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

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.

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.

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.

A standard safety inspection takes 30-60 minutes. A comprehensive pre-purchase inspection with a full road test takes 1 to 2 hours.
