CVIP inspections
Alberta’s CVIP, handled properly
If you run a commercial truck or trailer in Alberta, the Commercial Vehicle Inspection Program (CVIP) is a fact of life. Caddy Auto Service performs CVIP inspections at our shop on Yellowhead Trail in Edmonton — the same family shop that has repaired heavy duty trucks and trailers alongside cars since 1973. We inspect thoroughly, document properly, and if something needs attention we can complete the repairs right here and get you back on the road.
What a CVIP inspection covers
A CVIP inspection works through your vehicle’s safety systems. We check each one honestly — the point is a truck that’s genuinely safe, not just a sticker.
- Brakes & air systems
- Steering & suspension
- Lights & electrical
- Tires & wheels
- Frame & body structure
- Glass & mirrors
Trucks, trailers and fleets
In Alberta, commercial trucks and trailers need a CVIP inspection every year (buses every six months). The program generally applies to commercial vehicles over 11,794 kg GVW operating within Alberta, and over 4,500 kg GVW if they cross provincial borders. Running several units? We can schedule inspections around your routes so your fleet never bunches up in the shop.
