Roadworthy Certificate Gold Coast
Need a Roadworthy / Safety Certificate for your car?
If you’re selling or have sold your car, wish to transfer registration from another state or need to re-register your vehicle, you need a roadworthy certificate/safety certificate. We are also licenced to carry out COI (Certificate of Inspection) for UBER and Taxi vehicles.
Some of the components of your car that are assessed during a Roadworthy Inspection include:
- Seats and restraints
- Lights and electrical components
- Windscreen and windows
- Steering and suspension
- Wheels and tyres
- Brake components
- Engines and drivelines
- Exhaust and emissions
- Road Test
A roadworthy certificate or “RWC” is an inspection that only certified Roadworthy Inspectors can carry out.
Why is a roadworthy certificate important?
As a local provider of safety certificates, it’s our duty of care to make sure your roadworthy inspection is carried out correctly. Once the inspection 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 QLD Transport’s guidelines.
It’s not uncommon for a car to fail its first inspection. You have 14 days to get any issues sorted without having to pay for another inspection – providing it is returned to our workshop for the follow-up inspection.
Also, the vehicle either needs to be registered or have the CTP component of your rego paid. This is so that we can carry out a sufficient road test as it is part of the inspection.
Some other terminology some people use for a Roadworthy; Blue Slip, warrant, MOT, Roady. Please note that a Roadworthy Inspection is different to a Pre-purchase Inspection. Be careful when purchasing a car that doesn’t have a current Roadworthy Certificate
How much does it cost?
Our central Ashmore workshop is conveniently located for your roadworthy inspection.
The standard cost of a roadworthy is $82.50**. Sometimes additional work will need to be carried out in order for the Roadworthy Certificate to be issued. Give Ashmore RWC a call on 5539 5944 to discuss. ** Prices are subject to change as they are based on The Department of Transport and Main Roads price recommendations.
Don’t forget, we’re only 5-10 mins from Benowa, Southport, Molendinar, Parkwood and you’re most welcome to wait for the car. The inspection usually takes around 50 minutes.
