VEHICLE STANDARDS

VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS

Certificate of Inspections (COI) for truck and trailer

Due to the high risk of non-compliance as a result of long distance travelling, any vehicle that is COI registered is required to have a current COI at all times. Trucks and Trailers are in this category.

Also, when re-registering a COI required vehicle, all inspections and COI’s issued must be carried out by an Authorised Inspection Station (AIS) approved station. Diesel Services Queensland are approved by the Department of Transport and Main Roads to carry out such inspections together with the issuing of Certificate of Inspection certificates.

Bookings are required for this service so please call us on 07 5537 5222 and we can schedule your vehicle in for the inspection.

VEHICLE TYPES & REQUIREMENTS

Safety Certificates for smaller vehicles and light trailers

Often referred to as a ‘Roadworthy’, Safety Certificates are a legal requirement for every vehicle that is offered for sale or when re-registering an unregistered vehicle. It is a legal requirement that no vehicle can travel on the roads without being registered and therefore, each vehicle on the road must have a Safety Certificate. The purpose of the inspection is to ensure vehicles driven on the roads meet a minimum safety requirement. A typical inspection will check things such as; tyres, brakes, steering, suspension, body rust or damage, windscreen and lights.

• Vehicles requiring Safety Certificates are;
• Cars
• Motorcycles
• Trailers (including caravans) with an aggregate trailer mass (ATM) of 750kg-3,500kg
• Any other vehicles up to 4,500kg gross vehicle mass (GVM)

We can carry out the ‘Roadworthy’ inspection on any of the above vehicles and/or trailers.

Call us today on 5537 5222 and book your vehicle in for a Safety Certificate.

Please note: A Safety Inspection is not a comprehensive mechanical inspection. Please advise if you also require this service.

We all know that a regular inspection on any working machinery with moving parts can save money. But, that is only if problems are attended to when found. We don’t need to tell you that heavy trucks, buses and plant are no exception. Inspections will find the problem/s and troubleshooting fixes those problems. Regardless of what is discovered during the inspection, we can assure you that if found in time, once remedied, any potential expensive disaster is averted and replaced with a lesser maintenance charge
