Revision Tecnica (Riteve) in Costa Rica

The Revision Tecnica, commonly known as the Riteve, is a mandatory inspection required for all vehicles in Costa Rica. To save time and hassle, many expats opt to pay their trusted mechanic to take their vehicle for them. For an additional fee, mechanics will also do a pre-Riteve emissions test to ensure the car will pass on the first try. This extra money is well spent and recommended for anyone who owns an older car or truck.
