How to complete a vehicle inspection

1. Find the nearest inspection centre

Find your nearest inspection centre and make an appointment for a vehicle inspection.

Where ever you choose to complete an inspection, be sure to visit a DriveON inspection centre that can issue a 'Safety Standards Certificate'.

2. Complete a vehicle inspection

Bring your vehicle in for the inspection. If your vehicle passes the inspection, the mechanic will give you a Safety Standards Certificate (SSC).

Note that Uber does not cover the cost of the inspection, or any repairs or maintenance needed to pass an inspection.

3. Upload the inspection report

After you pass your vehicle inspection, upload a clear photo of the 'Safety Standards Certificate' to your Uber account.

If you did not receive a paper vehicle inspection report and have instead been issued a DriveON digital inspection report, you can search for it on the DriveON portal and download it as a PDF file. Make sure to upload the document labeled “Ontario DriveON Safety Standard Certificate”, not the “Ministry of Transportation Safety Inspection Report”.
