Safety Certificate & Roadworthy Certificate Inspections in Kingston
When you're selling a car, ute, trailer, or any registered vehicle in Kingston, Queensland law requires a current Safety Certificate — also known as a Roadworthy Certificate or RWC — before the registration can be transferred to the buyer. Safety Certificate Logan brings a fully AIS-licensed inspector (Licence #12673) directly to your Kingston address, so there's no towing, no driving across town, and no waiting room.
We cover every vehicle type under 4.5 tonnes GVM — cars, sedans, hatchbacks, wagons, SUVs, 4WDs, utes, vans, motorcycles, scooters, motor trikes, box trailers, boat trailers, camper trailers, and caravans. Whether it's a private sale, a lapsed registration, or a pre-purchase inspection on a vehicle you're about to buy, we attend your location in Kingston and issue your digital certificate on the spot.
Every Vehicle We Inspect in Kingston
What Happens If My Vehicle Doesn't Pass?
If any items need attention to meet Queensland's safety standard, your inspector provides a clear written advisory report. You have 14 days to have those items seen to by a licensed mechanic of your choice, then book a follow-up with us — no extra charge for the same items noted in the original report. Because we never carry out repairs ourselves, our assessments are always 100% independent and in your corner.
