Buy with better information

A car can look clean and drive well for a few minutes while still hiding wear, corrosion, upcoming repairs or signs of prior damage. Our visual and functional inspection helps you decide, negotiate or walk away before the vehicle becomes your problem.

IMPORTANT DISTINCTION

Pre-purchase inspection and DriveON certificate: different purposes

Our pre-purchase inspection helps assess the vehicle’s apparent condition before a transaction. It includes a photo report and recommendations, but it does not issue an official certificate. When an Ontario Safety Standards Certificate is required, it must follow a successful inspection at a ministry-licensed DriveON inspection centre.

Meca Home Concept’s inspection does not replace a DriveON inspection or an Ontario Safety Standards Certificate.

How much does a pre-purchase inspection cost in Ottawa?

Service starts at $189.99. The final price depends on the vehicle, its exact address and travel conditions, and is confirmed before any payment.

Do you cover all of Ottawa?

We cover Nepean, Kanata, Stittsville, Barrhaven, Orléans, Gloucester, Vanier and many nearby communities. After your request, we confirm coverage from the exact vehicle address.

Does this inspection provide a DriveON certificate?

No. This is an independent pre-purchase inspection. An Ontario Safety Standards Certificate must be issued by a licensed DriveON inspection centre when required.

How long does the inspection take and when will I get the report?

The inspection usually takes 45 to 90 minutes depending on the vehicle, access and checks that can be completed. The report is normally sent the same day and no later than 24 hours.

Can I live in Quebec and have a car inspected in Ottawa?

Yes. The service follows the vehicle. After your request, we ask for its exact address to confirm coverage and the appointment.

How does payment work?

Vous envoyez d’abord votre demande sans payer. Après confirmation du rendez-vous et du prix, nous transmettons un lien de paiement sécurisé. La garantie mécanique est une démarche distincte, soumise à une inspection MHC obligatoire et à une offre privée complète avant paiement.
