Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspection — questions we hear often
Is this the same as a Safety Standards Certificate?
No. A pre-purchase inspection is an advisory report for the buyer. A Safety Standards Certificate is a provincial document issued only when a vehicle meets Ontario's requirements.
Can you inspect a vehicle at the seller's location?
Inspections are performed at our shop at 1271 Kennedy Road, where we have hoists and proper equipment.
Will you tell me not to buy it?
We will tell you exactly what we found and what it is likely to cost. The decision stays yours.
