Out-of-Province Vehicle Inspection in Calgary

Book Now

YOUR FIRST STEP TO ALBERTA PLATES

Before a vehicle from another province can be registered in Alberta, it has to pass an out-of-province inspection at a licensed facility. Sheni’s Auto Trend has specialized in European cars since 1987, and we’re a licensed inspection facility, so whether you’ve brought in a BMW from Ontario or a family SUV from BC, our licensed journeyperson technicians check it against Alberta’s safety and equipment standards and give you a straight answer. And if your European car needs work to pass, it’s in the hands of people who work on these cars every day, not a shop learning on your vehicle.

PASS OR FAIL, WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED

One licensed shop for the inspection and any repairs. If we fix it here, there’s no clock running: your vehicle stays with us until it’s ready to pass.

If it passes

You get your inspection certificate and record on the spot. Take them to an Alberta registry within 14 days and you’re on the road with Alberta plates.

If it doesn’t

We show you exactly what failed and why, with a clear quote. Have us do the repairs and there’s no deadline, since the vehicle never leaves the shop. If you’d rather repair it elsewhere, bring it back within 14 days for re-inspection.

EUROPEAN SPECIALISTS. LICENSED FOR EVERY MAKE.

What do we check?

The inspection follows Alberta’s standard checklist: brakes, steering and suspension, tires and wheels, lights and electrical, glass and wipers, exhaust, seat belts, and the overall condition of the body and frame.
