Thorough, every time
There is no such thing as a “minor” finding when it comes to brakes, tyres or suspension. We check every vehicle as if it were our own — we are not in a hurry to finish, we are in a hurry to be sure.
About us
Two brothers, one signature on every test
A family-run private KTEO inspection centre in Agios Nikolaos, Crete, since August 2012.

Our story
KTEO Agios Nikolaos opened in August 2012, founded by two brothers, Nikos and Manolis Papadakis.
Their relationship with vehicles began many years before 2012. When they decided to open their own inspection centre, it was not as an investment — it was because they knew the job, and because they believed the area needed a test centre that worked properly and treated people with respect.
14 years on, our team includes 3 mechanical engineers and 2 office staff. We run two independent inspection lines — one for cars and one just for motorcycles — and serve private drivers, professionals and businesses from Agios Nikolaos to Ierapetra.
We do our job properly. We check every vehicle thoroughly, as if it were our own, and we look after every customer with care and a smile. We are not in a hurry to finish — we are in a hurry to be sure.
How we work
Three things we never change
We explain what we found
We do not just hand you a piece of paper and say goodbye. All three of our inspectors are mechanical engineers, and they tell you in plain words what they saw and what to watch out for.
We are your neighbours
In a small community, your reputation is everything. Our customers are people we will meet at the market tomorrow — and that keeps us honest.
