Hello,
I'm looking to get a cheap roadworthy certificate in Melbourne. Believe Car just needs no work to be done to pass RWC. Have called a number of mechanics and the standard rate is about $200 for this service.
Does anyone know of any local mechanics that will do this service for cheaper?
If the car does fail the inspection, general rule is I have 7 days to fix the problems and have it re-tested. Do mechanics charge for the re-test or is this provided with the initial price?
Thanks
You will have 14 days to have the issues rectified. You don't have to get the RWC tester to do the work NOR do you have use to anyone he suggests ("I have a guy that does windscreens…")
Generally, you do not have to pay for reinspection as they usually just checking that the work that was outstanding has been done. After 14 days, if you fail to present the vehicle for reinspection, you will have to pay for the RWC again.
Once the RWC has passed, it will remain valid for 30 days from date of issue.
More information (weirdly enough) can be found on the Vic Roads website
