SGI Inspections in Saskatoon

Since SGI has some of the tightest restrictions of any provincial insurance, a few factors that could cause a vehicle to fail look a little peculiar or special. Any of the following—which is not an exhaustive list—represent a failed inspection: partially cut or frayed seatbelts, exhaust system leaks, exterior rust holes big enough to snag a child’s finger or a piece of clothing, worn-out door seals, missing or damaged sun visors, windshield cracks bigger than an inch and/or in the driver’s line of vision, streaky wiper blades, and inactive washer nozzles.

Some of the items undergoing inspection may be in such poor condition that they pose a serious risk to public safety. These items will be noted as “Out of Service Condition” on the inspection sheet by a double X. The vehicle may be hauled away if the customer decides to undertake the maintenance elsewhere, but it must be repaired before it can be driven away from the shop. Out-of-service equipment include things like 0mm brake pads that are still present, broken brake hoses, missing airbags, etc.
