Auto Mechanics Could Soon
Perform Annual Vehicular
Inspection
While auto mechanics cheer the
possibility in the future of
performing the revisión técnica
(annual vehicular inspection)
that is now performed by Riteve
S.A., the proposal has made a
move in the Legislative Assembly
that would make that future a
reality a lot sooner than
expected.
Yesterday, a commission made up
of legislators voted in favour
of a proposed law that would
open the door for auto mechanic
shops, along with technical
colleges and government
institutions to offer the public
service.
The proposal is being headed by
former legislative deputy and
presidential candidate, José
Miguel Corrales, but is
currently being sponsored in the
Legislative Assembly by the
Partido Acción Ciudadana (PAC)
deputy, Alberto Salom.
Before the law can be presented
to the legislature for
discussion and voting it still
has a long way to go. The
proposal is still in the
committee stage and though it
has a lot of support, there is a
large opposition as well in
taking away the annual vehicular
inspection away from the
Spanish/Costa Rican consortion
of Riteve.
Once the proposal has passed
through the committee stages it
can then be presented to the
Assembly for voting.
Officials of Riteve have been
quiet and not willing to discuss
the subject.
