As a local provider of Roadworthy Certificates / Safety Certificates, it’s our duty of care to make sure your inspection is carried out correctly.
Once the inspection for your roadworthy certificate is complete and all areas pass the test, we sign off the car to indicate it is safe to be on the road and meets Queensland Transport’s Safety Certificate guidelines. It’s not uncommon for a car to fail its first inspection. You have 14 days to get any repairs/servicing issues sorted out without having to pay for another inspection – as long as it is returned to our workshop for the follow-up inspection.
Also, the vehicle either needs to be registered or the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) component of your car registration (rego) must be paid. This is so we can carry out a sufficient road test as it is part of the inspection. Unregistered vehicles can also be inspected.
Other terminology used to describe a Roadworthy Certificate are Blue Slip, Warrant, MOT, Roady and RWC. The official term in Queensland is Safety Certificate.
Please note: for all Roadworthy Inspections, your vehicle must be brought to our Workshop. We can arrange pick up of unregistered vehicles at an additional cost. We don’t offer mobile roadworthy inspections.
