Owning a vehicle that is safe and compliant with Victorian regulations is only possible with a Roadworthy Certificate (RWC). This certificate shows that critical components—tyres, brakes, steering, suspension, lighting, and the chassis—meet the minimum safety standards. Obtaining it is mandatory for selling or re-registering a vehicle and helps protect you and others.

We inspect petrol and diesel vehicles (non-LPG) with no online prepayment required, and we aim to deliver a same-day written report, safety recommendations, and rectification costs.
