The Government ends the VTV monopoly and allows private workshops to conduct the inspection.

The Government of Javier Milei has moved forward with a new key deregulation and announced that starting this Wednesday, June 3, a registration will open for authorized private mechanical workshops to carry out the Mandatory Technical Review of vehicles, commonly known as VTV.

The measure was confirmed after the lifting of a judicial precautionary measure that was halting the implementation of the new scheme. With this step, the liberal administration aims to end the monopoly of traditional verification plants, increase competition, and offer more alternatives to users.

The Chief of Staff, Manuel Adorni, announced that the registration will open for authorized private mechanical workshops to conduct the technical review. He stated that with this decision, “the monopoly of VTV plants is over.”

The change is part of the modifications introduced by Decree 196/2025 in the Traffic Law and includes the creation of the National Register of Technical Vehicle Inspection Workshops. This registry will operate under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Economy's Transportation Secretariat, will be public, free, and digital.

Under the new system, any workshop that meets the required technical standards will be able to register to conduct inspections. Registration will be done through a sworn declaration, and establishments must have a responsible Technical Director, operational capacity, adequate equipment, and compliance with current road safety procedures.
