Safety Certificates COI Roadworthy Inspections
Auto Centre Gold Coast in Burleigh Heads, Gold Coast, is an Approved Inspection Station (AIS)
Auto Centre Gold Coast can issue Safety Certificates (formerly Roadworthy Certificates RWC) for vehicles that pass vehicle inspections.
In the State of Queensland, a safety certificate is needed when:
- you are transferring registration to a new owner or
- you are transferring to Queensland registration from another state or territory or
- you are re-registering an unregistered vehicle
Vehicles requiring a safety certificate are cars, motorcycles, trailers (including caravans) with an aggregate trailer mass (ATM) between 750kg and 4,500kg. Or any other vehicles up to 4,500kg gross vehicle mass (GVM).
This inspection covers the basic vehicle safety standards for many components including:
- Tyres
- Brakes
- Suspension
- Steering
- Body damage or Rust
- Lights
- Windscreen
Should your vehicle fail the initial inspection then you have 14 days in which to have the items repaired. Fortunately, as we are a fully qualified automotive service and repair workshop we can fix most issues within 14 days before that inspection expires.
A safety certificate inspection is not a comprehensive mechanical inspection on the quality, or life expectancy of a vehicle. Talk to us today about the different types of inspections available at Auto Centre Gold Coast and which one will best suit your needs.
Certificate of Inspection (COI)
To ensure compliance with QLD State legislation, vehicles (buses, taxis, limousines and booked hire vehicles) registered in Queensland may need to have a periodic or programmed inspection to check minimum vehicle safety standards. A COI is issued when the vehicle passes the inspection.
Auto Centre Gold Coast offers inspections that are valid for 12 months and your COI will show if your vehicle is compliant and meets current safety standards. Contact us today to arrange an inspection.
