What most often fails an inspection.
Tyres below 1.5mm or damaged
The single most common fail. Uneven wear from poor alignment fails too, even when the centre still looks fine.
Worn brakes or pulling
Thin pads, scored rotors or an imbalance across an axle will all fail the brake check.
Blown globes and cracked glass
A single dead indicator globe or a chip in the driver's line of sight is enough to fail.
Suspension play and oil leaks
Worn bushes, leaking shocks or ball joint play show up instantly once the car is on the hoist.
Everything included, no surprises.
Full Hoist Inspection
Every check done with the car lifted, including underbody and structural rust.
Usually Under An Hour
Most passenger vehicles are inspected and reported on within the hour.
Report Explained
We go through the findings with you, in plain language, before you pay.
Tyres Fixed On Site
The most common fail is a tyre, and we're a tyre shop, so it's sorted immediately.
Repairs In House
Brakes, suspension, lights and steering all repaired here, no second workshop.
Free Re-Check
Once we've repaired the failed items, the re-inspection is free.
Where your roadworthy inspection gets done.
Everything happens under one roof at 110 Wollongong Street, Fyshwick — tyre fitting, spin balancing, computerised alignment and full mechanical servicing.
Budget, mid-range and premium tyres in stock, fitted while you wait.
Booked in, in three steps.
Book before your rego is due
Call 1800 701 030 with your rego and give yourself a week or two of breathing room in case something needs fixing.
Inspection on the hoist
A full safety inspection, usually under an hour, with the car lifted so nothing is checked by eye from ground level.
Report and repairs
We walk you through the report. If something failed, we quote it, and once repaired the re-check is free.
Fixed inspection fee, quoted when you book
The inspection fee is the same whether the vehicle passes or not. Any repairs needed are quoted separately and only done with your approval.

Wrong fuel & truck tyres,

Fuel drains and commercial tyre fitting for Canberra, Queanbeyan and Goulburn, handled from our Fyshwick workshop.
Canberra locals rate us 5.0 out of 5
"Booked a set of four tyres online and dropped the car off on my way to work. Ready by lunchtime, balanced perfectly and the price matched the quote exactly."
"Had a slow leak that turned out to be a nail in the sidewall. They were upfront that it couldn’t be repaired and had a replacement tyre fitted within the hour."
"Logbook service done properly, stamped and everything, for a lot less than the dealership quoted. Will be bringing both our cars here from now on."
"Steering was pulling to the left after some suspension work elsewhere. Wheel alignment fixed it completely, and they showed me the before and after printout."
"Punctured a tyre on the Federal Highway. Called ahead, they had it repaired the same afternoon and even checked the tread on the other three at no extra cost."
"Vibration through the wheel at highway speed turned out to be a balancing issue. Sorted in under 40 minutes and hasn’t come back since."
Roadworthy Inspection for customers across Canberra & Queanbeyan.
Whether you're renewing ACT registration, transferring a vehicle bought interstate or checking over a used car before you hand over the money, a proper inspection on a hoist beats a walk-around in a driveway. We inspect at our Fyshwick workshop, service customers from Queanbeyan, Belconnen, Gungahlin, Woden and Tuggeranong, and because we're a full tyre and mechanical workshop, most failures can be fixed the same day rather than bouncing you between businesses.
Six reasons drivers, fleets and families choose our workshop.

Budget to premium, all in stock

Brakes, suspension, diagnostics and auto electrical handled in the same visit, so you only book the car in once.
Old tyres recycled, not dumped
Every tyre we remove goes to a licensed recycler. Disposal is quoted upfront, never a surprise on the invoice.
