What is a Safety Standards Certificate?

In Ontario you need a Safety Standards Certificate to register a used vehicle you bought or to put plates on it. A licensed inspection station checks brakes, tires, lights, steering and more. The certificate is only good for 36 days, so time it with your sale.

Before you goFix the obvious stuff first: burnt-out bulbs, worn wipers, low tire tread.
Ask the shop“If it fails, is the re-inspection included?”
