Before a vehicle can be driven on Queensland roads, it must obtain a roadworthy certificate. This certificate is a statement that the car meets the requirements set by Queensland’s Department of Transport and Main Roads, and is therefore safe enough to drive. By making roadworthy certificates a requirement, we can help to keep drivers and their passengers safe on Queensland roads. 

Although you no longer need to display a safety certificate before offering a vehicle for sale, it is still a requirement for your car to have a valid roadworthy certificate when transferring registration to a new owner, when re-registering an unregistered vehicle, or when transferring your car’s registration to Queensland from a different state or territory. Without a valid Queensland roadworthy certificate, your car is not legal to drive.

The first step to obtaining a roadworthy certificate involves getting your vehicle checked by a licenced vehicle tester. If you’re planning to sell or re-register your vehicle soon, the team at Hi-Mech Auto Solutions can conduct your roadworthy inspection, and help fix any problems that may prevent you from receiving your certificate.

What is covered in a Roadworthiness Inspection?

A roadworthy inspection involves checking the condition of the main components of your vehicle to ensure that it is safe to drive. Each inspection includes:

• Seats and Restraints
• Lamps (lights) and electrical components
• Windscreens and glazing
• Body, chassis and frame
• Tow couplings
• Steering and Suspension
• Wheels and tyres
• Brakes
• Engine, driveline and emissions
• Vehicle safety features
• Passenger Transport
• Modifications

Additional components related to vehicle safety standards may also need to be checked,  depending on the year, make, and model of your car. If the inspection does find your vehicle to be unroadworthy, they will provide a list of the issues that need to be fixed. This will help guide your next steps to get your vehicle back up to standards in order to pass the next inspection.

In Queensland, cars are not the only vehicles that require safety checks. There are also requirements to obtain motorcycle roadworthy certificates and trailer roadworthy certificates if the aggregate caravan or trailer mass is between 750kg and 4,500kg. Additionally, any vehicle up to 4,500kg gross vehicle mass (GVM) must also undergo a road safety inspection. 

It is important to note that a Queensland roadworthy certificate only involves an inspection of the basic safety components of your vehicle and is not a guarantee that the vehicle is mechanically reliable. If you’re looking for a more comprehensive inspection on the general condition of your vehicle, you can contact the professionals at Hi-Mech Auto Solutions.

How to Get a Roadworthy Certificate

In Queensland, a roadworthy certificate can only be issued by a licensed vehicle tester at an approved inspection station. Hi-Mech Auto Solutions has inspectors that are legally permitted to conduct roadworthy checks, using the latest diagnostic tools and equipment to follow the standards set by the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads.

While many vehicle owners may be tempted to take their car’s air conditioning for granted, the truth is that your car’s cooling and climate control system can make or break your comfort levels on the road. Like other important parts of your vehicle, the air conditioner is a complex system that is prone to routine wear and tear over time. It therefore requires regular maintenance in order to keep the temperature at a comfortable level.

Even small issues with your air conditioning can cause your car to run less efficiently, which in turn uses more petrol and ultimately costs you more. For these reasons, it is beneficial to book your car in for a car air conditioning service every 1-2 years.

How Does Car Air Conditioning Work?

A poorly maintained car air conditioner can greatly reduce the comfort of your drive, particularly if you have a newer vehicle with automatic climate control. Your car’s air con also plays an important role in windscreen demisting. In cold weather, a broken air conditioner may not be able to remove fog from windows, which can impair driver visibility and become a safety hazard.

It is often most problematic when the car air conditioning isn’t working effectively resulting in higher fuel consumption. Whether the problem is due to general wear and tear, or to an individual part, it is important to repair your air conditioning as soon as possible to ensure your car runs safely and efficiently.

How Often Should You Check Your Car’s Air Conditioning?

Like any other part of your car, the air conditioner is a system that requires regular maintenance in order to function properly. Most mechanics recommend you schedule a car aircon regas every 1-2 years to keep the refrigerant in the system topped up. This is a fast, simple and affordable process.

As air conditioning is not usually included in your car’s general service appointments, you may like to use your regas as a chance to book a specialised air conditioner service. This can optimise your vehicle’s performance, and increase the lifespan of the air conditioner.

Your Local Car Air Conditioning Experts

Because an experienced auto technician will often be able to identify small problems with your car’s air conditioning before they become major issues, you should ensure your air con is regularly serviced. For your next car air conditioning repair or regas, trust the team at Hi-Mech Auto Solutions.

As part of the Bosch Car Service Network, our team is fully equipped with the latest automotive technology to ensure you’re getting the best results. Our qualified technicians are skilled in providing high quality service to units across most vehicle makes and models.

If you are looking to maintain the safety and performance of your car, it is highly recommended that your logbook servicing is completed in accordance with the manufacturer’s set schedule. For new vehicles, you should get logbook servicing every 10,000 kilometres driven, or six months after your last one.

