OMVIC Practice Test

What is the primary difference between an OMVIC inspector and an investigator?

1. An inspector can only visit dealerships, while an investigator handles all complaints

2. An inspector conducts routine checks, while an investigator deals with complaints and allegations

3. An investigator can only inspect vehicles, while an inspector handles all dealer records

4. An inspector fixes vehicle issues, while an investigator ensures legal compliance

The correct answer is: An inspector conducts routine checks, while an investigator deals with complaints and allegations

An investigator primarily deals with complaints and allegations, while an OMVIC inspector conducts routine checks. This means that an investigator is responsible for investigating specific claims of wrongdoing, while an inspector is responsible for periodic inspections to ensure overall compliance. Option A is incorrect because both an inspector and an investigator can visit dealerships. Option C is incorrect because an investigator is not limited to inspecting only vehicles, and an inspector is not responsible for handling all dealer records. Option D is incorrect because an inspector's role is not to fix vehicle issues, but rather to ensure legal compliance.
