Unsure
where to start looking for a provider of roadworthy certificates? Browns Plains
offers a number of mechanics, but you may be left with a lot of questions. Here
are some frequently asked questions.
Who
issues Roadworthy Certificates?
Your
issuer can be a licensed vehicle tester, one that is operating from a nominated
service station or garage. You can obtain one from many Browns Plains minor car
service locations. In order to get your certificate issued, you need to pass a
roadworthy inspection.
What
is a Roadworthy Inspection?
The
inspection is used to check vehicles, and to make sure that the key components
haven't worn or deteriorated and that the vehicle is safe for road use. Your
inspection will cover the major safety items like:
· the structure of the
vehicle
·
· windscreens, windows,
and wipers
·
· lamps and reflectors
·
· seats and seat belts
·
· steering, suspension
and breaking systems
·
· wheels and tyres
·
· Other safety related
body and engine items.
·
·Passing the inspection
doesn't mean that your vehicle is without wear and tear. It will also not
determine if air conditioning or other non safety related accessories are in
working condition.
·
What
if your vehicle fails the test?
If
the car doesn't meet the standards, a rejection report is issued. You will then
have seven days to repair the item, and return the vehicle to the tester for a
second inspection. If more than seven days lapse, a complete inspection will
have to be carried out again.
What
does the test cost?
The price varies depending on many factors of
your vehicle, including its age, make/model and condition. There are many
roadworthiness test administrators who can perform the test in or near Browns
Plains. Major and minor car services don't cover the cost so you will need to
contact a mechanic for a quote.
How
long will the certificate last?
Your
certificate of roadworthiness stays current for 30 days from the date of issue.
After the 30 days, you will have to get another inspection.
Does
this cover the Australian Design Rules?
Your
roadworthiness test does not test for your compliance for the Standards of
Registration. You will have to get an ADR inspection to make sure that your
vehicle can meet those standards.
