If there are no appraisal companies in your location, an alternative is to take the vehicle to your closest dealership, ask the Used Car Manager to appraise the vehicle on company letterhead signed by the Manager, along with his or her printed name.
A full inspection checklist from a legitimate Automotive Repair shop such as Canadian Tire, Midas, Dealerships, etc. signed by a licensed mechanic showing a detailed "pass or fail" of various mechanical and non-mechanical items on the vehicle that ensures a particular vehicle is safe and road worthy. Any items that "fail" will need to be fixed, and the member will have to provide us with a copy of the paid invoice showing items that were fixed.
