Safety certificates / Roadworthy Inspections

We are an approved inspection station for Safety Certificates, (previously known as ‘Roadworthy Inspections'). We also regularly undertake other types of vehicle inspections including Vehicle Inspection reports.

Reasons for getting a vehicle inspection:

  • Selling your car - Queensland law requires that you have a valid safety certificate for cars that you are selling
  • Pre warranty expiration - It's a good idea to get a full vehicle inspection done shortly before your warranty expiration so you can fix anything that needs fixing while still under warranty
  • Vehicle Inspection reports - For peace of mind you can get a Vehicle Inspection report
  • Preparing for a long trip - If you're preparing for a long trip, such as a trip around Australia, then you should definitely get a 150 point vehicle inspection done to avoid any nasty surprises while you're in the middle of nowhere

The Safety Certificate offers buyers better protection and makes sure vehicles being offered for disposal or being re-registered are safe - reducing the likelihood of crashes caused by defective vehicles. In Queensland the laws are very strict about Safety Certificates on vehicles that are up for sale, or that are being re-registered for the first time or from interstate. A Safety Certificate is issued after a vehicle passes an minimum safety standard inspection.
