A CVIP (Commercial Vehicle Inspection Program) inspection includes a full safety and mechanical evaluation of the vehicle to ensure it meets provincial roadworthiness standards. We inspect critical systems such as brakes, steering, suspension, tires, wheels, lighting, frame condition, and air systems. For heavy-duty trucks and trailers, we also check for structural integrity, fluid leaks, and wear-related damage. The goal is to ensure the vehicle is safe to operate on public roads and compliant with regulations. A detailed report is provided, highlighting any defects or required repairs before approval.

Yes, CVIP is required for most heavy-duty commercial vehicles that operate on public roads, including trucks and trailers used for transport, logistics, and industrial work. The purpose of CVIP is to ensure that all commercial vehicles meet minimum safety standards before they are allowed to operate. However, specific requirements may vary depending on vehicle type, weight, and usage category. Compliance is mandatory, and failure to maintain valid inspection certification can result in penalties or restricted vehicle operation.

Yes, we provide complete repair services after a failed CVIP inspection. Once the inspection report is issued, our technicians can carry out all necessary repairs in-house, including brake repairs, suspension fixes, lighting corrections, structural adjustments, and more. This integrated approach saves time since the vehicle does not need to be moved to another facility. After repairs are completed, we re-inspect the vehicle to ensure it meets all CVIP standards before it is approved for road use again.

The duration of a full CVIP inspection depends on the size and condition of the vehicle, but it typically takes a few hours to complete for most trucks and trailers. If multiple issues are found or if the vehicle is part of a fleet inspection batch, the time may vary. We conduct a thorough step-by-step evaluation to ensure nothing is missed, so accuracy is prioritized over speed. Once completed, we provide a full report immediately outlining the inspection results and any required repairs.

If a vehicle fails a CVIP inspection, we provide a detailed report outlining all the defects and non-compliance issues that need to be addressed. The vehicle is not approved for road use until the necessary repairs are completed and a re-inspection is passed. We also prioritize explaining the severity of each issue so the owner understands what needs immediate attention versus what can be scheduled. Once repairs are completed, we perform a follow-up inspection to ensure the vehicle meets all safety and regulatory standards.

Yes, brakes, steering, and suspension systems are among the most critical components we inspect during CVIP. We carefully evaluate brake performance, air or hydraulic pressure systems, steering response, and suspension integrity to ensure safe handling and stopping capability. Any signs of wear, leakage, misalignment, or failure are documented in the inspection report. These systems are essential for vehicle safety, especially in heavy-duty applications, so they receive a detailed and thorough assessment to ensure full compliance with safety standards.
