Removing Your Purchase From the Compound
After payment, you must remove your purchase from the Winnipeg Compound immediately and in Brandon by 5:00 p.m. the day following the auction.
Write-offs can't be registered or driven without the appropriate general safety (COI) and structural integrity inspections (BIIC). No exceptions!
Using a professional towing service to remove a vehicle is best. But if you'll be towing the vehicle yourself, you must comply with the Highway Traffic Act and The Drivers and Vehicles Act rules about towing. For more information on proper towing procedures, call the Winnipeg police Inspection Service at 986-5355.
