Mechanical Inspection Guide
(2,1 Mb - 98 pages)

As part of its highway safety mandate, the Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec established a mechanical inspection program for road vehicles.

The present guide sets forth the inspection procedures and standards applicable to most vehicles. Designed as a quick reference tool for mechanics and highway carrier enforcement officers, it describes mechanical inspection procedures as well as the minor and major defects most likely to be encountered.

The contents of this guide are drawn from the Highway Safety Code and the Regulation respecting safety standards for road vehicles. We therefore encourage users to consult the Code and Regulation for all legal questions.
