Motor Vehicle Inspection (MVI)
A Motor Vehicle Inspection is the scheduled safety check required to keep your vehicle roadworthy in Nova Scotia. We walk through your vehicle, document what we find, and give you a clear picture of what is passing, what needs attention, and what is optional. (Looking at a vehicle before you buy it? That is our separate Pre-Purchase Inspection service.)
