QISJ is a third party, independent inspection company with no interest in trade of used motor vehicle,
general cargo or logistics. Our primary activity is in the area of inspection of goods and motor vehicles.
For motor vehicles, all inspections have to be performed in an inspection centre that is equipped with approved inspection facilities.
For PVoC inpections (machinery, tractors, trailers, spare parts), our inspectors will travel to the location of the items to perform inspection. This is subject to an off-site fee. Please contact us for a quote.
Best way to book an inspection is online via our booking page.
We usually post inspection certificate (by unrecorded post) the next day following an inspection. The postage may take up to 5 days. If
you have not received your certificate 5 days after inspection, it could be for the following reasons:
1. there is pending documentation (e.g logbook, MOT, IDF)
2. there is an outstanding invoice
3. the certificate has unfortunately got lost in the post
In the case of 3 above, we'll usually post another copy of the certificate free of charge.
We offer a recorded postage service for an additional fee. Please contact us for more information.
