Frequently asked questions about Autotohtori and other services

The Autotohtori inspection is a comprehensive vehicle condition inspection that covers almost 100 different checkpoints, which means that the Autotohtori service is a much more thorough check than a simple periodic inspection. For example, an Autotohtori inspection will measure the boiling point of the brake fluids and the freezing resistance of the coolant, the tyre pressures and the tyre tread, and check the operation of all electrical equipment. The detected faults and deficiencies are also assessed on a broader scale than during a vehicle inspection.

In the nationwide appointment booking, you can book the inspection and the Autotohtori service for the same reservation, in which case you are booking one combined longer timeslot. The duration of the Autotohtori inspection is about 60 minutes. In connection with the vehicle inspection, the price of a Autotohtori service is €79. If an Autotohtori service is booked without the vehicle inspection, it costs €99. Please note that there are less times available for the Autotohtori service than there is for the periodic inspections. The Autotohtori service is available for cars and vans with a total mass of 3500 kg or less.

You can subscribe to an inspection reminder for cars, vans, campers, moped cars, heavy vehicles or quad bikes at the Muistakatsastus.fi service. Trailers are not included in the regular reminders.

Yes, you can. We check the vehicle data in the VIS before sending reminders to make sure that cars have not changed ownership or that the cars have not already been scrapped. In the case of business customers, it is possible to get a reminder for a vehicle if the information provided to us matches the company/registration number combination found in the business customer register. This also applies to vehicles without a second holder.

The best benefit is obtained if the removal is carried out once a year on average, or if there is a high accumulation of mileage, at intervals of about 30,000 kilometres, i.e. even before the accumulation of dirt in the engine causes problems.

When driving, a fuel-powered engine accumulates carbon deposits. Carbon deposits in the engine can also cause smoke and jerking of the engine. When the engine is cleaned with a cleaning agent and the fire event in the engine is intensified, the vehicle produces less emissions and also consumes less fuel. In addition, the wear of the engine and its components is slowed down.
