The MFK technical inspection is mandatory in Switzerland — and a single faulty bulb or worn tyres can send you back for a re-test. At RedHat Garage in Sugiez we carry out a thorough pre-inspection check: we look at what MFK inspectors flag most often, fix defects in advance and help you book the right appointment if needed. Less stress, better chance of passing first time.
Request a diagnosis or repair — we reply fast, usually the same day.
The cost for the MFK preparation depends on the condition and model of your vehicle. After an initial inspection, you will receive a detailed, written cost estimate from us before we begin any work, giving you full control over the scope and expenses. For an accurate quote, we require your vehicle's details, ideally a copy of the vehicle registration document. Please send this to us via WhatsApp or our contact form.
The easiest way to book an appointment for the MFK preparation is in writing. Please send us a message on WhatsApp or use the 'Request an Appointment' form on our website. Kindly include the vehicle identification number or a photo of the vehicle registration document. We will then contact you with a proposed appointment, usually within a few working days. For urgent matters, please mention this in your request.
During the MFK preparation, we inspect all safety-relevant components that are also checked by the experts at the Motor Vehicle Inspection (MFK). This includes the braking system, lighting, tyres, chassis, and the exhaust system. We focus on the most common defects to ensure your vehicle passes the inspection on the first attempt. We will discuss any identified issues with you before proceeding with repairs.
Yes, if required, we can also assist you with scheduling the appointment for the Motor Vehicle Inspection. After we have inspected your vehicle and rectified any defects, we can book a suitable inspection date for you. Our goal is to make the entire process as simple and stress-free as possible for you, from the technical preparation to the actual inspection. This helps you save time and administrative effort.
A professional pre-inspection increases the chance of passing the MFK on the first try. Even minor defects, such as a faulty light bulb or worn tyres, can lead to a failed result and a costly re-inspection. We identify and resolve such issues in advance, which not only saves you stress but also time and additional expenses. This allows you to approach the official inspection with confidence.
The MFK compliance of vehicle modifications depends heavily on the specific part and the vehicle model. As part of our MFK preparation, we individually assess whether a modification is permissible or needs to be officially registered. We clarify the specific requirements for your vehicle and discuss the procedure with you before carrying out any work. Our aim is to ensure a correct and smooth presentation at the Motor Vehicle Inspection.
