Repairs & Servicing You Can Trust

What’s Checked in a Roadworthy Inspection?

A roadworthy certificate, also known as a safety certificate, confirms that a vehicle is safe to drive on public roads. The inspection focuses on key safety-related systems and components, rather than mechanical reliability or cosmetic condition. During your roadworthy check, we assess:


  • Brakes, tyres and wheels for wear and performance.
  • Steering and suspension systems for safety and stability.
  • Lights, indicators and electrical systems for proper function.
  • Windscreens, windows and wipers for visibility and damage.
  • Body rust or damage that may impact structural integrity.


If your vehicle passes inspection, you’ll receive an official roadworthy certificate. If any issues are found, we’ll explain them clearly and offer repairs if needed. The aim is to keep you safe and compliant without unnecessary stress.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a roadworthy certificate and why do I need one?

    A roadworthy certificate is a legal document that confirms your vehicle meets minimum safety standards required for driving on Queensland roads. It’s needed when selling or transferring ownership of a vehicle, and in some cases for re-registration. It helps protect buyers by ensuring vehicles are safe and not dangerously worn or damaged.

  • What happens if my vehicle fails a roadworthy inspection?

    If your vehicle fails, you’ll be given a list of items that need fixing before a certificate can be issued. You have 14 days to complete the repairs and return for a re-inspection. Once the issues are resolved, the certificate can be granted without needing to start the process over.

  • Can I get a roadworthy certificate if my car has cosmetic damage?

    Yes, cosmetic issues like faded paint, minor dents or scratches do not affect a roadworthy certificate. The inspection focuses on components that impact safety—such as brakes, tyres, steering and visibility. As long as those are in good working order, cosmetic defects won’t prevent you from passing.
