Safety Certificate & Roadworthy (RWC) Inspections — Kangaroo Point
Buying a second-hand vehicle in Kangaroo Point? A safety certificate confirms the vehicle meets Queensland's minimum roadworthy standards at the point of sale. Our AIS-licensed inspectors (Licence #12673) can inspect a vehicle at the seller's address anywhere in Kangaroo Point (4169) — giving you peace of mind before money changes hands, or confirming the seller's certificate is legitimate.
The most common inspections we carry out in Kangaroo Point are for everyday passenger vehicles — sedans, hatchbacks, wagons, and small SUVs. These are typically pre-sale inspections, re-registration certificates, or transfer-of-ownership situations. Our inspectors check all TMR-mandated items including brakes, tyres, lights, suspension, seatbelts, windscreen, body integrity, and more.

Mobile Inspections vs Traditional Stations
Most Kangaroo Point residents who use a workshop inspection station do so because they don't know there's another option. Mobile safety certificate inspections are the same service, the same certificate, the same AIS licensing — just carried out at your location rather than theirs. Once you've used a mobile service, going back to a workshop seems like an unnecessary extra step.
📋 Do You Need a Safety Certificate?
In Queensland, a safety certificate (also called a roadworthy or RWC) is required when: selling a privately registered vehicle, re-registering after a lapsed registration, or transferring ownership to a new registered owner. It is valid for 2 months or 2,000km from the date of issue. We cover Kangaroo Point 4169 and all Brisbane City Council suburbs.
