Vehicle Safety Inspections in Waubaushene, ON
Certified Safety Checks with Honest Service and Care
What’s Included in a Vehicle Safety Inspection?
A vehicle safety inspection is crucial to confirm that your car or truck meets the minimum safety standards required by Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation (MTO). Whether registering a used vehicle, transferring ownership, importing a vehicle from another province, or simply ensuring your car is safe to drive, this inspection is both a legal requirement and a smart safety measure. At Fesserton Auto, our comprehensive safety inspections are performed by ASE-certified technicians who follow MTO guidelines and use state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment for the most accurate evaluations. We carefully examine and assess all key safety components of your vehicle to ensure they are in proper working order. Our inspection includes:
- Brakes and brake lines
- Steering and suspension components
- Tires, wheels, and rims
- Exhaust and fuel systems
- Windshield wipers, washers, and defrosters
- Lights, signals, and electrical systems
- Body condition, mirrors, and glass
Every inspection at Fesserton Auto is conducted with care, transparency, and integrity. Our technicians take the time to document any issues thoroughly and explain what needs to be repaired—and why. If your vehicle does not meet the MTO standards, we will provide a straightforward repair plan and accurate estimate to bring it into compliance. Once all components pass inspection, we issue a Safety Standards Certificate, valid for 36 days. Our commitment to accuracy, fairness, and customer-first service, Fesserton Auto makes safety inspections stress-free and straightforward. Whether you’re preparing to sell a vehicle or want peace of mind that your car is truly roadworthy, we’re here to help.
