Inspection & Maintenance by city
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.
