Inspection & Maintenance in Alberta

99 inspection and maintenance shops across Alberta

Scheduled maintenance and provincial inspections keep a vehicle road-legal and catch faults before they turn into repairs. Shops here perform out-of-province inspections, commercial vehicle inspections, insurance inspections, and manufacturer-interval servicing covering filters, fluids, belts and brake wear.

Frequently asked questions

What is an out-of-province inspection?

Alberta requires a mechanical inspection before registering a vehicle brought in from another province or country. Licensed facilities in Alberta carry it out and issue the certificate.

How often should I service my car?

Follow the interval in your owner's manual, typically every 8,000 to 12,000 km. Short trips and cold-weather driving shorten it considerably.

What happens if my vehicle fails an inspection?

The facility issues a list of defects. You may have them repaired there or elsewhere, then return for a re-inspection within the permitted window.

Do I need an appointment for an inspection in Alberta?

Almost always. A full inspection takes one to three hours, so shops schedule them in advance rather than accepting walk-ins.
