Our Commitment to Vehicle Safety
Vehicle Inspections Tasmania is a licensed passenger vehicle inspection facility, committed to vehicle safety. By being solely a vehicle inspection company, it therefore eliminates the necessity to specify unnecessary work on vehicles. We have two of the most technically advanced portable brake and suspension testing units in Australia. Therefore brake testing and bus roadworthy tests are able to be conducted at members depots throughout Tasmania, providing appropriate facilities are available.
