| A good shop for an OOP?
I'm moving to Vancouver on Friday and will be bringing a 2000 acura integra with me. It was a BC car until 2012 but then was registered in AB. It's been completely cleaned up and should pass an OOP pretty easily other than tint on the front windows. Can someone suggest a good shop to deal with in terms of OOP's?
I know in AB some shops are Nazi's where others are easier and a little more forgiving. Some shops won't even deal with cars this old because they assume they are junk the moment they hear the age of the vehicle.
If anyone has some suggestions on where to go and why it would be greatly appreciated. I read S&M auto is a pretty decent shop. Can anyone give some feedback?

if it still has front tint, get rid of it.

By law, AB and BC do not allow front tint. Brampton, Window Films, GTA, Mississauga, Ontario, Professional Window Tinting Tools Canada's Tint Law Chart
A genuine OOP inspector will not let your car pass.
By the way, when I brought my car back from AB to BC, during the OOP inspection, the inspector looked for safety aspect of the vehicle. They are key on DOT certification on windshield and all lights, including housing and bulbs. If you have any lights that are aftermarket without DOT cert, remove them and put back the OEM. After the inspection, you can do whatever you want.
I did my OOP inspection at Canadian Tire. They were pretty good. It cost me like $100.

Thanks for the replies guys. The car is completely stock so I won't have any issues there. Stock exhaust, lights etc. I love my limo tint but know I will have to peel the fronts off for the inspection.

I forgot to ask, does it matter if I have winter tires on the car when I inspect it or all seasons? I have a set of both but the all seasons might fail (65% rears/80% fronts) where the winter tires are both (95%). If it can be done with winters then i'll bring it in with the winters so they don't call it for tires.

Don't worry about the age of the vehicle. Cars actually wear out here before the rust away like every other province.
