Looking to sell, register, or re-register your vehicle in Cranbourne North? You’ll need a valid roadworthy certificate (RWC) to ensure your car meets the safety standards set by VicRoads. At Singh’s Tyre & Auto Centre, we provide thorough and efficient roadworthy inspections to help you get your certificate quickly and with minimal hassle.
Our experienced and fully licensed team is here to inspect your vehicle with care, provide transparent advice, and carry out any required repairs or adjustments to get you safely back on the road.
Why Do You Need a Roadworthy Certificate?
In Victoria, a roadworthy certificate is essential when:
- Selling a registered vehicle
- Transferring registration to a new owner
- Re-registering a vehicle after expiry
- Registering an interstate vehicle in Victoria
The purpose of the inspection is to ensure your vehicle is safe to operate on public roads—not to check its mechanical reliability or appearance. It’s a safety-focused check that covers critical components which affect your car’s ability to operate securely.
What We Inspect During an RWC Check?
At Singh’s Tyre & Auto Centre, we follow the strict VicRoads criteria for RWC assessments. Our inspection includes:
- Wheels and Tyres
Tyres are checked for safe tread depth, even wear, and general condition. Rims must be undamaged and securely fitted.
- Brakes and Suspension
We inspect brake pads, discs, and suspension parts for wear, leaks, and performance to ensure proper stopping and handling.
- Steering System
All steering components must be responsive and free from excess play, damage, or stiffness.
- Lights and Reflectors
Headlights, brake lights, indicators, and reflectors must work correctly and be clearly visible.
- Windscreen and Wipers
Windscreens must be clear and undamaged. Wipers and washers need to function properly for good visibility.
- Vehicle Structure and Chassis
The body and undercarriage are assessed for rust, cracks, or damage that could affect safety.
- Seatbelts and Restraints
Seatbelts are checked for proper retraction, secure locking, and overall condition.
- Exhaust and Emissions
We ensure the exhaust system is free from leaks or excessive noise and emissions are within legal limits.
If your vehicle passes all checks, we issue your roadworthy certificate on the spot. If it doesn’t, we provide a detailed report outlining what needs to be fixed. You’ll then have 14 days to address the issues and return for a re-inspection.
How Long Does the Process Take?
A standard roadworthy inspection typically takes 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the condition of the vehicle. If repairs are needed, we can provide a quote and carry out the work right here in our workshop—saving you time and effort.
We value your time and aim to make the process as smooth as possible with flexible bookings and honest advice.
