About Our Newtown Service
Our Newtown service covers every light vehicle category: cars, SUVs, 4x4s, utes, vans, light trucks, motorcycles, scooters, motortrikes, trailers, camper trailers, and caravans. We're equally comfortable with a brand-new vehicle straight off the lot, a restored classic, a heavily modified build, or a prestige performance car — as long as it's under 4.5 tonnes, we can inspect it.
Once you've booked a time that suits you, an inspector travels to your Newtown location at the scheduled time. The inspection itself runs approximately 30–60 minutes. Your safety certificate is emailed to you as soon as we're done — no waiting for paperwork to come through the post. Unattended bookings are perfectly fine; just leave keys accessible and we'll handle the rest.
Honest, Unbiased Inspections
Because we don't do repairs, there's no conflict of interest in our inspections. Our job is simply to assess whether your vehicle meets Queensland's safety standards and issue the certificate if it does. If it doesn't pass, we give you a detailed list of what needs attention — written clearly enough that any mechanic can act on it. You take that list to whoever you trust, get the work done, and come back to us for the re-check.
Fully Licensed Safety Certificates
All certificates issued by Tick It Roadworthies are produced under Authorised Inspection Station licence AIS 12673. They are fully legally recognised by Queensland Transport and the Department of Transport and Main Roads — valid for vehicle registration, private sales, and clearing defect notices.
