Out of Province Inspection (most vehicles): $179.95 ($188.95 with GST)

Re-inspection (repairs done elsewhere): Half hour labor

Simple re-inspection (windshield, bulb replacement): No charge

Larger vehicles: Heavier trucks may have additional charges due to extra time needed to disassemble brakes for measurement. We'll tell you before we start.

Our guarantee: You will never receive a bill higher than you have authorized.

First—don't panic. Many vehicles need minor repairs to pass. Common issues include worn brake pads, cracked windshield, burned out bulbs, worn suspension components, or insufficient tire tread.

You have options:

• Have us do the repairs — We'll give you an estimate upfront. No surprises.
• Go elsewhere — You can have repairs done at any shop. Return here for re-inspection (half hour labor charge).
• Do it yourself — Same deal. Return for re-inspection when complete.

The 10-day rule: You have 10 days to complete repairs and get re-inspected. After that, the inspection expires and you'll need to start over with a new full inspection. This is a government program rule, not ours.
