Yes. Payment is due before I start the inspection — I don’t begin any inspection without payment. This ensures there are no disputes about the price after the job is done. I always complete the inspection and provide either an official Safety Certificate or an official Inspection Report. You can see how satisfied my clients are by reading my Google Reviews.
Simply type your postcode into the booking page to see prices and options immediately. Pricing varies depending on the time frame you choose — the more flexible you are, the cheaper it is. I also offer unattended inspections (just leave your key) and inspections at your workplace. Some locations have a slightly higher fee, and Saturdays are also slightly higher.
You’ll get a clear report explaining why it didn’t pass and what needs to be fixed. Once the repairs are done, you can book a re-inspection. There’s a small call-out fee for the re-inspection — between $50 and $80 depending on the time frame you choose (Saturdays are slightly higher).
Make sure the vehicle starts. For trailers, ensure they are parked on a flat, hard surface — I can’t move the trailer for you. I also can’t inspect vehicles stuck in mud or vehicles that don’t start. If I arrive and can’t do the inspection for these reasons, I’ll need to charge a call-out fee.
Also, make sure the vehicle is clean, all lights are working, tyres are in good condition, there are no warning lights on the dash, and the horn, seatbelts, and windscreen wipers are functioning. All seats must be fitted — missing seats without a mod plate will result in a failed inspection. Preparing your vehicle properly helps avoid delays or a failed inspection.
No problem — simply call me. You can reschedule or cancel at no cost if it’s before I start driving to you. If I’ve already started driving and you suddenly decide to reschedule or cancel, I’ll need to charge a call-out fee. I just ask that you give as much notice as possible so I can offer the slot to another client.

Most bookings can be done the same or next day — just check my online booking system. You choose a time frame that works for you, and I’ll come to your home or work. I also offer unattended inspections; all I need is the key.
No. I only inspect and report on your vehicle’s condition. If repairs are needed, you can take your vehicle to any mechanic of your choice — meaning there’s no conflict of interest with my inspection. I have zero incentive to sell you a repair job.
Most inspections take about 20 minutes. You’ll know immediately if your vehicle passes or if there’s work to be done.
I completely understand and respect that. That’s why I only give realistic time frames — and unlike others, I don’t make empty promises and then show up late. If I arrive late, the inspection is half price or free. That’s my on-time guarantee.
Yes. I can perform inspections at your workplace, your home, or even an unattended location. All I need is access to the vehicle and the key.

Yes. If you can’t be there in person, I can still complete the inspection as long as I have access to the key. I’ll call you with the results and email your report or certificate.

In Queensland, a Safety Certificate is valid for 2 months or 2,000 km, whichever comes first.
