how much for a roadworthy qld

In Queensland it’s called a Safety Certificate, and yes, you’ll pay for the privilege of proving your car won’t disintegrate on the Bruce Highway.

Expect a workshop inspection to land roughly around the hundred-bucks mark for a passenger car, with motorcycles and trailers usually less; mobile inspectors can add a call-out fee on top.

Prices are capped by the state and adjusted periodically, so the exact figure isn’t a Wild West haggle—just check the current prescribed fee before you book.

If the car fails, you’ll need to fix the issues and return for a recheck, which may mean extra cost if it’s more than a simple look-over. Budget accordingly and save the heroics for the driveway.
