Safety Checks and Vehicle Inspections in South East Melbourne
Vehicle inspections and safety checks ensure safe road conditions for everyone. Though road laws differ from state to state, most safety rules are common. A lightweight vehicle must have a safety check every year after the first five years. Similarly, heavy vehicles need a safety check annually. It is important to get safety checks periodically for your vehicles to avoid fines.
In South East Melbourne, if your car fails the roadworthy check, you have seven days to repair or replace the faulty parts listed in the report. If it takes more than seven days to fix the vehicle, you may need a full inspection again. Roadworthy certificate cost varies with the age, type, and condition of a car. According to the make and model of your vehicle, the price range for the roadworthy certificate could be anywhere from $150 to $250. If your vehicle runs on LPG, an extra $50 could be levied. For a hassle-free process, you can ask for a quote or a pre-inspection from a licensed tester like A1 Gas & Mechanical Services.

I recently went to Marco for some advice and guidance in relation to my 80 series landcruiser. I want to modify a few things and add a few accessories. Marco and the team were so helpful and spent plenty of time with explaining the pros and cons of different options. Honesty and integrity in this business cannot be questioned. Marco has not always just fitted me in for an appointment last minute but has continued to be understanding and adaptable to my requests. Marco and the team are a family based business that make you feel like your part of the family not just a ordinary customer. Marco is such a professional and honest mechanic. I have been going to his workshop for the last 6 year. He always provides excellent advice & service and is very well priced. Marco's integrity is unquestionable. I would recommend Marco from A1 gas and mechanical service to any one that wants a peace of mind and professional, honest, excellent service. Marco has never let me down. Once again,Thank you Marco and the team for such great experience and your continuous efforts and support.

They know how to rip you off when you're in need.
I towed my Ford Falcon which had a minor gas problem here, Marco said this car has a serious gas system failure that needs at least 3 days to work on. I went home after 2 hours had a call from them saying you can pick up that car. it is fixed. He charged me $850 for a list of stuff that he had changed and repaired in two hours. I realized that moment I was ripped off badly. I took the car home and the next day the Gas meter had a fault, I called them and explained this to Marco, he actually didn't listen to me at all and hung up on me. Bottom line... they do not care about you.