What is a Logbook Service?

A logbook service involves bringing your vehicle back to its best condition, meeting standards set by the manufacturer. A logbook service might include replacing old parts in your vehicle (like filters) with newer ones, refilling vital fluids and checking on its general roadworthiness.

Keep Your Warranty Valid

Most car dealers require regular logbook servicing to keep your car under warranty. This is generally the minimum requirement set, meaning that if you do not have a record of your logbook services, the dealership could refuse to cover repairs when something goes wrong.

Your vehicle will have a recommended servicing schedule, which you will need to stay up to date with in order to keep your warranty valid. With logbook servicing, you save potentially thousands of dollars if something goes wrong, while keeping your vehicle in top condition.

At Hi-Mech Auto Solutions, our trained mechanics can give you the full picture regarding your car’s health. Our team will get your vehicle back to the standard set by the manufacturer, and you can get back on the road with a car that is as good as new.

Know Your Vehicle’s History

It isn’t always easy to keep track of every service your car has had. Your logbook can serve as an important record of which services you have completed and when. By keeping up with the manufacturer’s suggested servicing schedule, you will have a detailed history in your logbook, which can also tell you when your next service is due.

Having this record will be helpful if your car needs repairs, as the mechanic will be able to assess your servicing history and identify any problems quickly, saving you time and money.

Increase Resale Value

If you decide to sell your car at some point, you will be sure to get more money if it has been looked after. By keeping up with your logbook services, you will have proof you can show to a prospective buyer that your car has been kept in the best-possible condition.

After each logbook service, the mechanic will give you a stamp in your auto maintenance logbook to certify that the work has been completed by a professional and that the vehicle has been restored to the manufacturer’s standards. With this stamp, your buyer can know that the car has been properly looked after, meaning you’ll be able to ask for a higher price.

Avoid Costly Repairs

When it comes to owning a car, the last thing you want is to be paying for expensive repairs after major breakdowns. Regular servicing is the simplest way to prevent needing these costly repairs, as you will keep your car in the best condition possible. Logbook servicing is about spending a little bit now so that you save a lot down the road.
For the logbook service Towoomba residents can trust, get in touch with the expert team at Hi-Mech Auto Solutions. You can reach us by calling (07) 4646 2644 or completing our online booking form today.

The importance of your car’s suspension system cannot be overstated. It is one of the most essential elements of your vehicle that keeps you safe when driving, maintaining friction between your tyres and the road. When your suspension is working as it should, you maintain better control over your car.

When you notice that your car suspension isn’t working properly, it is important to get it serviced or repaired as soon as possible. If left to deteriorate, you could be putting you and your loved ones at risk on the road. Given that the suspension impacts your steering and handling, taking care of it is an easy decision.

Do I Need Auto Suspension Repairs?

Car suspensions will generally last a long time without needing major repairs. However, your suspension system can also be easily damaged, particularly if you encounter a lot of potholes, drive off-road in a vehicle not designed for it, or hit something such as a rock or the curb. If your suspension becomes damaged, you should get repairs as quickly as you can.

Many people wonder how they will even know that their suspension needs servicing or repairs. Thankfully, there are a few common signs pointing to poor suspension. When driving over bumps in the road, you may hear some unexpected noises if your suspension needs fixing. If your car is handling poorly or struggling with inclines, regardless of the size, it may be due to poor suspension. Finally, should your vehicle begin vibrating while you drive, it may be time to visit the professionals for suspension repairs.

We highly recommend that you avoid driving if your suspension becomes damaged. With poor handling, you increase the risk of being in an accident. Keep yourself and your loved ones out of harm’s way and avoid costly repairs after an accident by letting the professionals at Hi-Mech Auto Solutions take care of your auto suspension servicing.

What Does Car Suspension Servicing Involve?

When you get a suspension service at Hi-Mech Auto Solutions, we take a close look at the individual parts that make up your suspension system. This includes shock absorbers and struts, which reduce the impact of bumps while driving and give you control over the vehicle.

If any of these parts need replacing, we will be able to change them to get your suspension back to its best condition. We only use Bosch-approved, quality parts in all our repairs and replacements. It is worth noting that if any of the shocks need replacing, we recommend changing them all so that your car handles evenly.

Let Us Handle Your Auto Suspension Repairs

The Hi-Mech Auto Solutions partnership with the Bosch Car Service Network gives our customers assurance that all repairs will be completed to the highest standard, with our mechanics professionally trained so that we meet the requirements of all Bosch workshops.

With all the tools and knowledge needed to complete your next suspension service or repairs, the Hi-Mech Auto Solutions team is ready to help. After your car suspension service, your vehicle will handle as smoothly as ever before.
