Fantastic local mechanic! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had a great experience with ZK Auto recently when they looked after my work Hilux and they have previously provided us with roadworthy examinations for our vehicles. From the initial communication through to getting the job done, everything was easy, professional and straightforward. It’s fantastic to find a local mechanic who genuinely knows their stuff, takes pride in their work and provides great service. The pricing offers great value and quality for money in my experience. Couldn’t recommend ZK Auto highly enough. If you’re on Brisbane’s Northside, Bunya, Samford and surrounding areas and need a reliable mechanic or a roadworthy definitely give these guys a call! 🚙🔧

After having trouble with some very unreliable mechanics I found Zeke and cannot recommend him more! He is super friendly and efficient and doesn’t push you to do anything that doesn’t urgently need to be fixed. My car is now running great after a service and new breaks.

I had my car serviced by Zeke after hearing so many great recommendations, and he definitely lived up to them! He did an incredible job, was efficient, easy to communicate with, and genuinely friendly throughout the whole process. I couldn’t be happier with the service and will definitely be back. I’ll be recommending him to all my family and friends!

Have Questions?

When do I need a safety certificate (roadworthy) in Queensland?

You need a safety certificate when: selling your registered vehicle in Queensland, transferring registration to a new owner, transferring to Queensland registration from another state or territory, or re-registering an unregistered vehicle. The Safety Certificate is designed to keep vehicles on the road safe to avoid accidents caused by un-roadworthy and defective vehicles, offering buyer protection that the vehicle meets minimum safety standards.

What does a roadworthy safety certificate inspection cover?

During our mobile roadworthy inspection, we thoroughly check:

  • Tyres (tread depth, condition, wheels)
  • Brakes and braking system
    Steering and suspension
  • Lights and electrical systems
  • Windscreen and windows
  • Body and chassis integrity
  • Seatbelts and seats
  • Mirrors and visibility
  • Exhaust and emissions system
What happens if my vehicles doesn't pass?

We’ll give you a detailed report of exactly what needs fixing and why. Get the issues sorted with a mechanic of your choice, then rebook us for a re-inspection.

How much does a roadworthy certificate cost?

Our mobile roadworthy certificates are a fixed $139 for cars and light vehicles. Trailers are $139. That includes your full mobile inspection and certificate emailed on the spot.

We provide transparent pricing online with no hidden fees. Book a time and we’ll be there. 

Important: If your inspection does not result in a pass, a call-out fee of $90 will apply for re-inspections within 14 days. 

How long does an inspection take?

Most inspections take between 45-60 minutes depending on the vehicle type. The certificate is emailed to you on the spot as soon as the inspection is complete.
