Safety Certification & Modification Plates
At Aitkenvale Auto & Dyno, we are fully accredited to conduct Queensland Transport Safety Certificate inspections, ensuring your vehicle is safe, roadworthy and compliant with state regulations. A Safety Certificate (previously known as a roadworthy certificate) is essential when selling, transferring ownership or re-registering a vehicle. Our qualified mechanics perform detailed inspections, covering key components such as brakes, steering, tyres, suspension, body and lights. We identify any issues that may compromise safety and provide clear guidance on required repairs to meet legal standards. With our expertise and thorough approach, you can trust us to keep your vehicle safe for the road.
In addition to safety inspections, we issue Modification Plates for vehicles that have undergone changes such as performance upgrades, suspension modifications or structural alterations. Our team ensures all modifications meet Queensland’s transport regulations before certification. We carry out comprehensive assessments and issue official Modification Plates once compliance is confirmed, helping you stay fully roadworthy and legal.
Contact Aitkenvale Auto & Dyno to arrange your safety certification or modification assessment today.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I service my car?
Most vehicles should be serviced every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres or every 6 to 12 months—whichever comes first. However, this can vary depending on your car’s make, model, age and how it’s used. If you regularly tow, drive off-road, or take lots of short trips, your engine may need more frequent servicing.
What is included in a standard car service?
A standard car service typically includes an oil and filter change, inspection of all fluid levels (brake, coolant, transmission), tyre pressure and tread check, battery test, brake check, and a general safety inspection. Some services may also include replacing air or cabin filters, spark plugs, or rotating tyres.
Why is regular car servicing important?
Regular servicing keeps your car running safely and efficiently. It helps prevent major mechanical failures, saves you money in the long run, and ensures your vehicle meets legal and environmental standards. Skipping services can lead to premature wear, reduced fuel economy, and expensive breakdowns.
