Roadworthy Certificates in Craigieburn

Yes. Freddy's Auto Care is a VicRoads Licensed Vehicle Tester, licence number EX12487, and issues Victorian roadworthy certificates from the workshop at 14 Potter Street, Craigieburn.

A roadworthy certificate is current and usable for 30 days from the date it is issued, and it can be used more than once for registration or transfer purposes within that window. It does not guarantee the vehicle stays in a roadworthy condition for the whole 30 days.

In Victoria you need one when selling a registered vehicle, when re-registering a vehicle, and to clear some defect notices. Some vehicles are exempt, so check your circumstances if you are unsure.

The inspection itself is usually well under a day for a passenger vehicle, but the honest answer depends on the vehicle and how much needs closer investigation. It is best to book so the hoist and the tester are set aside for it. Call (03) 9219 0223.

You are given a report identifying the items that did not pass. In Victoria you then have 14 days to have those items repaired and the vehicle re-checked; beyond 14 days a new full test is payable. Because Freddy's Auto Care is both the tester and a full mechanical workshop, the repairs and the re-check can be done in the one place.

The cost depends on the vehicle's age, type and condition, so the Department of Transport and Planning advises asking your licensed vehicle tester for a quote before starting. Call (03) 9219 0223 with your vehicle details and we will quote it.

No. A roadworthy inspection assesses safety-related items only. It does not assess mechanical reliability or general condition, it does not cover non-safety items such as air conditioning or electric windows, and it does not certify compliance with all Australian Design Rules. For an assessment of overall condition, ask for a separate pre-purchase inspection.
