Your Mobile Roadworthy can be carried out virtually any place as long as it is safe to do so and the vehicle or trailer being inspected is on flat, solid ground.

6 - Read the Cancellation, Refund and Terms of Service Policy and make sure you have checked that your inspection is in a Brisbane or Redlands Suburb.

I do not service: Logan, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay, Beaudesert or Caboolture areas. Only add to cart if you plan on making multiple bookings. Singular bookings please press the Book Now button after entering your details and viewing the Policy. The policy can be found in the Menu area of the Website.

7 - Pay for your appointment

(This shows your commitment to the booking). I have gone this way as I have had many issues with phone bookings and

Customers calling around and getting their Roadworthy done earlier and not letting me know. This costs my Business time and money, so I have decided to make online booking payments mandatory for all Customers. Payments are made via a secured gateway through Square or you can choose to pay with Paypal or Afterpay.

- Once you have paid for your Inspection, you will receive a confirmation email and an instructions email sent to your provided email address.

Please read these carefully.

8 - Have your vehicle or trailer ready for inspection on the day. The vehicle should be on a flat, solid surface (grass and dirt is not accepted), be clean on

the inside (for checking seat belts and seat condition) and have a good working battery and fuel (if applicable) Unregistered Vehicles make sure you remove your old number plates as well

9 - Call and leave a message or Email me if your situation changes and we can work something out.

A Certificate of Inspection (COI) for light vehicles is for the following:

1 - You are transferring a vehicle from a Company to a private entity

2 - Your vehicle is used for booked hire such as Uber or Didi (you will need a COI annually)

3 - Your vehicle is a Taxi

4 - Your vehicle is a Limousine

A Certificate of Inspection (COI) is a different document to a Roadworthy (RWC)

It will display a "CL" prefix on the document compared to a "LV" on a Roadworthy Certificate

The objective of the HVRAS is to provide people with accreditation to inspect heavy vehicles (more than 4.5 tonne gross vehicle mass) and trailers (more than 750 aggregate trailer mass) to ensure they comply with:

• dimensional limitations

• approved load sharing axle systems guidelines

• safe tyre limits

• vehicle identifiers (for example: engine number, vehicle identification number and chassis number).

Imported vehicles that have not been previously registered in Australia cannot be inspected and measured by HVRAS accredited persons. These imported vehicles must be sighted by the Department of Transport and Main Roads for verification with the vehicle import documents.

You will require a HVRAS if:

1 - Your trailer / caravan has been unregistered in Queensland for more than 3 months

2 - Your trailer / caravan is to have its registration transferred from another state or territory.

Contact Rodney on 0409870059 if you have any questions or if you want to know if you require a HVRAS measure up before you book.
