When looking for a safety certificate provider, a lot of people get caught out spending more than they have to by not properly researching their local roadworthy assessors. To save you the guesswork, we’ve put together a few things to look for before you book!

Qualifications

A roadworthy assessor should be a qualified and licensed mechanic with accreditation to perform roadworthy assessments. Depending on their accreditation a roadworthy inspector will be licensed to assess certain types of vehicles, but not ALL. When you’re searching for a local roadworthy assessor, it’s worthwhile typing in your vehicle type too, that way you can be sure you’re on the right track! At Totally Mobile Roadworthy, we have roadworthy assessors accredited to cover all vehicles from motorbikes and mopeds to 16-tonne GMV trucks and trailers (and everything in between!).

Reputation 

Unfortunately, when it comes to roadworthy inspections, not all assessors are the same. This is largely because many assessors either refer or work at mechanical workshops, meaning it can sometimes be tough to get an un-biased roadworthy inspection. Because no one wants to be caught out paying for costly and unnecessary repairs, we strongly recommend asking around among friends and family to see if they know of or have used a trusted assessor.

No luck getting a recommendation? A safe bet is always finding a roadworthy service like Totally Mobile Roadworthy that does not offer repairs or have affiliations with mechanical workshops or spare parts shops. This is an easy way to guarantee that you’re getting a more genuine service.
