10 to 30 people will work at the privately run technical inspection centre, whilst the entire set at large will have up to 150 employees.
A new vehicle inspection centre will soon open its doors in Lorentzweiler. The Luerenzweiler Kontrollstatioun, LUKS in short, will be privately run, as opposed to the state-owned SNCT which has recently faced criticism for its price increases.
According to the construction plans, the inspection centre will boast four tracks for cars and trucks. The station will be situated next to the A7 motorway and aims to have the capacity to inspect 40,000 vehicles a year.
Officials hope that the centre's efficiency and attractive opening times will convince new clients to use it. There is no need to sit around in your car for ages: a mechanic will do the inspection while you have a coffee, one of the managers informed us.
The prices have not yet been fixed but it will probably not be possible to offer the former price of Sandweiler's SNTC centre. As a reminder, SNTC currently charges €52 while DEKRA inspects your car for €59.
The man behind the new inspection centre
Allain Dasthy is an automobile expert and the man behind the new centre.
Thinking big, he hopes to gradually expand his inspection centre's offer as soon as it opens in April or May. Apart from the inspection centre itself, there will be numerous offices, small shops, and restaurants.
A local on-site bakery will also open.
Former SNTC director Armaud Biberich will be the new director of Lorentzweiler's vehicle inspection centre.
