About this website
The official portal to OEM Repair Information for Canadian auto service providers
OEMRepairInfo.ca is a portal linking Canadian automotive repair technicians to OEM technical information websites, augmented by third-party resources where available. The website was developed to provide Canadian repairers with a one-stop resource listing and linking to the technical information websites of auto manufacturers and distributors in conjunction with the Canadian Automotive Service Information Standard (CASIS) agreement.
The creation and maintenance of this website is a project of the Automotive Retailers Association or B.C. (ARA), on behalf of the National Automotive Trades Association (NATA), one of the signatories of the CASIS agreement.
What is the CASIS Agreement?
The Canadian Automotive Service Information Standard (CASIS) provides a framework for Canadian automobile manufacturers to share their service and repair information with the automotive aftermarket industry on a level equivalent to that of their authorized dealers.
OEM diagnostic and repair information, vehicle software updates and tools are available to any service provider in Canada by creating an account on the respective manufacturer’s technical information website. Each manufacturer’s website functions independently. The subscription fee, terms, and method of locating information varies from one to another.
The CASIS agreement is a historic, voluntary agreement, signed by all Canadian automakers in September 2009. Full implementation was completed on or before May 1, 2010. The CASIS Task Force and sub-committees are populated by representatives of the auto manufacturers and the aftermarket auto service industry.
