Plus Katsastus: booking, stations and inspection dates

Choose the station for the service

Plus Katsastus lists periodic inspections as well as modification and registration inspections. Its station directory includes Kajaani, Kangasala, Kannus, Kauhajoki, Mäntsälä and Savari in Ylivieska. In Lahti, the listed stations include Holma and Laune.

Open the station page before planning the journey. Check the service name, visiting address and booking channel. The Kuopio Väliköntie page tells customers to contact the station directly for motorhome, N2 vehicle, modification and registration inspection appointments. An ordinary passenger-car booking is therefore not the starting point for every vehicle.

Station details and service differences were checked against the chain's information on 13 November 2026. A registration inspection and administrative registration transactions are different services.

HelppoKatsastus and older search results

The chain's announcement says that HelppoKatsastus now operates under the Plus Katsastus name. It identifies Kivenlahti in Espoo, Väliköntie in Kuopio and Allastie in Raisio. If an older confirmation says HelppoKatsastus, compare its address with the current station information.

The official visiting address for the Tuotekatu station in Raisio is Tuotekatu 8b. Allastie appears separately in the chain's directory. Use the visiting address displayed on the page for navigation: a web address can retain an earlier station name. Combining the details of two branches in one city makes an otherwise simple booking unnecessarily confusing.

Understand the total inspection price

Kuopio Väliköntie's price list separates periodic inspection, statutory measurements and reinspection. It also states that a Traficom supervision fee is added to inspection prices. A promotional amount in a search result therefore does not establish the final price for your vehicle.

Before confirming, check the selected service, the measurements your vehicle needs and the items included in the total. Väliköntie lists electric-car inspections separately. For a useful comparison between stations, use the same vehicle and service combination. Consult the chosen station's booking view for prices and available appointments.

When is a passenger car inspected?

Traficom's guidance sets the first periodic inspection for an ordinary passenger car no later than four years after first use. Subsequent intervals are at most two years; cars over ten years old are inspected annually. This is the basic schedule for an ordinary privately used passenger car.

Vehicle category and use affect the schedule. For example, a taxi must be checked under its own category. These rules were checked with Traficom on 13 November 2026.

What happens after a failed inspection?

Traficom requires reinspection within one month of a failed inspection. You can choose the inspection station. If that period expires, a complete new inspection is required.

The reinspection deadline is not permission to drive: use of the vehicle depends on the decision, defects and original inspection period. Read Traficom's vehicle-use guidance alongside your own certificate. Arrange repairs and reinspection separately so that the work happens in the necessary order.

Change a booking and plan other car services

The Plus Katsastus contact page directs customers to Heppu for booking, moving or cancelling an appointment. After a change, check the station, date and vehicle details in the confirmation. Keep the latest confirmation so an obsolete appointment does not remain in your calendar.
