What Is the BC CVSE Vehicle Inspection Program?
The Vehicle Inspection & Standards Program encompasses both private and commercial vehicles operating on British Columbia highways. The program is dedicated to improving vehicle safety and reducing the risk of mechanical failures that can impact drivers, passengers, and other road users.
Through the application of the British Columbia Motor Vehicle Act, Motor Vehicle Act Regulations, Vehicle Inspection Manual, and Canadian vehicle manufacturing standards, the Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement (CVSE) branch works to ensure only safe and roadworthy vehicles are operating on BC roads.
Who Performs CVSE Inspections?
CVSE inspections are completed by trade-qualified mechanics who have been authorized by the Province of British Columbia as Authorized Inspectors. These inspections must be conducted at approved Designated Inspection Facilities.
At A Plus Automotive, our experienced technicians understand the requirements and standards associated with provincial vehicle inspections and work diligently to ensure each vehicle receives a thorough evaluation.
