Provincial Inspections for Vehicles Imported into BC

To register an imported vehicle or any private vehicle previously registered outside of BC, you will need to obtain a "passed" Vehicle Inspection Report from a Designated Inspection Facility (DIF) in BC (a DIF is an auto repairer or service shop that has been certified by Government to perform inspections).

For a complete list of DPIs visit http://www.th.gov.bc.ca

Type "Private Vehicle Inspections" in the Search box at the top of the home page and click GO. Click on the link to "List of Designated Inspection Facilities" at the bottom of the new page that comes up.

Note: the Federal Inspection is covered in the RIV fee of $195 which you are required to pay upon importing your vehicle.

Every designated inspection facility charges differently. Apollo Muffler ($39.99), Canadian Tire (+$100).
