Introduction

The Vehicle Inspection Program mirrors that of the other provinces and territories. We inspect and monitor vehicles coming into the province and vehicles that have been in a collision to maintain a safe highway system. Out-of-province inspections must be conducted in a licensed facility, by a journeyperson technician. All inspection facilities are licensed by the Vehicle Inspection Program.
