Vehicle Inspections in the Foothills
What thirty-four winters on Railway Street taught us about this job.
Okotoks grows by a few hundred households a year, and a good share arrive from BC, Saskatchewan and further, each with a vehicle that needs an Alberta out-of-province inspection before it can be registered. The inspection is a fixed checklist, and a vehicle that fails on something small can be fixed and re-inspected. The seasonal check is the local habit worth keeping: a look at tires, brakes, battery and wipers in early October, before the first minus twenty morning finds the weak one.
