Built in 1938 and closed in 1983 by the British Columbia provincial government. Vehicles were inspected annually for road worthiness and safety. During the 1962-63 period, it was determined that 30% of vehicles failed initial inspection. The facility remained unchanged in appearance in its 45 years of operation. The building was demolished shortly after its closure.
