At Superior Tire & Auto, we understand the importance of keeping your vehicle safe and roadworthy. That’s why we offer Motor Vehicle Inspection Station services to ensure your car, truck, or SUV meets Ontario’s safety standards. Our experienced and licensed technicians will conduct a thorough inspection of your vehicle to identify any safety issues and provide you with the necessary repairs to get you back on the road safely.
A Motor Vehicle Inspection (MVI) is a comprehensive safety inspection required by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation. It is designed to ensure that all vehicles on the road are safe and in good working condition. A Motor Vehicle Inspection is required when:
A Safety Certificate is a document issued by a licensed inspection station indicating that a vehicle has passed a safety inspection. The certificate is valid for 36 days from the date of issue and is required to register or transfer ownership of a used vehicle in Ontario. It is also required for out-of-province vehicles that are being registered in Ontario.
During a safety inspection, our licensed technicians will inspect various components of your vehicle, including:
Brakes: The brake system is inspected to ensure it is working properly and has sufficient stopping power.
Steering and Suspension: The steering and suspension system is checked to ensure it is functioning properly and is not worn or damaged.
Tires and Wheels: The condition of the tires and wheels is checked to ensure they are safe and in good condition.
Lighting: The headlights, taillights, turn signals, and other lights are inspected to ensure they are working properly.
Horn: The horn is checked to ensure it is working properly.
Windshield and Windows: The windshield and windows are inspected to ensure they are not cracked or damaged and that the wipers are working properly.
Vehicle Structure: The vehicle structure is inspected to ensure there is no damage or corrosion that could affect its safety.
If your vehicle fails a safety inspection, our licensed technicians will provide you with a detailed report outlining the issues that need to be addressed. We will work with you to prioritize the repairs based on the severity of the issues and your budget. Once the repairs have been completed, we will re-inspect your vehicle and issue a Safety Certificate if it passes.
