I am looking at buying a car from Vancover BC, I know i will need the out of province inspection done. My question is, do i get the inspection done in BC before bringing the car here or do i get it done here in Calgary?? If in Calagry, can any mechanic shop do this inspection or does it have to be certian certified shops??

Has to be done in Calgary, i'm pretty sure they have to be certified as well, because when I got one done a bunch said that they dont do it etc...

Do a search...this has been brought up many times in regards to JDM importing. There are a bunch of shops that people have recommended so I'd check those out. There are shops that will do inspections and try to screw you by saying stuff needs to be fixed that is really functioning fine in order to get them some business.

i took my car to Marc @ Alpineautowerks for the safety inspection. not sure how different the out of province inspection is. give him a call and see what the costs are.

The shop needs to have a mechanic that has a license to do Out of province inspections, which is different from just a safety inspection. I would be aware of shops that will find 'stuff' that needs repair just to get some extra $$$ out of it!
