You may require a vehicle inspection for many reasons: you’re purchasing a
car, you want to ensure your vehicle is safe, or because it’s a provincial
requirement. At Mckenzie Tireland we can help you with your vehicle
inspection.
Types of Vehicle Inspections
-
Out of Province Vehicle Inspection
– An out of province vehicle inspection is required when you purchase a
vehicle from a different province than you reside in. An out of
province vehicle inspection will ensure that your vehicle meets the
safety and equipment standards of the province where you live. We will
check every component of your vehicle to ensure that it meets all
provincial safety standards. This process will take approximately 2
hours to complete. We will advise you of any repairs that will need to
be completed on the vehicle and those repairs often need to be
completed within 10 days of the inspection in order to receive your
vehicle registration or else the inspection must be completed again.
-
Pre-purchase Vehicle Inspection
– If you’re considering purchasing a used vehicle, we recommend getting
a vehicle inspection to confirm that there are no underlying issues
with it. We want to help ensure that your money is invested into a good
quality vehicle that won’t be dangerous to you and your passengers and
getting a pre-purchase vehicle inspection is the best way to verify
that.
-
Commercial Vehicle Inspection
- Commercial vehicles must undergo an annual vehicle inspection; this
includes buses, trucks, light trucks, truck-tractors, semi-trailers,
and trailers. We can provide a quick and thorough inspection of your
commercial vehicle to get you back on the road as soon as possible.
-
Insurance Inspection
– If you are purchasing a vehicle within your province that is 12 years
old or older, you will often require a vehicle inspection in order for
the car to be insured. Our technicians will perform this type of
inspection to ensure that the vehicle is safe for you to drive.
-
12-point Vehicle Inspection
– We recommend getting a 12-point vehicle inspection once every 2 years
to verify that all aspects of your vehicle are working correctly (some
provinces have a mandatory requirement for annual vehicle inspections).
During a 12-point inspection, we will check the following components:
Fluid levels, Tires and tread wear, Wheel balance and alignment, Wiper
blades, Interior and exterior lights, Belts and hoses, Shocks and
struts, Brakes, Battery, Cabin filter.
We will inspect all these components of your vehicle to ensure that none of
them have any issues and are working correctly.
Why Are Vehicle Inspections Important?
Most issues don't become apparent until they've already begun to cause
problems. To have automotive difficulties is a hassle and puts your safety
at risk. That’s why getting a vehicle inspection once every two years is
important.
You can rest easy knowing that your car is in good working order and free
of potential safety hazards with the help of a thorough vehicle inspection.
It can also save you money down the road if we can catch a small issue to
prevent it from becoming a bigger issue later.
Bring your vehicle into Mckenzie Tireland for your next vehicle inspection.
