BOOK AND APPOINTMENT Salvage Repair and Certificate
When a vehicle registered in Ontario it has to pass a safety inspection to determine if it is road worthy. In many cases, a vehicle will pass the safety check and the owner will be able to register the automobile and put license plates on it. But in some cases, vehicles that have been in accidents can be repaired and registered. In other cases, the vehicle can be ‘branded’ as ‘salvage’ – meaning that is can be repaired or rebuilt. If it passes the structural check that is part of the overall safety check, it can be certified and re-branded as ‘rebuilt’.
An insurance company will determine if an automobile is a write-off based on the cost to repair the automobile balanced by the work of the auto when the repair is complete. At that stage, the car is branded as ‘salvage’ it can’t be registered until it clears the safety check, and you receive a safety certificate from a licensed shop.
