About Our Ripley Service
From daily drivers to modified vehicles, classics to prestige models — we inspect them all in Ripley. Our licensed inspectors are experienced across the full range of cars, motorbikes, scooters, trailers, and caravans. Rideshare operators needing Uber or DiDi Certificates of Inspection can also book with us, as can anyone requiring a defect clearance.
One of the most common questions we get from Ripley customers is about the inspection process. It's simple: once you book, our inspector heads to your location at the scheduled time. The inspection itself takes around 30–60 minutes depending on vehicle type. Once complete, your certificate is emailed directly to you — usually before we've even left your driveway. Unattended bookings are totally fine.
Honest, Unbiased Inspections
Our inspectors carry no tools for repairs and no list of services to upsell you on. We come, we check, we report — that's the whole job. If something doesn't pass, you'll get a clear, detailed explanation of what needs attention and why. Then you take it to a mechanic of your choice, get it sorted, and rebook us for the re-inspection.
Fully Licensed Safety Certificates
We're licenced as an Authorised Inspection Station (AIS 12673) under Queensland regulations. Every safety certificate we issue in Ripley is fully valid and compliant with the Department of Transport and Main Roads requirements. You'll have everything you need to complete your registration transfer or sale.
