Verified Reviews for Vehicle Inspection

“Having retired, and just moved up to Nottawa 2 yrs ago from the Brampton area, I was looking for a new mechanic. I came across this new shop that opened up recently on HWY 124. Nottawa.
So I made an appt.
Randy took me in right away and basically had it diagnosed soon after.
The pricing was very reasonable and much better than other shops.
I have no hesitation to go back.
Thanks Randy.”

“I had an issue with a smoky wheel on my car on a Sunday, and the team at Midas Collingwood came to my rescue. They quickly diagnosed the problem, explained everything clearly, and fixed it efficiently. I really appreciate that they were open on a Sunday and got me safely back on the road. The staff were friendly, professional, and honest throughout the process. Excellent customer service and highly recommended. Thank you, Midas Collingwood team!”

“I dont often leave a 5 star review but this place really deserves it.
My 2013 van needed a lower ball joint on the front end. I found it when I swapped out my tires from winter to summer.
Normally I'd do this myself but I needed the van for the weekend and it would still need a wheel alignment that I dont have equipment to do.
I've dealt with Mike's before for some muffler work and had a good experience.
Took the van in on wednesday and Got it back the same day at a decent price. Not free, not cheap, but a price no one would consider excessive knowing they pretty much disassembled my front left drive system on a salt driven, northern vehicle.
Never a fun job.
So, so, many ways to take advantage of this repair and jack up the price that an unscrupulous place would have taken advantage of. No funny business here.
Next time I go past im taking in donuts.
These folk deserve it.”

Vehicle Inspection Tips

Always get a pre-purchase inspection before buying any used vehicle—it's the best \$150-\$200 investment you can make
Address known issues before bringing your vehicle in for a safety inspection to avoid re-inspection fees
Keep your inspection report as documentation for insurance and resale value
Budget for potential repairs—inspection failures often involve brakes, tires, or rust remediation
Book your out-of-province inspection promptly after moving to avoid registration delays
Ask the inspector to walk you through any noted deficiencies so you understand the full scope of repairs needed

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a vehicle inspection cost in Collingwood? +
A standard provincial safety inspection costs $100-$200. Pre-purchase inspections are typically $150-$250. Commercial CVIP inspections range from $200-$400 depending on vehicle class.
What happens if my vehicle fails inspection? +
The inspector will provide a detailed list of items that must be repaired. Once repairs are completed, you return for a re-inspection (often at a reduced fee) to verify the issues are resolved.
Is a pre-purchase inspection really worth it? +
Absolutely. A $150 inspection can save you thousands by uncovering hidden problems like frame rust, transmission issues, or prior accident damage that aren't visible to untrained eyes.
How long does a vehicle inspection take? +
A standard safety inspection takes 30-60 minutes. A comprehensive pre-purchase inspection with a full road test takes 1 to 2 hours.
