For over 30 years, ATTS has set the standard for forensic automotive inspection in Canada. As the body behind the methodology, we train, certify, and deliver the reports that professionals rely on.
Founded in 1995 in British Columbia, ATTS — Automotive Training & Technical Specialists — is Canada's forensic automotive authority. We don't just conduct inspections; we define how they are done. As the trusted body, we establish the methodology, uphold the training standards, and certify the inspectors that carry our name.
Over 7,700 reports and three decades later, the ATTS standard remains unchanged: every finding is documented, every conclusion is defensible, and every report is built to hold up in court.
