free Call Center of RTA (8009090) to book an appointment for technical testing of their vehicles, or directly contact the service centers listed on RTA’s website.”

“Following its trial launch in early June this year, the service will be up-and-running for three months. It would then be provided on permanent basis starting from mid of September this year to make room for improvements. The service is vital to vehicle owners as it enables them better plan and utilise their time in availing streamlined services in much shorter times. Saving time to vehicle owners translates into a cost-saving exercise, as it will enable them to have their vehicles tested in a specific timeline without affecting their other commitments and schedules,” he added.
