Get the pathway right

Talk to an engineer before committing to the modification.

Certification requirements depend on the vehicle, the modification and the applicable Queensland code. An early review can identify the right pathway, the evidence required and any design or inspection issues before unnecessary work is completed.

  • Advice on whether the proposed modification may be certifiable
  • Identification of the relevant inspection and evidence requirements
  • Engineering review of completed or proposed modification work
  • Certification and mod plating when the work is found compliant

Common questions

Before requesting an assessment.

A few details and photos are usually enough to start a useful conversation about the certification path.

Do I need a mod plate?

That depends on the vehicle and the modification. Send the details before work begins where possible, so John can identify whether certification may be required and what pathway applies.

Can completed modifications be certified?

Sometimes, but certification cannot be assumed. The work, materials, evidence and final vehicle must satisfy the applicable requirements. Extra inspection or rectification may be needed.

What should I include with my enquiry?

Provide the make, model, year, VIN or compliance details, clear photos of the vehicle and modification area, and a description of what has changed or is proposed.

Does the starting price include parts or fabrication?

The displayed amounts are starting prices for the relevant engineering service. Any required parts, fabrication, travel or additional engineering work would be confirmed separately.

Do you provide mod plate inspections outside Townsville?

Enquiries are welcome from Ayr, Ingham and surrounding North Queensland areas. Regional or on-site availability depends on the location and modification, so include your town or suburb when requesting an assessment.
