Same Day Roadworthy Brisbane

Mobile roadworthy Brisbane

A same day RWC without leaving home or work

MEDAUTO™ is a fully mobile Approved Inspection Station. Instead of surrendering half a day to a workshop queue, you pick a time window and our inspector arrives at your driveway in Chermside, your office car park in the Brisbane CBD, or the seller's address in Sunnybank with every tool, jack and TMR-connected device needed to finish the job on the spot.

That mobility is why same day roadworthy Brisbane bookings are realistic for us and not for most workshops. There is no drop-off, no courtesy-car juggling and no second trip to collect the paperwork. The inspection happens where the car already is, which matters enormously when the vehicle is unregistered, freshly imported, part of a deceased estate, or sitting across town at a private seller's house while you decide whether to hand over the money.

Every booking includes the full statutory inspection required in Queensland, a plain-English explanation of the result, and same-day electronic lodgement with the Department of Transport and Main Roads. Whether you call it a roadworthy certificate Brisbane, an RWC Brisbane, or a safety certificate Brisbane, it is the same legal document — and we issue it under our own AIS licence.

Our base is Richlands 4077, roughly central to the whole metropolitan area, so travel time from Ipswich in the west to Wynnum in the east stays short. Most customers who ring in the morning are holding a lodged certificate by the end of the afternoon.

AIS licensing

Licensed, insured and accountable

Only a Queensland Approved Inspection Station can issue a safety certificate, and every AIS holder is auditable by TMR. MEDAUTO™ holds a current AIS licence, ARCtick authorisation AU067078 for air conditioning work, and full public liability and workmanship insurance. Our lead inspector, a qualified mechanical engineer and automotive technician, personally signs off on the vehicles we pass.

The practical benefit for you is impartiality. A mobile roadworthy Brisbane inspection from an independent AIS has no service department behind it hoping to sell you an expensive repair. We inspect against the published Queensland standard, report exactly what we find, and tell you which items are genuine defects versus normal wear you can budget for later.

• Queensland Approved Inspection Station licence
• ARCtick AU067078 for legal air conditioning work
• Fully insured mobile workshop, no towing needed
• Independent — no upsell pressure on repairs
• Written defect report on every inspection
• Free re-inspection within 14 days after repairs

Digital safety certificate

Lodged electronically with TMR the same day

Queensland safety certificates are now digital. When your vehicle passes, we lodge the certificate electronically with TMR before we leave, and the record attaches to the vehicle's registration immediately. You receive your copy by email or SMS, and buyers or transfer staff can verify it online without chasing a paper form.

A certificate is valid for two months or 2,000km for a private seller, and one month or 1,000km for a licensed dealer. That window is why timing matters: booking a same day RWC Brisbane inspection on the morning you list the car gives you the maximum useful life of the certificate rather than burning a week waiting for a workshop appointment.

Inspection checklist

What the roadworthy inspection covers

The Queensland safety certificate inspection is a defined safety check, not a full mechanical assessment. Here is what our inspector works through on a standard light vehicle.

• Tyres — tread depth, sidewall damage, matched sizes
• Brakes — pad and rotor condition, handbrake, pedal travel
• Steering, suspension and wheel bearings for excess play
• Seatbelts, mountings, retractors and buckles
• All exterior lights, indicators and reflectors
• Windscreen chips, cracks and wiper performance
• Body, chassis and structural rust or damage
• Exhaust security, leaks and excessive smoke
• Engine and driveline fluid leaks
• Doors, latches, mirrors and horn operation
• Modifications checked against QLD compliance rules
• Overall roadworthiness assessment and written report

Pricing

Transparent same day RWC Brisbane pricing

Base fees are $102.70 for cars and sedans, $119 for 4WDs, SUVs and utes and $129 for vans and light trucks, plus a travel fee that depends on your location. There is no premium for a same-day slot, an after-hours window or a Saturday morning — get a quote now for an accurate final price.

If a defect is found, minor repairs — globes, wiper blades, fluid top-ups, brake light switches — are usually completed during the same visit at parts cost plus labour, so many vehicles pass in one appointment. Larger repairs are quoted in writing with no obligation, and re-inspection within 14 days is free once the work is done.
