Roadworthy and repairs, Landcruiser

Provided a RWC and repairs for my Landcruiser. Gave me several cost options and were excellent in communication. Unfortunately there was an issue which was outside their control, that I picked up later, however they went above and beyond to resolve it... just outstanding customer service. VERY honest business that you can trust.

Service, transmission oil and filters

Reliable and high-quality mechanics! I had my first service done with [The mechanic], I changed the transmission oil and all the filters as well. I highly recommend the shop.

What an RWC covers in Victoria

Victoria's roadworthy certificate is a general safety check carried out by a licensed vehicle tester. It's needed to sell a registered vehicle, to re-register one, and to clear some defect notices. It lasts 30 days from the date it's issued, so leave it until the sale is close.

Not every workshop is a licensed tester, which is why the roadworthy job only goes to businesses that are. If something needs fixing first, get a written estimate for that work before saying yes. Roadworthy certificates in Melbourne has more on the 30-day clock.

Narre Warren and its roads

Where the Monash ends

The Monash Freeway finishes in Narre Warren and carries on as the Princes Freeway towards Gippsland. It handles up to 470,000 vehicles a day, one of the busiest freeways in Australia, and peak-hour crawling is hard on brakes.

Fountain Gate

The shopping centre at Fountain Gate is one of the largest in Australia, fed by Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road and Narre Warren North Road. Lots of short trips in and out rarely give a battery the time to recharge properly.

From country town to growth corridor

Narre Warren went from a semi-rural town to part of the south-east growth corridor, with 27,689 people at the 2021 census. When a family outgrows the first car, a private sale means an RWC first.

What we'd do

Before the RWC, we'd walk round the car ourselves: every light and indicator, the horn, the wipers and washers, and the tyre tread. Those are simple things to sort beforehand. Then we'd get the certificate in the last week or so before the buyer collects, so the 30 days don't run out mid-sale.

Questions people ask

How long does an RWC last?

Thirty days from the date it's issued. If the sale falls through and the time runs out, you'll need a fresh one for the next buyer.

Can I get the car serviced at the same time?

Ask the tester. Some do both, some only test. If you'd rather have it serviced first, pick "Service due or logbook service" in the card and do the RWC after.
