Default Ontario buyer, local e-test?

Someone from out of province is interested in buying my car and inquired about safety/e-test. I said that we don't do e-tests in Quebec for immatriculations, but that there shouldn't be any problem. I am wondering if there are garages here that do this, just in case?

I believe it has to be an Ontario garage

I'm not looking to get the certificate. Just like to be sure that it would pass.
No codes and everything seems to be in spec.

you can pass it through SAAQ inspection but there is no e test and the inspection isn't valid in Ontario.

Closest Ontario point would be Hawkesbury, this is the buyers problem though.

Turns out the deal looked pretty flakey. The guy kept pushing me to take a deposit to hold the car for him (2 days) so that I wouldn't sell it before he came. I said "not necessary, I won't sell it before you see it ". He kept insisting, so I figured he was fishing for bank account or other info. Visit date came and went, no more contact. Selling a car is such a PITA. I figure convertible sports car sales are easier in the spring.

When I was selling the M6 the emails and calls I got were hilarious. Especially from those that were super eager to send deposits via western union or such. Better yet was driving an hour to meet someone after confirming several times they were going to show up... only to have them not show up.
