A few decades ago I took my car to crappy tire. They did the work but held the car hostage. They said that further work was needed to be done and said it would be unsafe to release the vehicle. Was so long ago I forgot what I did about it but I have never taken vehicle back to them again.

    They said that further work was needed to be done and said it would be unsafe to release the vehicle.

    they legally have to do that.

    Canada does not do vehicle inspections for safety unless the car is sold. In most european countries, you need a MOT safety test every two years after 4 years of car life. Canada we let rotting pickups drive until they shed wheels.
