    Recovered Stolen Vehicles – Drug Testing & Decontamination

    More than 35% of recovered stolen vehicles in Canada are found to contain hazards such as illicit drugs, used needles, crack pipes, bodily fluids, or other biohazards. These dangers go far beyond cosmetic damage and can pose serious health risks to anyone who comes into contact with the vehicle. Because of this, every recovered stolen vehicle should undergo a professional process of inspection, hazard removal, and deep sanitization. This ensures the car is not only cleaned but also made safe for its rightful owner to drive again.

Proper inspection and professional cleaning and decontamination are essential to ensure the safety and full restoration of recovered stolen vehicles.

    These risks compromise your health and safety, and can also impact the vehicle’s long-term usability and value.
