What Is a Roadworthy Certificate?

A Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) confirms that your vehicle is safe enough to be driven on public roads. It doesn't cover mechanical reliability or cosmetic condition — the focus is purely on safety-critical components.

RWCs are required when:

Genuine or equivalent parts, oils & lubricants used.

Car warranty validation

Transparent pricing & quoting

Qualified mechanics at our auto service centre

Services that meet your manufacturers schedule and requirements

Selling or transferring ownership of a registered vehicle

Re-registering a vehicle that’s been unregistered

Registering a vehicle from interstate

Applying for club/historic registration

Required by insurance or finance companies

Only a VicRoads licensed tester can issue an official certificate. ZPro Automotive is fully accredited to inspect and certify your vehicle.

Brake Service and Repair

Brakes aren’t optional — they’re your car’s most critical safety system. If you’re hearing squealing, grinding, or feeling vibrations when stopping, it’s time to get them checked.

Engine Tune Ups

A rough idle, sluggish acceleration, poor fuel economy, or engine warning lights are signs your vehicle is overdue for a tune-up.

Radiator Replacement and Repairs

Overheating, coolant leaks, or rising temperature gauges are clear signs your radiator isn’t doing its job.

Automatic Transmission Repair and Service

Slipping gears, delayed shifts, strange noises, or warning lights are all signs your transmission needs attention.

Car Air Conditioning Repairs

A working air conditioning system isn’t just about comfort — it’s also essential for clear visibility and year-round climate control.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Changed brake discs and pads on my Suzuki and it was very good service and fast! I got quoted wrong the first time but not their fault as it was a miscommunication. Still it wasn’t very expensive and they did a good job, even recommended me some things for next time!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time taking my car to Shaun.

I had a laundry list of faults to look at along with needing a service on my 2003 BMW.

Shauns work is exemplary, he was in constant contact discussing requirements and costs and he is the type of mechanic who isn't happy until he's nailed every last issue completely.

It's rare to find his level of honesty, capability and passion for his craft, all at a reasonable price.

Shaun even found and fixed an issue that two seperate BMW dealers were unable to resolve.

I'm wrapped to have found my new go to local mechanic.

My two sons will also be getting their cars looked after by Zpro Automotive from now on.

Thanks Shaun! 😁

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took my Mazda 3 for a service. Soan took the time to explain what was done and what needed to be reviewed at the next service.
Overall the car runs smoothly, I appreciated the ease of communication and honesty. Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shaun at Zpro was amazing. He was able to accomodate me immediately to have a look at my Jeep. It had a faulty ignition which had been giving me trouble for a while and ignored by my previous mechanics. Although tracking down the part was hard he was able to find a solution and get me back on the road again. Thank you Zpro….
