Sale of Salvaged and
Stolen Vehicles
The sale of salvaged and stolen
vehicles in Ontario is a serious
problem. For this reason, the
Ministry of Transportation
(MTO), the Collision Industry
Action Group (C.I.A.G.) and
relevant stakeholders -including
all major insurance companies-
are working together to address
this issue. Their efforts are
geared towards increased
mechanisms for the disclosure of
accidents, and preventing
written-off cars -deemed to be
fit for parts only- from getting
back on Ontario's roads.
INSPECTION OF REBUILT VEHICLES
Ontario is introducing a new
consumer protection program to
permanently identify vehicles
that have been "written-off'
after a serious motor vehicle
collision.
Vehicles that are branded
"salvage" must successfully pass
a NEW structural inspection
prior to being branded "rebuilt"
and being able to be licensed
for legal use on Ontario's
roads. These vehicles will
continue to be required to also
successfully complete an
inspection for an Ontario safety
standards certificate.
Only a licensed facility will be
allowed to inspect "salvage"
branded vehicles and issue
structural inspection
certificates. To find out the
standards and requirements for
this new program, and how to
become a licensed facility,
orientation sessions are being
offered across Ontario.

BOTH INSPECTING TECHNICIANS AND
