Drivers in Dubai can now complete their vehicle inspections while doing their grocery shopping, with a new mobile service launched at two Union Coop locations.
Union Coop, in partnership with ABER Vehicle Testing, a vehicle inspection provider licensed by Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), has launched the mobile vehicle inspection service.
The service is currently available at Etihad Mall and Dubai Silicon Oasis, where ABER mobile units carry out official vehicle inspections.
The service will be expanded to other Union Coop locations in phases.
The mobile inspection units use specialised equipment and operate under the regulations, operational requirements and safety standards approved by the RTA.
The service allows customers to complete their official vehicle inspection without making a separate trip to a traditional vehicle testing centre.
Mohamed Al Hashemi, Chief Executive Officer of Union Coop, said: “Vehicle inspection has always meant lost time. A separate trip, waiting, extra planning in an already full day. Today we remove that step, and customers complete their inspection while they shop.
“We are not simply adding a service. We are giving people their time back. That is the value we are building at Union Coop: turning our locations into integrated community destinations that deliver real services in one place, and save customers time instead of consuming it.”
Further locations will be announced as the service expands.
