Roadworthy testing in Sunshine North
Selling a car, re-registering one, or clearing a defect notice? You'll usually need a roadworthy certificate from a Licensed Vehicle Tester. P&J Automotive is licensed to test light vehicles and LPG-fuelled vehicles.
A Victorian roadworthy inspection checks the vehicle's key safety items, including:
- Wheels and tyres
- Steering, suspension and brakes
- Seats and seatbelts
- Lights and reflectors
- Windscreen, windows, front wipers and washers
- Vehicle structure
- Other safety items on the body, chassis or engine
Inspection items as listed by Transport Victoria.
Servicing and repairs
From scheduled servicing to engine, brake and electrical repairs — diagnosed properly and explained in plain English.
Full car service
Oil and filter, fluids, brakes, tyres, battery and safety checks, with a clear report on what's due next.
Logbook service
Serviced to your manufacturer's schedule and stamped in your logbook — without the dealer.
Engine diagnostics
Fault codes read, then tested properly — so you pay for the actual fix, not guesses.
Engine repairs
From oil leaks and overheating to major internal faults, with honest repair-or-replace advice.
Brake service
Pads, discs, fluid and hydraulics checked and repaired so your car stops straight and safely.
Vehicle inspection
Know a car's real mechanical condition before you buy it — beyond what a roadworthy covers.
Why drivers choose P&J Automotive
Servicing, repairs and roadworthies in one place
If your car needs work to pass a roadworthy, the same workshop can do the repairs and the re-inspection — no shuttling between businesses.
Licensed Vehicle Tester for light vehicles and LPG
Licensed under Victoria's roadworthiness scheme, including LPG-fuelled vehicles, which not every tester is set up for.
Logbook servicing without the dealer
We service to your manufacturer's schedule and stamp your logbook. Under ACCC guidance, that doesn't void your new-car warranty.
Honest advice, explained before work starts
It's the most common theme in our Google reviews. As one customer put it, Naren “took the time to explain exactly what the issue with my car was before carrying out any work and was completely transparent about the costs involved.” Read the reviews.
