Motor Vehicle Inspection Shops and Mechanics

The motor vehicle inspection program is delivered by provincially licensed technicians employed at provincially licensed private repair shops throughout the province.

In the case of light trucks, vans, taxis and private passenger vehicles, the technicians ensure that vehicles are in compliance with standards and requirements mandated in the Official Inspection Station Manual.

In the case of commercial vehicles with gross mass over 4,500 kilograms, including trucks, truck-tractors, trailers and buses, the technicians ensure vehicles comply with requirements mandated in the newest version of National Safety Code, Standard 11 (Periodic Commercial Motor Vehicle Inspections).
