Anyone else in BC having problems with ICBC accepting our Vin numbers.
They are giving me the gears saying there needs to be 17 digits and all we
have are 13 digits in our VIN numbers (including the letters)
I now have to get a temp day licence to bring the coach from storage to one
of hte agents to view the Actual Vin number. I have all the original
documentation, sales, Importing and first ICBC insurance policy all
accepting the VIN number but now when I wanted to renew they had a hold on
it because they said the vin numbers were wrong. DUH! that's service from
our Government Agency.
This is a imposition by the former NDP government.
Eliminated competition.

I brought the agent the documents but when she phoned ICBC for them to
remove the hold they said the agent had to visually inspect the Vin
Number. Get this: when I brought the Coach up from the states what I had
to do to get BC plates and insurance was have the coach weighed at the govt
weigh station - No visual or Garage inspection required. Then I brought up
my aVANTI and before i could get plates and insurance I had to take it to a
Certified mechanic for have it deemed road worthy. Next we have government
controlled emissions that I have to take the Avanti through each year.
HOwever not a requirement for the Coach. So we have this 11,000 lb rolling
down the road - with whatever braking power available at the time and no
inspection required, however we have this 3000 lb car that needs full
inspection.
Better say no more or else they may wise up - but that would be a miracle.

I have to weigh in on this one. I renewed my coach last week. I have a very good agent and try to get the same individual there each time I insure a vehicle. She did have to visually inspect the VIN when I first brought the coach into Canada and there were some mechanical inspection issues but she remembers me and the coach (old coach, old owner, both slightly quirky). I have a photo on my iPhone just in case she needs a reminder. I think having a good agent is critical in dealing with ICBC or probably any insurance corp. Before I found this agent I had issues trying to renew a Corolla. Find a good agent and stick with them.
