Roadworthy Certificate Clyde North and Berwick inspections
A Roadworthy Certificate Clyde North inspection checks whether an eligible vehicle meets applicable Victorian roadworthiness requirements at the time of inspection.
A roadworthy certificate is a safety inspection. It does not guarantee a vehicle’s future reliability or provide a complete mechanical assessment. If defects are found, we explain the result and the next steps.
When might you need a roadworthy certificate?
Re-registering a vehicle
A certificate may be required when registering or re-registering a vehicle in Victoria.
Clearing a defect notice
Your defect notice will state whether a roadworthy certificate or another inspection is required.
The inspection
What does a roadworthy inspection cover?
The inspection checks safety-related items against the applicable Victorian roadworthiness requirements, including:
- Wheels and tyres
- Brakes, steering and suspension
- Seats and seatbelts
- Lights and reflectors
- Windscreen, windows, wipers and washers
- Body, chassis and other safety-related components
Your inspection in three simple steps
1. Choose and book
Choose Clyde North or Berwick, then send a booking request or call the workshop to confirm availability.
2. Bring in your vehicle
A normal inspection usually takes around one to two hours. Timing may vary with the vehicle and inspection outcome.
3. Receive the result
If the vehicle passes, a certificate can be issued. If it does not pass, you receive a defect report.
Repairs and reinspection

I had an excellent experience dealing with the team and couldn’t be happier with the overall service I received. From start to finish, the entire roadworthy process was seamless and completely hassle-free. The service was also very reasonably priced and offered great value for money.
I dealt with Jagmeet, who looked after me exceptionally well. He was patient, courteous and genuinely attentive throughout the entire process. His attention to detail, extensive knowledge and willingness to assist made the whole experience even better.
It’s great to come across a team that combines expertise, honesty, great customer service and competitive pricing. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy place for a roadworthy inspection or any other vehicle servicing needs.
I’ll certainly be returning in the future and would have no hesitation in recommending them to friends and family!
