“I needed a vehicle safety inspection and Port Moody Auto and Air were able to expedite the inspection and replacement tires for me. Kasra and Daniella and the whole team were very professional, thorough and kind. I would highly recommend this shop.”

“I needed the A/C refrigerant removed before doing a repair, so I called expecting to make an appointment. They told me to just drop by. The parking lot was packed when I arrived, but I was only there for 30 minutes — incredible service.<br><br>I’ve been recommending this shop for years. I bought a radiator from them about 20 years ago when they were in Port Moody, and they also resealed a vintage radiator for my dad over 30 years ago that’s still working today.<br><br>They’re busy for a reason: fair pricing, quality work, and they get you through quickly. Highly recommended.”

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 Port Coquitlam? +
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.
