Roadworthy Certificates - RWC - Certificate of Roadworthiness in {{{suburb}}}

In Victoria, a RWC or Certificate of Roadworthiness, is needed before a vehicle can be sold or when purchased unregistered (unless brand new) and it needs to be re-registered. A Licensed Vehicle Tester must check that your vehicle meets the standards set out under Regulation 220 by the Roads Corporation, or VicRoads, prior to a Certificate of Roadworthiness being issued.

steering, suspensions and braking systems

windscreen, and windows including front wipers and washers

other safety related items on the body, chassis or engine.

What get's checked during a safety inspection?

A Certificate of Roadworthiness only shows that it is safe enough to be driven on public roads. It doesn't check mechanical reliability. Our 150 Point Comprehensive Vehicle Inspection would provide you with a detailed report.

A RWC is valid for a period of 30 days from the date of issue. The cost of the inspection will vary with the type of vehicle being inspected. If it fails the inspection you have 14 days to have it repaired otherwise you will need to have a full inspection done again.

Occasionally a Certificate of Roadworthiness is also needed before you can have a defect notice removed from a vehicle or it may be required as part of a required inspection for vehicles such as taxis and buses (which must undergo regular, periodic mandatory Inspections).
It is also important to note that a Certificate of Roadworthiness does not constitute a complete assessment of a vehicle's compliance with the Standards for Registration. These standards are generally governed by the Australian Design Rules (ADRs) and are often beyond the scope of a Roadworthy Inspection.

Brand new vehicles don't need a certificate if they have never previously been registered. Trailers and other vehicles and specially constructed vehicles. To learn more visit VicRoads article

Your tyres are the only contact between your vehicle and the road. We are committed to maintaining them so they can ensure your safety.

Worn or unbalanced tyres can severely impact a vehicle's handling. When tyres are worn, their ability to grip the road diminishes, leading to decreased traction, particularly in wet conditions, which can increase stopping distances. Unbalanced tyres, on the other hand, can cause vibrations and uneven wear, affecting the stability and control of the vehicle. These issues can compromise safety and comfort, highlighting the importance of regular tyre checks and maintenance.

Routine maintenance allows us to monitor your tyres' condition and provides a convenient opportunity to carry out wheel alignments and balances. These services are affordable and can significantly enhance your driving experience.

At {{{businessName}}} we supply and fit an extensive selection of tyres for passenger cars, 4WDs, commercial fleets, and light trucks and vans up to six tonnes.

Fitting new tyres and ensuring proper wheel balance are crucial for optimal vehicle handling. {{{businessName}}} specialises in maintaining tyres and associated components, offering expert advice on selecting the right tyres for your vehicle
