Get Your Roadworthy Sorted
Selling your car? Bought something second-hand recently? You’ll need a Roadworthy Certificate. At Pialba Brake, Clutch & Steering in Hervey Bay, we’re licensed to do official RWC inspections, so you can get it ticked off without the usual runaround. We check the stuff that actually matters — brakes, tyres,
steering, suspension, seatbelts, lights, and the windscreen. If it’s all good, you get your certificate. If it’s not, we’ll show you exactly what failed and what it takes to fix it. No mystery, no guessing, just a straight answer.

What We Look At Carefully
A roadworthy isn’t about making your car perfect, it’s about making sure it’s safe enough.
We’ve seen cars fail for things as small as bald tyres, blown bulbs or wipers that don’t clear the screen properly — stuff you might overlook until the day it matters. On the bigger end, it’s brakes that don’t stop straight, steering that feels loose, or suspension that’s completely shot.
We’ll run through it properly, let you know where you stand, and if something needs attention, we can fix it here in the workshop straight away. That way you’re not just ticking a box for rego — you’re driving a car that’s actually safe to be on the road every day.
When do I need a roadworthy certificate in Queensland?
A roadworthy certificate (also called a safety certificate) is required when a registered vehicle is being sold, when it’s being re-registered, or when transferring registration from one person to another. It applies to cars, motorcycles, trailers and caravans. Without a valid RWC, you cannot legally complete the transfer or register the vehicle, so it’s best to organise it early in the process.
What does a roadworthy inspection cover?
A roadworthy inspection checks that the vehicle is safe to drive on public roads. This includes the condition of tyres, brakes, suspension, steering, windscreen, wipers, lights, indicators, seatbelts, mirrors, body rust, and oil leaks. It is not a full mechanical service or pre-purchase inspection—it only covers essential safety components.
What happens if my car fails the inspection?
If your vehicle doesn’t meet the safety standards, you’ll receive a detailed report listing the items that need attention. You then have 14 days to carry out the repairs and return for a re-inspection. If repairs aren’t completed within that timeframe, a new inspection will be required. The process ensures that all vehicles on the road meet a basic safety threshold.
