The Certificate
What a Queensland Safety Certificate actually is.
We provide professional roadworthy certificates in Windsor to ensure your vehicle is safe, legal and up to regulation. Whether you are selling, transferring ownership or staying compliant, the inspection comes to you.
A Certificate of Roadworthiness — usually just called a roadworthy, or an RWC — confirms that a vehicle can be safely driven on public roads. In Windsor you need one to sell a registered vehicle, and you may need one to clear conditions when a car is re-registered.
You may see it called several things: a safety certificate, a vehicle inspection report, or a roadworthiness assessment. They are the same official document, and in Queensland the legal name is a Safety Certificate.
When a vehicle passes, it has met the safety standards set by Queensland Transport. If it does not pass, you have 14 days to put the faults right and have it re-checked.
Valid For
2 months or 2,000km
A Queensland Safety Certificate is valid for two months or 2,000 kilometres from the date of issue, whichever comes first. Book close to when you plan to sell.
Mobile In Windsor
Why a mobile roadworthy in Windsor beats a trip to a workshop.
A safety certificate is required before you sell a registered vehicle in Queensland, transfer it to a new owner, or re-register it. The inspection itself is the same wherever it happens — what changes is whether you spend the day arranging it.
Booking a workshop slot in Windsor means driving there, waiting, and getting yourself home and back again. Our inspector comes to your address instead. The vehicle stays where it is, and you carry on with your day while the inspection happens.
The Inspection
What we check on every
Windsor inspection
A roadworthy check covers more than whether the vehicle runs. It measures whether any part of it presents a hazard on the road. The same Queensland inspection applies wherever the car is parked — nothing is skipped because we came to you.

Why Bother
What a certificate does
for you in Windsor
-
It saves you a day
No workshop booking, no drop-off, no waiting room. The inspector comes to your address in Windsor and you carry on with what you were doing.
-
It lifts your resale value
A current certificate tells a buyer the car has been checked against the state standard. It is one of the basic requirements for selling or re-registering.
-
It keeps the road safer
Driving with a fault puts you, other drivers and pedestrians at risk, and leaves you exposed for damage to public property.
Why Astute
Licensed, mobile, and finished
while you get on with your day
We have served Windsor and the surrounding suburbs for 12+ years, with a team of trained mechanics who do this and nothing else.
The goal is the safety of you, the people in your car, and everyone else on the road. That is what the attention to detail is for.
