Queensland's Trusted Mobile Inspection Specialists
We built Roadworthy Center on a simple idea: every driver deserves an honest, independent assessment of their vehicle — delivered at their door, not a workshop.
Started in a Driveway. Built on Trust.
Roadworthy Center was founded by a licensed automotive technician with over a decade of hands-on experience across dealerships, fleet operators, and private workshops throughout South East Queensland.
After years of watching customers get caught out by hidden defects, rushed inspections, and conflicted advice, we set out to do things differently — a mobile inspection service that puts the customer first, every time.
Today we service Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich, and Logan, offering everything from standard roadworthy certificates to AVILOO-certified EV battery testing — all at your location, on your schedule.

Our Commitments to You
Honest & Independent
We work for you — not the seller, not the dealer. Our only job is to give you an accurate, unbiased assessment of the vehicle's condition.
We Come to You
No need to tow or drive a questionable vehicle across town. We bring the inspection to your driveway, workplace, or the seller's address.
Fast Turnaround
Most inspections are completed within 45–60 minutes. Certificates and reports are issued the same day.
Customer First
We explain every finding in plain language — no jargon, no upselling. You'll know exactly what you're dealing with before you decide.
What Our Customers Say
“Chris found a cracked chassis rail the dealer's own mechanic had missed. Saved me from a very expensive mistake. Absolutely worth every cent.”
