Just got my 93 Civic tested at Canadian Tire near Richmond and Sarcee.

Heard some negative remarks about Cdn Tire but my car passed with no problems. I even had a B20B in place of the stock engine but the mechanic didn't care... or didn't notice. :thumbsup:

Cost me around $130.

thats because the mechanic probably didn't do it, he just had one of his "apprentices" do it and he signed off on it. i hate canadian tire for that stuff. the pay someone minimum wage to do the mechanics jobs.

The OPI is a safety inspection, they ony lift the hood to check the frame rails and brake fluid etc, you could have a Mr. Fusion power inverter cross connected to a Tri-ambic rhobulator and it would pass.

unfortunatley thats not what the registry says, I had a safety inspection done, but they said I need an out of province and they're much more detailed???

I dont care who does it or where it is, I just need one cheap and fast.

but I do need an alignment lol maybe ill check those guys out, or if anyone else can help, let me know.

thanks.

Well any body knows one or had one done?

I just Bought a Jetta TDI from Ontario.
It will be Here in about 10 days now I need a Out of province Inspection.
What I'm afraid off is that the Shop is going to make up stuff to make some extra dough.
I'm a Heavy duty mechanic myself but unfortunatly I can not do the Out of provice one since my shop does not do on road Vehicles

Well after a certain year it was mandatory for cars to have DRL.. i think your car is too old for it to have to have them.

any mechanic passing a car that is unsafe and doesnt conform to provincial standards can get fined or their ticket suspended.

getting an apprentice to do it, or 'checking blinkers and brake fluid' isn't allowed.

what they mandate or 'suggest' is the flat rate, not what the shop charges for it, which is reflected in the different prices.

I think our shop charges like an hour or 1.5 hours for an out of province inspection, and only a few of our techs do them. they dont piss around either, they actually do it properly.
