Annual Safety Inspections

Commercial Vehicle Notes:

In Ontario, commercial vehicles are required to complete annual safety inspections to make sure they are safe, reliable, and meet provincial regulations. These inspections are carried out at DriveON-certified inspection stations by our licensed technicians who check important components such as: brakes, steering, suspension, lights, tires, and other critical safety systems. The goal is to ensure your vehicle is road-ready and operating safely for both drivers and the public.

​

The Ontario DriveON program is a modern, fully digital inspection system that replaces traditional paper certificates. Inspection results are securely recorded and submitted electronically, creating a clear and accurate record for vehicle owners, fleets, and regulators. Once your vehicle passes, its safety inspection is documented in the DriveON system, helping streamline compliance, registration, and future inspections. This digital process makes annual safety inspections faster, more transparent, and more convenient for commercial vehicle owners.

​

Everyday Personal Vehicle Notes:

When your vehicle passes its inspection at a DriveON-certified inspection station, you receive a Safety Standards Certificate that confirms it met Ontario’s minimum safety requirements on the day of inspection. This certificate is required for things like registering a vehicle from another province, transferring ownership, or changing a vehicle’s status from unfit to fit.
