Getting A Roadworthy Certificate For The Car

A roadworthy certificate is more than just a document that helps in buying or selling cars. Cars cannot be driven on roads without a roadworthy certificate and hence getting RWC is a legal procedure. While getting a road worthy certificate it is essential to utilise the services of a licensed RWC company or mechanic. They should be experts who can check every essential component in the vehicle and assess if the vehicle meets the necessary standards. Victorian Roadworthy Centres is one such company that has highly qualified employees capable assessing minute details in the vehicle and ensuring that the vehicle is in a good condition. They offer their services all across Victoria – Albury, Alexandra, Anglesea, Ararat, Bairnsdale, Ballarat, Beechworth, Benalla, Bendigo, Castlemaine.

Steps to get roadworthy certificates:

Since only licensed operators like Victorian Roadworthy Centres can issue roadworthy certificates, the first step is to identify a well-established and reputed operator who has skilled mechanics to assess vehicles.

The next step is to have a thorough inspection of the vehicle. A series of tests are conducted on the vehicle to check if the essential components are good. The major components inspected are:

• ·         Wheels and tyres
• ·         Steering, suspension and braking systems
• ·         Seats and seat belts
• ·         Lamps and reflectors
• ·         Windscreen, and windows including front windscreen wipers and washers
• ·         The structure of the vehicle itself
• ·         Other safety related items on the body, chassis or engine

If these components meet the standards, the vehicle is issued a roadworthy certificate. If the vehicle has any faulty component, then the roadworthy certificate is rejected. The owner then has 7 days to make repairs before another inspection to check the vehicle. If the period exceeds seven days, the RWC process should be started from the beginning.

Benefits of having a roadworthy certificate:

The experts in Victorian Roadworthy Centres say that having RWC for your vehicle is an advantage as it helps us in the following ways:

• Registering the vehicle:

It is essential to register your vehicle, as unregistered vehicles cannot run on the roads as per the law. Having a roadworthy certificate will ease the registration process for the owners as it ensures safety.

• Taking up Ownership:

While selling the car, the buyer transfers the documents of the car to his name. Without a valid roadworthy certificate, the transfer of name is not possible. Thus, vehicles having a roadworthy certificate will be preferred over those without a roadworthy certificate.

• Proof of Safety:

A vehicle is issued with a RWC only if the essential components meet the standards set by the Australian Government. RWC is like an assurance with which we can be certain that the essential components are in good condition. Thus, while selling cars, RWC acts as a proof of safety, ensuring that the seller is reliable.
