Does anybody know when a Roadworthy officially takes effect? I've looked on the Vic Roads website but can't find anything. We took our car in about 4wks ago, he initially quoted $1,100 but it went up to $1,800 so I spoke to him to see whether we could pay it off and that was fine. I know that the car was ready 1wk ago and we are picking it up this Friday but the Roadworthy expires that day . Doesn't seem right that he dated the Roadworthy when the car wasn't finished so now I'll have to pay another $110 to get another certificate.
it goes by the date on the certificate. It should be longer than a week though.
After the 1st inspection you have an amount of time to fix any problems then after the 2nd inspection, if the problems are fixed, the certificate is issued by the mehcanic.
Yep, we had the first inspection 4wks ago, then he completed all the work last week so I don't understand how it has already expired. They are for 28 days so he has dated the certificate whilst the car wasn't finished.
the certificate can be issued the day it is examined, and repairs must be done within 7 days and then rexamined by the assessor.
the certificate lasts for 30 days from when it is issued.
if the same people who assessed it were doing the repairs, i would ask if they can reduce the costs on the 2nd roadworthy cos they don't actually have to assess it again cos it hasn't been out of their hands since approving the repairs.
