Commercial Vehicle Inspections

Select The Gear Centre branches in Alberta* are now certified inspection facilities licensed by Alberta Transportation’s Vehicle Safety Division. Our trade qualified technicians perform comprehensive inspections on all major vehicle components including, but not limited to, powertrain, steering, electrical, fuel/exhaust systems, brakes and suspension.

If the vehicle passes inspection, a certification decal will be applied to the unit that shows the inspection date. All commercially plated vehicles require an annual Commercial Vehicle Inspection according to the National Safety Code. Trust the professionals at The Gear Centre to help make this part of your preventive maintenance program.

Preventive Maintenance

Regular servicing and maintenance of your equipment helps to sustain vehicle operation and combats unwanted and unexpected downtime, helping you save money.

By periodically inspecting your vehicle or equipment you can make adjustments, minor repairs, lubricate and report or record data or problems that can minimize breakdowns and maximize efficiency.

Come to The Gear Centre to prevent a problem before it happens and to save yourself from large and expensive repairs or idle downtime in the future.

Remanufacturing

At The Gear Centre, we don’t just rebuild, we remanufacture. The remanufacturing process includes disassembling and cleaning of the unit, restoring, repairing or completely replacing parts to assure complete long-term satisfaction and a quality unit.

All remanufactured transmissions, transfer cases, and torque converters are dynotested under load conditions on our Aidco 450 transmission dynamometers.

Whether you are looking for a transmission, differentials, or transfer cases for heavy truck, automotive, transit, agriculture or industrial machinery, your local The Gear Centre can assist you in finding exactly what you need.
