Certificates of Inspection (COI)

Transport-approved vehicle safety inspections, compliance testing, and COI certification engineered to keep commercial fleets roadworthy and legal.

Authorised vehicle compliance inspections engineered for fleet roadworthiness

Operating commercial passenger vehicles, buses, taxis, or heavy transport in Queensland requires mandatory Certificates of Inspection (COI) to maintain road registration and safety compliance. Drawing on over 20 years of automotive engineering and mechanical experience, our workshop is an Approved Inspection Station providing thorough COI safety checks and compliance sign-offs. From steering, brakes, and suspension through to wheelchair lifters and emergency exits, we conduct comprehensive testing to ensure your fleet meets strict Queensland Transport standards. We handle all inspection procedures in-house, submitting digital compliance records directly to TMR for fast turnaround.

Thorough safety and compliance testing for commercial transport

Complete inspection protocols that protect driver and passenger safety

We perform detailed multi-point safety inspections to verify that every critical system on your commercial vehicle satisfies state regulations.

Brake, Steering & Suspension Checks: Rigorous testing of brake bias, lining wear, steering linkages, and shock absorbers to ensure total vehicle control.
Structural & Chassis Integrity: Visual and mechanical audits of body mounts, chassis rails, and floor structures to detect fatigue or corrosion.
Safety & Emergency Equipment Verification: Testing seatbelts, door latches, emergency exits, handrails, and lighting systems for immediate operational compliance.
Accessibility & Mobility Equipment Inspections: Auditing wheelchair lifters, floor tracking, restraints, and boarding steps against TMR and NDIS safety standards.

Frequently asked questions

How often does a commercial vehicle need a Certificate of Inspection (COI) in Queensland?

Most commercial passenger vehicles, buses, taxis, rideshare vehicles, and heavy vehicles over 4.5t GVM require a COI every 12 months in Queensland, while high-mileage or specialised commercial transport may require 6-month checks.

Can minor mechanical defects be repaired on-site during the COI inspection?

Yes. As a fully equipped workshop, if our technicians identify minor defects—such as worn wiper blades, blown bulbs, or minor brake adjustments—we can rectify them immediately on-site to help your vehicle pass inspection without requiring a second visit.

Are wheelchair lifters and modified accessibility features checked during a COI?

Yes. For passenger transport and mobility vehicles, we inspect all integrated accessibility equipment, including wheelchair hoists, floor tracking, and restraint systems, ensuring they meet relevant TMR and Australian Standards.

How are COI inspection results submitted to Queensland Transport?

We submit your inspection results electronically directly to Queensland Transport (TMR), issuing your official digital COI immediately so your registration and operational permits remain up to date.

How fast is the turnaround time for a COI inspection at your workshop?

We maintain streamlined workshop scheduling and dedicated inspection bays for fleet vehicles. Most COI inspections are completed in under two hours, allowing your drivers to return to work with minimal disruption.
