where to get a road worthy certificate

You’ll get a roadworthy from authorised inspection centres: in VIC it’s a Licensed Vehicle Tester, in QLD an Approved Inspection Station, and in NSW it’s the eSafety Check (the famous “pink slip”). Many normal mechanics are authorised, and mobile inspectors can come to you if your driveway is more convenient than a waiting room. Expect to pay roughly $70–$200 depending on state and vehicle, and a re-check fee if it fails. Book ahead, bring rego/VIN details, and present the car clean with lights, tyres, and windscreen in honest working order. If it doesn’t pass first go, you usually get a short window to fix issues and return—no need to panic, just wrench sensibly. Handy tip: if you’re selling, a fresh certificate saves the buyer’s nerves and your inbox.
