Keeping your vehicle in top shape is not just about performance—it’s about safety and compliance too. Roadworthy certificates are a legal requirement in Queensland when selling, re-registering, or transferring ownership of a vehicle.  As an Authorised Inspection Station, Crows Nest Motors are here to help you navigate this important process with ease and efficiency. Our professional team provides thorough roadworthy inspections to ensure your vehicle meets Queensland’s safety standards, offering you peace of mind on and off the road. Understanding Queensland’s Roadworthy Certification Rules In Queensland, roadworthy certificates—also known as Safety Certificates—are a legal requirement for certain vehicle transactions, such as selling, transferring ownership, or re-registering a vehicle. These certifications are designed to ensure vehicles meet minimum safety standards, helping to protect drivers, passengers, and other road users. While obtaining a roadworthy certificate is a key part of vehicle compliance, it is not a comprehensive check of your car’s overall condition. The inspection focuses exclusively on safety aspects outlined by law. For issues unrelated to safety certification, such as engine performance or electrical systems, additional servicing or repairs may be necessary. If you have concerns about your vehicle’s performance beyond the roadworthy inspection, our skilled team at Crows Nest Motors is here to assist. What’s Covered in a Roadworthy Inspection Brake system, including the condition and function of brake pads, discs, and operation. Tyres, ensuring they meet the minimum tread depth and are free from significant damage. Lights and indicators, confirming all are operational and meet visibility standards. Steering and suspension systems, checking for wear, damage, and proper functionality. Windscreen, windows, and wipers, ensuring clear visibility and no critical damage, such as cracks obstructing the driver’s view. Seatbelts, examining their condition, proper installation, and functionality. Vehicle body, checking for structural integrity, including no excessive rust or damage that could affect safety. Exhaust system, inspecting for leaks, excessive noise, and proper attachment. Engine and driveline, ensuring there are no major oil leaks or mechanical faults impacting safety. Fuel system, checking for secure installation and no leaks. Mirrors, ensuring they are in good condition and correctly positioned for visibility. Number plates, verifying they are secure, legible, and meet legal requirements. This inspection focuses solely on safety-related components to confirm roadworthiness. It does not assess the overall mechanical condition or performance of the vehicle. For other concerns, speak to our team. Ensuring your vehicle is roadworthy is a crucial step in maintaining safety for yourself and others on the road. At Crows Nest Motors, we’re dedicated to providing thorough and efficient roadworthy inspections, helping you meet Queensland’s safety standards with confidence. Our team of experienced professionals conducts detailed checks of all key safety components, ensuring your vehicle complies with legal requirements. Whether you’re preparing to sell, transfer ownership, or re-register your vehicle, Crows Nest Motors is here to make the process as smooth and straightforward as possible. Contact our friendly team today to book your roadworthy inspection or to discuss any concerns you may have about your car.

Do you drive an Automatic vehicle? Then you might not even know there is a clutch in your vehicle. But without it, the gears in your car will not change. Crows Nest Motors in Crows Nest know all about repairing and servicing these systems including clutches, cables and fluids. Learn more below. What is a clutch? The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation. Your engine is what causes your wheels to spin, but what happens when your car needs to stop? The engine shouldn't stop spinning but the wheels need to. It's the clutch that allows this to happen. The clutch allows the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels to be interrupted while a gear is being changed or while the car is stationary and the engine continues to run. What is clutch fluid? Some vehicles have hydraulic clutches - when you press the clutch pedal, the clutch fluid moves the pressure from the pedal through to the clutch and disengages the power transmission. Leaking clutch fluid can cause all kinds of problem in your vehicle so it is very important to monitor it regularly. At Crows Nest Motors in Crows Nest we check your clutch fluid, hydraulic system or clutch cables for you in the course of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection - which you can request as part of every car service.
 What signs to look for if your clutch is not performing You should have your clutch looked at if: You notice a burnt ‘toast' or ‘burning rubber' smell in your car, or smoke from under vehicle Your vehicle is slipping out of gear for no reason There is jerky or sticky gear operation Your clutch is not disengaging fully, or your clutch is sticking or shuddering If your clutch is showing any of the problems above - it could mean any number of faults. Clutch problems are difficult to diagnose by symptoms alone because many issues cause the same symptoms, depending on the vehicle and type of engine. The best way to deal with clutch shuddering, slipping or noise is contact us at Crows Nest Motors today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Crows Nest workshop.

The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation.

Keep your cool, without global warming. A proactive car air conditioning approach to protecting our environment.  As Australia begins phasing down HFC use (from January 2018), many new vehicle manufacturers may be switching to new air conditioning systems using the more environmentally friendly refrigerant R-1234yf, instead of R-134a. The benefits of using R-1234yf "Twelve Thirty Four", as R-1234yf is sometimes known, is an HFO type refrigerant delivering high performance, resulting in a more efficient air-conditioning system, fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO's) have a double carbon bond meaning they trap less heat in the atmosphere than Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and break down faster. Importantly, R-1234yf systems are specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant leakage and loss, including into the interior of the vehicle. The leakage of refrigerants contributes considerably to greenhouse gases. Why the switch? Older type refrigerants accumulate in the upper atmosphere as greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to Global Warming for a considerable time. In the mid-'90s, the old R-12 (or Freon), which takes a long time to break down into a non-greenhouse gas, was replaced with R134a, which breaks down much quicker. R-1234yf takes that improvement to the next level, breaking down in less than half the time of R-134a (and a fraction of the time R-12 can take). R-134a will remain in use for some time and a licensed mechanic can still service R-134a air con systems, but new vehicles will likely use the new systems with R-1234yf. Some already are. Irrespective of what type of refrigerant your car air conditioner uses, a car service workshop undertaking air conditioner service must have the right knowledge and equipment to handle these gases responsibly. You should always take your car to a mechanic with the skills and specialist equipment to undertake air conditioning service safely and correctly.
