Is a Notice & Order inspection the same as a general vehicle inspection?
No. A general vehicle inspection is a voluntary assessment — for example, a pre-purchase inspection or a multi-point safety check. A Notice & Order inspection is required by a provincial enforcement document and must be performed at an authorized Designated Inspection Facility.
Is a Notice & Order inspection the same as an Out-of-Province inspection?
No. An Out-of-Province inspection is required when bringing a vehicle into BC from another province for registration purposes. A Notice & Order inspection is a separate requirement triggered by a provincial enforcement document. K-Tech Automotive performs both types of inspection as an authorized DIF.
