Service detailWhat’s included in a safety certificate inspection
A safety certificate (also known as a roadworthy certificate) confirms your vehicle meets Queensland’s minimum safety standards. As an RACQ Approved Inspection Station, Memmotts carries out the full inspection and issues your certificate on the spot when your vehicle passes. Our inspection covers the key safety components, including:
- Tyres, wheels and wheel bearings
- Brakes and brake components
- Steering and suspension
- Lights, indicators and reflectors
- Windscreen, windows and wipers
- Seatbelts and seats
- Body, chassis and structural condition (rust and damage)
- Exhaust system and visible fluid leaks
If your vehicle needs anything put right to pass, we can inspect your car, fix what needs fixing and provide your certificate — all under one roof. It’s the simplest way to get a safety certificate in Brisbane without running between a mechanic and an inspection station.
Why usWhy choose Memmotts for safety certificates
Memmotts Automotive has been a trusted name on Brisbane’s northside since 1956, when Robert Memmott first opened the doors. Today his son Ray Memmott runs the business, carrying on the same commitment to honest advice and quality workmanship. As an RACQ Approved Inspection Station and RACQ member, we’re authorised to inspect and issue safety certificates — and we’ll always tell you straight whether your car will pass or what it needs first. With two convenient northside workshops at Windsor and Grange, and a genuine European specialty alongside all other makes and models, we’re well placed to look after whatever you drive. No pressure, no upselling — just a fair inspection and the certificate you need.
What to watch forWhen you need a safety certificate
In Queensland, a safety certificate is legally required for most registered vehicles before you advertise or sell them, and when transferring registration to a new owner. If you’re selling a second-hand car, you’ll need a valid certificate before it goes on the market. Buying instead? A pre-purchase inspection gives you peace of mind about the vehicle’s condition before you commit. Either way, just give us a call to arrange an appointment and bring the car in. We’ll carry out the inspection, talk you through anything we find, and sort out your safety certificate so you can move forward with confidence.
