Safety Inspection
All Coast Tire & Auto Service locations are registered as Official Vehicle Inspection Stations in their province of operation. Our technicians are carefully trained and are not paid by commission. This means your safety is their only focus. They're not going to try to sell you something you don't need.
When your Motor Vehicle Inspection is due, call us for your appointment, drop your car off, and our free shuttle service will take you back and forth to work. Our staff will have your vehicle ready to be picked on time.
