Vehicle inspection in Calgary.
Check engine light on, or a noise you cannot place? A full safety and mechanical inspection shows you the whole picture before you spend money on repairs.
A full inspection, not a guess
Even if you think you know where the trouble is coming from, we inspect the whole vehicle. That way we find the real source of the problem, and any other issues that have not shown up yet.
Car inspection is the most mentioned topic in our Google reviews, with 24 mentions.
What we look at
- Engine
- Brakes and tires
- Lights and electronic components
- Steering
- Suspension
- Exhaust
For warning lights we use Snap-on, Mac and OTC scan tools. See car diagnostics for more on how we track down a check engine light.
What happens next
You get a clear account of what we found. If anything needs work, you get a detailed quote for parts and labour before it starts, and nothing is added without your yes. Common follow-ups include brake repair, suspension and engine repair.
NAPA AutoPro parts and labour are covered by the 36 month, 60,000 km Peace of Mind warranty.
Inspections for a specific reason
Some inspections follow set rules and come with paperwork. If you need one of these, book it by name:
- Out of province inspection, to register a vehicle in Alberta
- Insurance inspection, often needed for vehicles 12 years or older
- ELVIS inspection, the yearly Uber and rideshare inspection
- Pre-purchase inspection, before you buy a used vehicle
- AMVIC inspection, for vehicles sold through an Alberta dealer
