Mobile Roadworthy – Safety Certificates (RWC) Brisbane Northside & Moreton Bay

TEAM AUTO provides Mobile Roadworthy Certificates (Safety Certificates – RWC) across Brisbane, Northside and Moreton Bay. Our AIS‑approved mobile inspectors come to your home or workplace to complete the inspection on‑site. We assess cars, 4WDs, trailers, caravans, boat trailers and rideshare - Uber and Didi vehicles to ensure they meet Queensland’s safety standards before sale, transfer or re‑registration.

A Mobile Roadworthy is a safety inspection carried out at your location instead of a fixed inspection station. It confirms whether your vehicle meets the standards required for selling a registered vehicle, transferring registration or meeting other Queensland Transport requirements. The mobile service is designed to save time by removing the need to travel to a workshop, making it easier to complete the certification process without delays or transport hassles.

Whether you’re selling a car, transferring registration, inspecting a trailer or completing a rideshare COI, our mobile service provides a convenient way to meet Queensland’s safety certificate requirements with an inspection completed on‑site by licensed inspectors.

How the Mobile Roadworthy Inspection Works

Your inspector arrives at your chosen location and carries out a full Mobile Roadworthy inspection in line with Queensland Transport requirements. The inspection covers safety‑related components including brakes, tyres, steering, suspension, lights, windscreen condition, seatbelts and under‑vehicle items. Most inspections take around 30 to 45 minutes depending on the vehicle.

If the vehicle passes, the Safety Certificate is issued immediately. Printed and PDF emailed. If repairs are required, the inspector explains the items clearly and you have up to two weeks to complete the repairs before a re‑inspection. The process is designed to be straightforward, with the inspection completed on‑site and the certificate provided as soon as the vehicle meets the required standards.
