Safety Check FAQs

A car safety inspection is a detailed check of your vehicle’s key safety systems, including brakes, tyres, suspension, steering, lights and more. It helps identify any issues that could affect roadworthiness, safety, or performance, giving you peace of mind every time you drive.

While not always legally required, regular safety inspections are highly recommended to keep your vehicle in safe, roadworthy condition. They’re especially useful before long trips, after noticing performance issues, or if it’s been a while since your last check-up. In some cases, like selling a car or renewing rego, a safety check or roadworthy inspection may be required by law.

It includes a comprehensive review of your car’s critical systems: brakes, tyres, suspension, steering, seatbelts, lights, battery, windscreen, and more. At Ultra Tune, we’ll provide a clear report outlining any concerns and recommendations for repairs if needed.

The cost can vary depending on your location and the type of vehicle, but safety inspections at Ultra Tune are competitively priced. For an accurate quote, it’s best to contact your nearest Ultra Tune service centre.

If you’re issued a safety or roadworthy certificate, its validity depends on your state or territory. For example, in Queensland, it typically lasts for 2 months or 2,000 km (whichever comes first) for private sales. In Victoria, it’s usually valid for 30 days. For full details, see our Rego Inspection & Roadworthy Certificate page.

Most inspections take between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the condition of your vehicle and any issues that are found during the check.

When Should You Book a Safety Check?

It’s a good idea to book a car safety inspection if it’s been six months or more since your last one, especially before heading off on a long trip or towing a trailer or caravan. If you’ve noticed any unusual noises, vibrations, or dashboard warning lights, a safety check can help identify the cause early. Many drivers also include it as part of their regular maintenance routine or simply for added peace of mind between scheduled services. Staying on top of these checks means fewer surprises, improved safety, and a longer life for your car.

Why Car Safety Inspections Matter

A car might feel fine to drive but still have hidden problems that compromise safety. Worn brakes, uneven tyre wear or electrical faults can lead to breakdowns — or worse. A proactive vehicle safety inspection can detect these issues early, keeping your family safe and your car road-ready.

At Ultra Tune, we’re not just checking boxes – we’re helping Australians drive with confidence.
