Vehicle Ownership Transfer Safety Certificate — questions we hear often
Do family transfers always need a safety certificate?
Rules differ by situation and can change. Confirm current requirements with ServiceOntario, and call us if you would like help understanding what applies.
How long does the inspection take?
Usually about an hour when no repairs are needed. Same-day appointments are often available.
Can you certify a vehicle that has been sitting for years?
We can inspect it. Vehicles stored a long time often need brake and tire work first, and we will quote it before proceeding.
