Road safety is a crucial aspect of any transport system, and it's important to ensure that vehicles on the road are in good working condition.
One way to ensure that your vehicle meets the roadworthiness standards is by taking it to a Queensland approved licensed inspection station like SDJ Mechanical who can issue you RWC (Roadworthy Certificates) or Safety Certificate.
In Queensland, you will need an RWC if you are transferring vehicle registraiton to a new owner, transferring registration from another state or territory or when you are re-registering your vehicle.
Located in the heart of Wandoan, SDJ Mechanical is a licensed authorised inspection station for up to 4.5-tonne vehicles. Our team of experienced and qualified technicians provide thorough and reliable vehicle inspections, ensuring that every aspect of the vehicle meets the safety standards.
