Active Motor Repairs in Craigieburn: Your Go-To for Roadworthy Certifications

When it comes to ensuring your vehicle is safe and roadworthy, there's no compromise. With VicRoads setting stringent standards for vehicle safety, obtaining a roadworthy certification is crucial for every driver.

In the heart of Craigieburn, there's one name that stands out in the automotive industry for its unparalleled commitment to vehicle safety - Active Motor Repairs.

As an authorised tester, we are your trusted partners in ensuring your vehicle's roadworthiness. Let's explore why you would need a roadworthy certification for VicRoads and what Active Motor Repairs checks to keep you safe on the roads.

Reasons for a Roadworthy Certification:

1. Compliance with VicRoads Regulations: VicRoads, the governing authority for road safety in Victoria, has put in place strict regulations to ensure that all vehicles meet specific safety standards. A roadworthy certification serves as evidence that your vehicle adheres to these regulations, making it legally fit to drive on the roads.

2. Transfer of Ownership: Are you planning to sell your vehicle or transfer its ownership? In such cases, obtaining a roadworthy certificate is essential. VicRoads requires sellers to provide a current roadworthy certificate to potential buyers, guaranteeing that the vehicle is safe and in good working condition.

3. Re-registration or De-registration: When renewing your vehicle's registration or reinstating a lapsed registration, VicRoads might require you to present a valid roadworthy certificate. Similarly, in case you plan to de-register your vehicle, you might need a certification stating that the vehicle is no longer roadworthy.

Items Checked for Roadworthiness

Active Motor Repairs leaves no stone unturned when it comes to assessing the safety of your vehicle. Here are some crucial elements they thoroughly inspect:

1. Brakes: Ensuring that your vehicle's braking system functions optimally is vital for road safety. We will inspect the brake pads, discs, drums, calipers, and brake fluid to ensure everything is in excellent condition.

2. Tyres and Suspension: Your vehicle's tires and suspension components play a significant role in maintaining stability and control on the road. We will check tyre tread depth, tyre pressure, and the overall condition of suspension components, including shock absorbers and steering mechanisms.

3. Lights and Electrical System: A vehicle's lights, including headlights, indicators, brake lights, and taillights, are essential for visibility and signaling intentions to other road users. We will examine these components, as well as the vehicle's electrical system, to ensure everything is in perfect working order.

4. Exhaust and Emissions: Exhaust system integrity, including checks for leaks and proper functioning of emission control devices, is carried out to ensure compliance with environmental standards.

5. Chassis & vehicle body: Your vehicle must not have any components or obstructions that could potentially lead to structural failure or jeopardise safe operation, a solid floor with no issues, functional parts such as doors, boots, lids, bonnets, and tailgates that are securely attached, bumper bars that are installed properly with no sharp corners or protrusions, a towbar (if applicable) that is in good condition and properly attached, and if the vehicle has a tray type body, the proper mudflaps should be fitted.

A Certificate of Roadworthiness is not an indication of a vehicle's mechanical reliability or overall condition. Rather, it certifies that the inspected components meet certain safety standards, and is not an assurance that any non-safety related accessories such as air conditioning, rear window demister, electric windows, or rear-window wipers are functioning, or will remain functioning after the inspection. Moreover, the Certificate does not guarantee that the vehicle meets all the applicable Australian Design Rules (ADRs).

If you require a more comprehensive vehicle check, we also do full car servicing.

Our professional technicians possess the knowledge and experience required to perform meticulous inspections and issue accurate roadworthy certifications.

When it comes to roadworthy certifications, entrusting your vehicle to an authorised tester is essential for both credibility and expertise. Active Motor Repairs located in Craigieburn, is one such reliable source that has gained the trust of countless drivers over the years.
