Our Workflow

Our RWC work process is designed to be thorough, transparent and efficient for vehicle owners in Fairfield, Alphington, Northcote and Thornbury.

We begin with a detailed pre-inspection that logs visible defects and performs diagnostics to reveal hidden issues by conducting mechanical checks on brakes, steering, suspension, tyres, and lighting systems. We compile a report and, if standards are met, issue the roadworthy certificate and return your vehicle.

  • Accurate diagnostics pinpoint the root cause precisely without leaving anything behind
  • Quality parts fitted and repairs completed to industry standards
  • Final road test and systems verification confirm roadworthy condition.

Compliance and Transparent Communication for Every Vehicle

Regular RWC inspections find hidden engine or safety issues before they turn serious, preventing roadside breakdowns and protecting occupants.

We strictly adhere to manufacturer guidance and regulatory standards, ensuring that any repairs maintain vehicle integrity and do not compromise compliance or warranty.

At Pickards Automotive, we combine thorough inspections with genuine advice, helping owners make informed decisions and keep their vehicles safe, legal, and reliable.

Common Questions About Roadworthy Inspections and Repairs

What does an RWC inspect and verify?
An RWC inspects brakes, steering, suspension, tyres, lights and even emission systems to ensure a vehicle meets required registration and safety standards on time.
Bring your registration papers, keys and service history record. We will inspect, advise on repairs and issue a roadworthy certificate upon completion.
Usual RWC failures involve worn brake pads, faulty lights, tyre tread below limits or steering and suspension defects requiring repair.
An RWC typically takes one to three hours, depending on the vehicle’s condition, parts availability, and any identified repair needs.
Arrange a pre-inspection to address minor faults first, as this reduces the risk of failure and speeds up the final RWC process and scheduling.
