What is a Roadworthy Certificate (RWC)?
A Roadworthy Certificate is an official document issued after a roadworthy inspection, confirming that a vehicle meets the minimum safety standards required for normal road use in Victoria. This inspection, mandated by Transport Victoria, focuses on key components to prevent accidents and ensure compliance. It is not an assessment of the vehicle’s mechanical reliability or overall condition but a critical safety check required for registration, transfer of ownership, or after certain repairs.
Our fully qualified mechanics bring decades of combined experience to every roadworthy inspection, ensuring a thorough and meticulous assessment of your vehicle. We understand the importance of a reliable RWC, which is why we go beyond the basics—checking critical components like brakes, tyres, steering, lights, and more to guarantee your car meets Victoria’s strict roadworthiness standards. If any issues are identified during the inspection, our skilled technicians are ready to perform necessary repairs using genuine or quality-approved parts, all while adhering to manufacturer specifications to preserve your warranty. We’re committed to helping you get your vehicle certified the first time around, saving you time and hassle.
