As a licensed mobile AIS (Licence #12673), our inspectors attend your location in McDowall and carry out a full Queensland safety certificate inspection at a time that suits. We cover all light vehicles under 4.5 tonnes — from everyday cars to 4WDs, motorcycles, trailers, and caravans — 8am to 8pm, seven days a week.
McDowall sees a strong mix of SUV, 4WD, and ute inspections — reflecting the area's popularity with families and tradies alike. We inspect all makes and models, including vehicles with aftermarket accessories such as bull bars, roof racks, and suspension lifts. Modifications are assessed against Queensland's VSB14 standards; if modifications are appropriately certified, they're not an obstacle to issuing a safety certificate.

Why Choose Mobile Over a Workshop?
Traditional inspection stations require you to drive your vehicle to their workshop and wait. If your vehicle is unregistered, that means towing. If you're at work, it means lost time. Our mobile service in McDowall eliminates all of that. We come to your address at a time you choose, complete the inspection around your schedule, and issue your certificate digitally — all without you needing to leave home or the office. It's the way safety certificates should work.
