HU is the abbreviation for the classic main inspection. AU stands for exhaust gas testing and is usually part of the HU of the car. Both abbreviations are often mentioned together as HU/AU to illustrate that the costs relate to HU and AU.

The path to your sticker
Book an appointment
First, you book your periodical vehicle inspection online. To do this, select your desired date in the calendar. You will then receive a confirmation email from us.

Safety inspection
As a partner of KÜS, we carry out the safety and emissions inspection (HU/AU), just like what you are used to from other testing organizations. If you pass the inspection, your car will receive the new inspection sticker.

Debriefing
Immediately after the inspection, we will explain all acute deficiencies to you and point out upcoming problems. We would also be happy to explain the inspection report to you.

Do you have any questions?
We have the answers
The general inspection (HU) and the exhaust gas test represent an appointment that most people are reluctant to attend. The test is usually time-consuming and often involves long waiting times. Not so with Holdeineplakette.de: At our test centers, we ensure that the main inspection is carried out quickly and that you can drive with your new test sticker as soon as possible. Yet we keep an eye on everything and ensure that you are safe on the road. After all, this is the reason why the main inspection is defined in the StVZO. Thanks to our pick-up service (at a cost of 7€), you don't even have to show up on site for an appointment in Schwabach yourself. Simply book a time for us to pick up your vehicle from your home. A delivery service is also included so that you can get your car or motorcycle back after the main inspection. This is how the HU/AU takes place conveniently and easily!
No - on HolDeinePlakette.de you can only book an appointment for HolDeinePlakette's vehicle inspection centers. HolDeinePlakette is a partner of KÜS and therefore independent of TÜV Süd. Both organizations have an equivalent license and carry out the general inspection for cars according to the same standards.
The “TÜV” is the technical monitoring association — it includes several sub-organizations, such as TÜV Rheinland, TÜV Süd and TÜV Hessen, which are authorized to carry out the HU in Germany. In addition to the TÜV organizations, there are other testing organizations in Germany that have an equivalent license to carry out the main inspection on the car. This also includes KÜS.
