Questions

Frequently asked
questions

How long does a mobile roadworthy inspection take?

Most inspections are completed within 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the vehicle and its condition.

How long is a Queensland Roadworthy Certificate valid for?

For private sellers it is valid for 2 months or 2,000 km, whichever comes first. For licensed motor dealers it is valid for 3 months or 1,000 km. That window is set by Queensland Transport, not by us.

What happens if my car fails the inspection?

You get 14 days to repair the flagged items. Once they are fixed we return for a quick re-inspection and issue your certificate.

Do I need to be present during the mobile inspection?

As long as our inspector has access to the keys and safe clearance around the vehicle, you don’t need to stand by the entire time.

Do you come to my home?

Yes. We inspect vehicles at homes, workplaces, dealerships and many other locations across North Brisbane.

Can you do same-day bookings?

Yes, subject to daily booking capacity. Call early in the morning for the best chance of a same-day mobile slot — same-day booking closes at 2pm so the day’s run can be planned.

How much does it cost?

Inspections start from $110. The exact price depends on the time slot and the day you choose, and it is shown against every time before you book.

Is the mobile certificate valid for Uber/rideshare?

Yes. We issue the Certificate of Inspection (COI) required for commercial rideshare registration.

Is a Mobile Roadworthy Certificate legally recognised?

Yes. Our inspections comply with Queensland requirements and are completed by licensed inspectors, so the certificate is the same one a workshop issues.
