Actually, that's not true because the leasing company owns the car, and when you buy out the lease, the ownership is transferred to you.

This safety inspection nonsense must be some kind of Canadian thing.

Glad it all worked out for you.

I do not think the dealership service department gives a large crap if you buy the car or not - they are a separate revenue center for the dealer from sales. Probably they err on the side of caution when it comes to anything safety (tires) or brake (also safety) related issues for liability, etc.

And of course, to maximize profit, they need to sell you stuff.
