Service Ontario Car Appraisal

In Ontario, a vehicle appraisal approved by the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is frequently necessary when transferring ownership. This applies in situations such as gifting a vehicle, registering an older model, or transferring a car that has high mileage, visible damage, or a history of accidents. The MTO may request a certified appraisal to accurately assess the vehicle’s fair market value.

Why You Might Need a Car Appraisal in Ontario

  • High mileage on the odometer

  • Significant interior wear or cosmetic damage

  • Mechanical issues or body repairs needed

  • Accident history, prior rental use, or commercial vehicle status

  • Vehicle purchased out-of-province or internationally

  • Car is 20 years or older with no listed value on the UVIP

When transferring vehicle ownership in Ontario, the Ministry of Transportation may use the wholesale value listed in the Used Vehicle Information Package (UVIP) to calculate HST. However, a certified car appraisal lets you pay tax based on the vehicle’s actual market value—helping you save money at Service Ontario.

Save on HST with a Certified Vehicle Appraisal

Without a professional appraisal, HST is often calculated using a predetermined book value, which may not reflect your car’s true condition or worth. Our certified reports provide accurate, third-party valuations accepted by Service Ontario, helping you save money by paying tax only on the actual market value of your vehicle.
