Who sets the price of an out-of-province inspection?

Alberta does not set the price of an out-of-province inspection. Each licensed facility decides what it charges for an inspection and for a re-inspection, and must post those rates where customers can see them. The owner pays for the inspection, and a re-inspection after repairs is priced separately, so ask about both before you book.

A listing on GarageMap is not a licence: confirm a shop is licensed for out-of-province inspections in the province’s Vehicle Inspection Facility Search. The steps, the 10-day repair window and the 14-day deadline to register are in our guide to out-of-province inspections in Alberta.
