AMVIC History

AMVIC regulations came into operation on September 1st, 1999, taking over from Alberta Government Services to operate as a motor vehicle regulator for the province. AMVIC is a not-for-profit group working under the provincial government to follow specific guidelines originally developed at their formation. Their main goals include acting in accordance to the Consumer Protection Act, developing consumer confidence in the automotive industry, educating and licensing those in the motor vehicle industry and creating and collecting assessment fees.

AMVIC's Role

For the consumer, AMVIC is important because it provides a regulatory system that ensures you are protected and get the best vehicles possible you can trust when shopping. It's no secret that the vehicle buying process can be stressful with all of the various steps and processes you have to go through, so AMVIC makes sure that both businesses, salespeople and products are fair and conduct business through a professional manner. As a facilitator, AMVIC works to open up communication lines between the government, industry and consumers in order to create a fair and balanced system that develops trust and confidence across all reaches of the automotive landscape.
