“Was real happy with Blake’s work on my pickup. He was very honest in what it needed and let me know what I could get away with without dropping too much money. Very honest and they got my truck in same day. Would highly recommend taking your vehicles here.”

“I was visiting Peterborough for a couple of days. I ran out of fuel across the road from Security Auto Centre and called CAA,they responded and could do nothing to held. I seen Security Auto as I started my walk. I went in to see them and after talking for a few minutes Steve told me to bring it over. Tow dropped it off in twenty minutes. While waiting for a bay to become busy one of the techs hooked it up to booster pack and had it running in seconds. They checked out a few other components on the truck which are fine . I asked how much and
Steve replayed we didn’t do anything so there charge. There’s one good CANDIAN taking care of another.
Thank you Steve and the rest of the technicians that helped me out

“Fast, friendly, knowledgeable service! When they say my appointment is 9am, they actually start working on the vehicle when I arrive, unlike some shops. Mackenzie at the desk is excellent! She explains everything in detail and there are no hidden surprises when you go to pay the bill. It feels great to be able to trust your mechanic shop.”

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 Peterborough? +
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.
