CVIP Requirements & Thresholds
“Is this unit even due?”
In Alberta: commercial vehicles 11,794 kg (26,001 lb) and up in-province, 4,500 kg and up running extra-provincially. Certificates hold for 12 months — semi-annual for buses with more than 10 seats including the driver. If you're not sure where a unit lands, that's what “Ask a CVIP Question” is for.
Failed CVIP Repair & Re-Inspection
“What happens when it fails?”
Findings, photos and a repair plan within 48 hours — then the repairs and the re-inspection happen in the same shop, so the unit leaves compliant instead of leaving with a to-do list and a second booking.
CVIP Documentation & Records
“The auditor wants the paper.”
Compliant documentation, filed to the unit's digital history alongside every other inspection and repair — brakes to frame, lights to wiring. When someone asks, the record answers.
NDT Coordination
“The crack you can't see.”
Non-destructive testing coordinated with certified sublet partners and scheduled alongside the CVIP — one visit, both boxes.
CVIP + PM Scheduling
“Two bookings for one truck.”
Pair the CVIP with the unit's PM and it makes one trip. Your interval and the regulator's, same visit, both filed.
Trucks, Trailers & Vocational Units
“The whole list is due in Q3.”
Trucks, trailers and vocational units, booked in a rotation your routes can absorb — the slot gets scheduled around your operation, not ours.
Avoiding downtime surprises
A failed CVIP isn't the problem. Finding out on inspection day is.
Nobody schedules around a pass. What wrecks a week is the unit that goes in for a routine inspection and comes out with a list — parts to order, a bay to rebook, a load already promised against a truck that can't legally move. The inspection didn't cause any of that. It just told you late.
So the work happens before inspection day. Pair the CVIP with the unit's PM and the wear items get found on your schedule, priced before they're touched, and fixed while the truck was coming in anyway. What's left on inspection day is the inspection. And when something does fail, the repair and the re-inspection happen here in the same visit — so a finding costs you a conversation, not a second booking.
The commitments in writing
Two promises. Both in writing.
The Downtime Promise
Inspection results within 48 hours of your scheduled booking — guaranteed. A comprehensive estimate within 24 hours of diagnostic completion. Worst case, that's 72 hours from drop-off to a number you can act on — and you'll hear from us before then, not after. Every unit leaves with a condition report and a digital vehicle inspection you can make decisions from. No surprises. No delays. Just results.
The Estimate Lock
Serial estimating — approve one number, then watch it grow — is one of the top three issues for fleets in this industry. Our Estimate Accuracy & Approval Policy ends it: once approved, your estimate is locked on price and scope. Changing a locked estimate takes manager approval — and nothing changes without yours.
How the process works
Four steps, same order, every time
Same sequence whether it's one unit or a fleet program — that's what makes the 48-hour and 24-hour commitments something we can actually hold.
Book the slot
Scheduled around your operation — single unit or the quarter's list.
Inspect to the checklist
Standardized checklist, photographic documentation.
Results inside 48 hours
Outcome and repair plan, with the evidence.
Repair and certify
In-house repair, re-inspection, compliant paper filed to the unit.
Every job leaves here with a record: what was inspected, what was found, what was approved and what was done. That record is what turns a repair into a maintenance history you can plan against.

“They helped my company out with a bunch of CVIPs on our commercial vehicles and did great — from the first meeting, diagnosis, and repair. These guys excel in every other way.”
“We had a situation that needed addressing ASAP, and Mach 6 was the only shop we called that said no problem. We'll be using Mach 6 from now on.”
