Motorcycle & scooter
roadworthy inspections.

At Brighton Service Centre, an eligible motorcycle or scooter roadworthy inspection is $220 including GST. This includes one recheck within 14 days. If the vehicle has drum brakes, the additional dismantling charge is $100 including GST, bringing the total to $320. Repairs are extra and a pass is not guaranteed.

No. This service is for unmodified, stock-standard petrol road motorcycles and scooters. Aftermarket exhausts, changed lighting, handlebars, suspension, engine or frame can affect eligibility. If you are unsure, contact the workshop before requesting a drop-off.

Drum brakes need dismantling for inspection. Motorcycles and scooters with drum brakes have an additional $100 charge including GST, making the total inspection fee $320 including GST. Tell us about drum brakes in your enquiry, or select “I’m not sure” so the workshop can check.

Eligible unregistered motorcycles and scooters can be inspected. Arrange lawful transport and confirm any permit and road-test requirements with the tester first. An inspection booking does not make it legal to ride an unregistered vehicle on public roads.

Our workshop is at Factory 2 / 12 Joel Court, Moorabbin VIC 3189. Inspections are carried out at the workshop. Call 03 9592 3681 if you need directions or want to discuss your vehicle before enquiring.

A roadworthy certificate is generally needed when selling or re-registering a vehicle, or clearing certain defect notices. Exemptions can apply. Check the current requirements with VicRoads or Transport Victoria for your transaction. A roadworthy inspection is a safety inspection, not a comprehensive mechanical condition report.

For the first few weeks, bookings are available Tuesday–Friday with 10 am or 12 pm drop-off only. All requests need workshop confirmation. Inspections usually take 2–3 hours; repairs, rechecks or issues found may take longer. Wait for our text or call before bringing your vehicle in.

You receive a report identifying the items that need attention. Repairs are quoted separately and require your approval; you can choose your repairer. The vehicle needs to be rechecked within 14 days, otherwise a new full inspection is required. Our motorcycle and scooter price includes one recheck within 14 days. Confirm car recheck terms with the workshop.

A Victorian roadworthy certificate is current for 30 days from issue. It reflects the vehicle’s condition at the inspection and does not guarantee future condition or mechanical reliability.

No. We do not offer roadworthy inspections for electric or hybrid cars, including plug-in hybrids. Our car service is for petrol and diesel vehicles. Motorcycles and scooters must be unmodified, stock-standard petrol vehicles.

Yes. Pay by cash or card at the workshop and receive a receipt. No online payment is required when you send an enquiry. Repairs, if needed, are quoted separately.

Trade pricing is available for multiple cars, motorcycles or scooters. Contact the workshop with the vehicle types, quantities and timing for a quote. Motorcycle and scooter eligibility still applies.

Bring your driver licence so we can sight it in person for every inspection. If the vehicle is not currently registered in Victoria, including if it is unregistered, also bring paperwork showing you own it. Provide the VIN in your enquiry if you can find it; you can still enquire without it. For modified cars, bring any relevant modification or engineering approval documents.

For every vehicle, provide a contact name, email and phone number, plus the vehicle owner’s full name and address, plus the driver licence details of the person presenting the vehicle for inspection. Include the vehicle type, make, model, year and preferred drop-off day and time. Registered vehicles need the registration number. For unregistered vehicles, include a VIN or chassis number if available. For interstate-registered vehicles, include the VIN if you can find it. For any vehicle not currently registered in Victoria, including an unregistered vehicle, bring paperwork showing you own it. VIN, chassis and engine numbers are optional on this enquiry form. Bring your driver licence to be sighted at every inspection. Describe car modifications and tell us about motorcycle or scooter drum brakes. If you need help locating the numbers, let the workshop know.

Yes, if today is Tuesday–Friday and a 10 am or 12 pm drop-off is still ahead. Availability must be confirmed by the workshop. Call 03 9592 3681 before bringing your vehicle in. We are not taking Monday or weekend bookings during this initial period.

Inspections usually take 2–3 hours from drop-off, but this is an estimate. We’ll agree an estimated collection time when confirming your booking. Drop-off time is not the inspection start time. We’ll text when your vehicle is ready, including if it is ready earlier, and contact you if the estimate changes. Please wait for that message before collecting. Repairs and rechecks may take additional time.

Please give at least 24 hours’ notice where possible. If you need to change your appointment sooner, call 03 9592 3681. No online payment is taken when you enquire.
