SGI Safety Inspections in Saskatoon
Central Repair Ltd is a certified SGI Vehicle Inspection Station. Since 2004, we have provided thorough mechanical safety inspections to ensure your vehicle meets all Saskatchewan provincial standards.
Types of SGI Inspections We Perform
-
First Time Registered (FTR): Mandatory for used vehicles brought into Saskatchewan from out-of-province.
-
Commercial Vehicle Inspections: Annual or semi-annual certifications for trucks, trailers, and buses.
-
Total Loss & Rebuilt Vehicles: Critical safety and mechanical reviews for vehicles previously declared a total loss.
-
Periodic Motor Vehicle Inspections (PMVI): Ongoing safety compliance for commercial fleets.
What Does the Inspection Include?
Our certified journeyman technicians follow SGI’s rigorous 93-point checklist. This includes an in-depth review of steering, suspension, brakes, tires, lighting, and structural integrity. We also perform a mandatory 4-wheel alignment check as part of the process.
Pro Tips for a Successful SGI Inspection
-
Clean Your Vehicle: Ensure your vehicle and undercarriage are relatively clean; excessive mud or debris can hide structural issues and may require a cleaning fee before the inspection can begin.
-
Check Your Lights First: A common and easy reason for failure is a burnt-out bulb. Walk around your vehicle and check signals, brake lights, and license plate lights before your appointment.
-
Bring Proper Documentation: For Out-of-Province or Total Loss inspections, ensure you have your SGI-issued inspection form and previous registration papers ready to present to our team.
-
Understand the 30-Day Re-inspection Window: If your vehicle does not pass the initial inspection, you have exactly 30 days to complete the necessary repairs and return for a free first re-inspection.
-
Transparent Pricing: SGI safety inspections are billed at a flat-rate time standard—typically 1.5 hours for light vehicles and 2 hours for heavy-duty trucks—plus the cost of a wheel alignment if required.
