Middleborough Car Care is a Licensed Vehicle Tester (LV) in Blackburn South

A Roadworthy Certificate is a mandatory document in Victoria that ensures a vehicle meets the minimum safety standards required for use on public roads. This certificate is necessary for several reasons:

Why a Roadworthy Certificate is Required in Victoria

Vehicle Sale: When selling a vehicle, an RWC is required to complete the transaction. It provides the buyer with confidence that the vehicle is safe to drive. Valid for 30 days.

Re-registration: An RWC is essential when re-registering a vehicle that has been previously registered in Victoria or another state.

Peace of Mind: Even if you are not selling or re-registering your vehicle, obtaining an RWC can give you assurance that your vehicle is in safe operating condition.

At Middleborough Car Care, we are VicRoads Licensed Vehicle Testers and our experienced technicians conduct thorough inspections to ensure your vehicle meets the required safety standards. Our process includes:

Brake System Check: Evaluating the condition and functionality of the braking system.

Steering and Suspension: Ensuring the steering and suspension systems are in optimal condition.

Tyres and Wheels: Checking for wear and tear, and ensuring they meet the legal requirements.

Lights and Reflectors: Verifying all lights and reflectors are working correctly and are visible.

Vehicle Structure: Inspecting the body, chassis, and frame for any damage or wear that could affect safety.

Seat Belts and Restraints: Ensuring all seat belts and restraints are in good working condition.

We specialise in inspecting all passenger vehicles and light commercial vehicles up to 4.5 Tonne like Utes, Vans and Light Trucks (LV). Our team has the expertise to handle a wide range of vehicles, ensuring each one meets the stringent safety requirements set by VicRoads.

Expert Technicians: Our team comprises highly trained professionals with extensive experience in vehicle inspections.

Drive Safe this Winter with a 65 Point Written Vehicle Inspection Report

Our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report is free with every service at Middleborough Car Care in Blackburn South. Our qualified mechanics will visually check over the important components of your vehicle and provide you with a written report on the condition of your vehicle. We can then help you understand any concerns which may need to be attended so that you can drive safe this winter with Middleborough Car Care and Repco Authorised Service.

This could mean there are very different approaches to be prepared for winter driving; however the fundamentals of safe winter motoring remain the same. So how do you make sure your car is set for safe winter motoring? 

We've all experienced that moment where you turn on the wipers on the first rainy day and only then remember you should have replaced them! Wiper blades don't last forever, especially sitting under the harsh Australian sun all summer. A good quality wiper blade like Trico is essential to help you see your way clear regardless of the weather. Middleborough Car Care can recommend a wiper blade or assembly that is right for your car.

Fluids and other components in your car can be impacted by cold weather; especially coolants, oils and items such as glow plugs in diesel vehicles. Regular services are important - especially by a professional who understands the correct parts and products to keep your car in its best operating condition. We use high quality NGK glow plugs and Penrite oils and fluids that are designed for Australian conditions.  

Conditions change - and you need to adjust, as well. In wet weather or poor visibility, slow down and leave a larger than normal stopping distance between yourself and the vehicle in front. 

Keep a look out for the warning signs that your brakes need an inspection, like vibrating, spongy or slow responding brake pedal, strange sounds or difficult handling when applying pressure to your brakes. If your car is doing any of these you should get it checked out by a qualified mechanic. Brake inspections form part of our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report, so if you have concerns call us today and book in.

Driving on worn tyres is dangerous. Now is the time to check that your tyres have plenty of tread left. If you spot uneven tyre wear, this could indicate that your shock absorbers or some other vital part of your steering and suspension systems are due for service or replacement.

As well as costing you more money on fuel, driving on incorrectly inflated tyres can also impact your stopping distance. You can usually find manufacturers recommendations on a panel inside the driver side door.

Drive on the safe side and book in today for a service or a 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report.
