they only time they can specify a location is if it's to go there immediately for they themselves to inspect (ie. that parking lot over there so i'm not sticking my ass into traffic trying to look at your suspension), and the alternative is for you to pay out of pocket for an authorized inspector to inspect the vehicle. doesn't say anything about specifying who that inspector HAS to be other than a person authorized under section 217 |

Thank you for your email.
In British Columbia, Notice and Orders - Box 2 require a complete mechanical inspection at a Designated Inspection Facility.
Motor Vehicle Act Regulations Division 7.08 – Inspection of motor vehicles, stated below, is the applicable regulatory reference regarding your inquiry.

So if the officer designates the dealer, and submitting it there?
Frustrating, and I thought for years you could go anywhere
