Safety Certificate & Roadworthy Certificate Inspections in Forestdale
Whether you're selling a car, re-registering an unregistered vehicle, or considering a pre-purchase inspection on a used vehicle in Forestdale, Safety Certificate Logan has you covered. Our AIS-licensed inspectors (Licence #12673) attend your location — home driveway, workplace, seller's address, or storage facility — and conduct the full Queensland TMR safety inspection wherever the vehicle is parked.
We inspect all light vehicles under 4.5 tonnes GVM across Forestdale — cars, sedans, hatchbacks, wagons, SUVs, 4WDs, utes, vans, motorcycles, scooters, motor trikes, trailers, caravans, and camper trailers. There are no age restrictions and no vehicle types we don't cover. Modified vehicles are assessed against Queensland's VSB14 standards — modifications aren't automatically a problem if appropriately certified.
