Vehicles New to BC Inspection in Vancouver

Licensed inspection scope

The BC Vehicle Inspection Facilities listing supplied for Extra Care identifies the shop as licensed to inspect Class 1 – Light Vehicles (cars & light trucks) and Vehicles New to BC. Facility number: #S20305.

Inspection requirements depend on why a vehicle has been referred or requires inspection. Bring any notice, registration or other documents related to the inspection so the shop can confirm the correct process.

Start with the instruction you received

Not every vehicle entering BC follows exactly the same process. Use the registration, inspection or government instructions that apply to your vehicle. If the vehicle has been directed to an inspection, Extra Care can confirm the appointment details for the facility’s listed “Vehicles New to BC” scope.

Preparing the vehicle

A vehicle should arrive in a condition suitable for inspection. Obvious safety or operating concerns are worth addressing before the appointment if you already know about them.

• Check lamps, signals and basic controls
• Confirm tires are in serviceable condition
• Address obvious windshield/wiper issues
• Bring any import or registration documents connected to the inspection

Official information: Vehicle owners can verify designated inspection facilities and current BC inspection information through the Province of British Columbia’s Vehicle Inspection Facilities and Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement resources. Requirements can change, so official instructions should take priority over general website guidance.
