Motorists desperate to have their vehicles inspected can now turn to a list of approved garages, from today, as the Barbados Licensing Authority (BLA) moves to ease the crushing congestion that has plagued its Pine, St Michael headquarters since October’s system crash.
Chief Licensing Officer Treca McCarthy-Broomes confirmed last night, that customers may “proceed to any one of the approved garages” for inspections, describing the measure as a key step to relieving the long waits and repeated trips that have frustrated thousands of vehicle owners.
The list of approved garages includes well-known and established companies such as Nassco, Courtesy, Ansa, Inchcape and United Commercial Autoworks Ltd, among others, which are named in the Road Traffic Approved Garages Designated Order 2025.
The roll-out comes as the BLA continues battling the aftermath of an electrical failure that crippled its outdated IT infrastructure, a collapse that left core licensing and registration services barely functional. (JRN/NS)
