How it works
How Our Mobile Roadworthy Inspections Work
No workshop queue, no dropping the car off. Here's what to expect.
- 01
Check your area
Enter your suburb and choose the inspection you need.
- 02
Book a time
Send a booking request and we'll confirm a suitable appointment.
- 03
Have it ready
Vehicle parked on firm, level ground at the agreed location, keys handy.
- 04
Get your outcome
Receive the inspection result and your certificate or documentation.
An inspection doesn't guarantee a pass. If items need attention, you'll get a clear written list, and next steps depend on the outcome and the applicable Queensland requirements.
Before we arrive
- Park the vehicle on firm, level ground with room to walk around it.
- Make sure you have permission to use the space (e.g. workplace or body corporate).
- Have keys and registration details ready.
- Do a quick check of lights, horn, wipers, seatbelts and tyre tread.
Before your inspection
Know what to check on your car
A few simple checks can help you spot obvious issues before your appointment. We inspect to TMR guidelines, not a sales checklist.
Lights & indicators
Check headlights, high and low beam, indicators, brake lights, tail lights and number plate lights. Ask someone to help check the rear lights.
Tyres & wheels
Look for worn tread, cuts, bulges and uneven wear. Check pressures against the vehicle's placard. Visible damage or exposed cords need professional attention.
Windscreen, wipers & mirrors
Look for cracks or damage in your view of the road. Test the washers and wipers and check that mirrors are secure and usable.
Seatbelts & seats
Check that belts latch, retract and are not frayed. Seats should be secure. Tell us about any restraint or airbag warning lights.
Brakes, steering & suspension
Note any pulling, unusual noise, vibration, loose steering or braking concerns during normal use. These require an inspector's assessment; do not attempt unsafe tests.
Body, doors & visible leaks
Look for obvious rust, sharp edges, damaged panels or fluid leaks. Check door latches and the horn. Mention any concerns when arranging the inspection.
These are visual and everyday-use checks only, not the full inspection or a guarantee of passing. Do not get underneath an unsupported vehicle. If it feels unsafe to drive, stop using it and seek professional advice.
TMR vehicle inspection manualsA clear outcome, based on TMR guidelines
The inspector assesses the applicable safety-related components, not just the items you can easily see at home. A safety certificate records compliance at the time of inspection; it is not a comprehensive mechanical report or a promise of future reliability.
If your vehicle passes, we'll explain the certificate outcome. If it does not, you'll receive a written report of the items requiring attention and guidance on the reinspection process. Ask about anything you don't understand before arranging the next step.
