Our customer was a German resident living on Mallorca, stuck in the island’s legendary ITV bottleneck — the kind where you book an appointment and by the time it arrives, your car is old enough for historic plates. He saw our Facebook ad promising Spanish registration in three weeks and immediately decided the mainland was the only place where cars still get processed before the next ice age. So he sent his Maserati to us… while he stayed in Germany enjoying coffee and Black Forest cake.
Background
Mallorca’s ITV system is currently running on island time: one year for an inspection. One. Full. Year. To make things even more fun, his 2004 Maserati Spyder didn’t even have a CoC — meaning that even if he did get an ITV appointment, he couldn’t pass it. He had tried everything: refreshing the ITV website, calling, begging, bargaining, spiritually ascending — nothing worked. So he ferried the car to Alicante and went back to Germany, trusting AB‑Motors to handle everything while he lived his best pastry‑based life.
What We Did
CoC Preparation Before the car even left Mallorca, we already had the Certificate of Conformity ready. No delays, no drama.
Intake The Maserati arrived Friday night. We took custody and started paperwork immediately.
ITV Monday morning appointment. Passed. No “come back next year,” no “missing documents,” no “Mallorca problems.”
Registration Paperwork filed the same day. Spanish plates issued by Thursday — four days after arrival.
Customer Status The owner remained in Germany the entire time, drinking coffee and eating cake while AB‑Motors did the work.
Results
The customer got his 2004 Maserati Spyder registered in four days, not twelve months. His original plan was “wait until 2027,” so yes — this was a significant upgrade. He never even had to show up. Mallorca → Alicante → fully registered, all while he was in Germany enjoying dessert.
AB‑Motors: we register your car while you eat cake.
Why This Matters
This story proves exactly why AB‑Motors exists: Spain is amazing, but its systems can be… interpretive. Mallorca’s ITV queue is a meme at this point, and we help customers escape it by using mainland efficiency, proper documentation, and actual competence — even if they’re thousands of kilometers away.
