This alternate fuel system is being phased out with the advent of diminishing gas supply and the growing popularity of Hybrid vehicles. MD Auto Care can still service, repair or remove Liquid and Vapour LPG systems in Golden Square.

Our highly experienced LPG technicians can run a full diagnostic check, including a detailed safety inspection of your LPG system to ensure it is performing at peak efficiency. We also provide complete gas tank recertification, tuning and repair services.

LPG tanks in vehicles must be inspected once they have been in use for 10 years.

This includes having the tank itself tested for structural integrity and testing of emergency pressure relief valves for proper function and safety. Having passed the inspection and components having been replaced where applicable, the LPG tank will be date stamped to confirm it is safe to use for another 10 years. 

The LPG Tank will usually need to be removed from the vehicle to enable a complete inspection. LPG Tanks that are designed to spend the majority of their life inside the vehicle will often be in very good condition but tend to be harder to access.

4WD and commercial vehicles will often have their LPG tanks mounted on the underside or outside of the vehicle. This means they are usually easier to access, but the nature of their positioning means they are also more exposed to the elements and corrosion or other damage is much more likely.

The actual cost of testing an LPG tank will vary from vehicle to vehicle. On some vehicles it may be a relatively simple task to gain access to the LPG tank, but in some cases, it often proves more difficult and could involve removing other components to gain access to the tank itself. Contact us and tell us a bit about your vehicle and we can give you more of an idea on cost.

In order to minimise the number of poorly maintained vehicles on the road, a Certificate of Roadworthiness is required in Victoria when a vehicle is sold or if a used vehicle is to be re-registered.

MD Auto Care car service in Bendigo provides Certificates of Roadworthiness and inspects diesel, petrol and LPG autogas cars. You can receive a certificate after your car has passed a roadworthy inspection ensuring that key components have not worn or deteriorated. In some cases a Certificate of Roadworthiness is also required to clear a Vehicle Defect Notice or a Notice of Unroadworthiness. 

MD Auto Care have a professional automotive workshop which is a licensed vehicle tester in Golden Square which services Bendigo, Kangaroo Flat, Golden Gully, Spring Gully, Maiden Gully, Big Hill, Mandurang, North Bendigo, East Bendigo, Kennington, Flora Hill, Epsom, Strathfieldsaye and surrounding areas.

A Certificate of Roadworthiness can only be issued by a licensed vehicle tester, operating from a nominated garage or service station. MD Auto Care is a licensed vehicle testing station that can inspect your vehicle and issue a Certificate of Roadworthiness.

To make sure the vehicle is safe for normal road use major safety items of your vehicle are checked during a typical roadworthy inspection:

steering, suspension and braking systems 

windscreen, and windows including front windscreen wipers and washers 

other safety related items on the body, chassis or engine.

Please note: The roadworthiness test is NOT a check of general condition or the mechanical reliability of the vehicle and it does NOT mean that your vehicle is in top condition without any wear or deterioration and non-safety related accessories (air conditioner, rear window demister, electric windows, rear-window wipers etc.) are working. Furthermore, the test does not guarantee the items checked will continue to function after the inspection. If you require a comprehensive check on the overall technical condition and reliability of your vehicle, arrange a a fully comprehensive 150 point vehicle inspection with MD Auto Care.

What if my car fails the roadworthy inspection?

 If any of the checked items fail to meet the standard, you will receive a rejection report and have seven days to repair the issues and return the vehicle for a second inspection of the failed items. If more than seven days elapse a complete roadworthy inspection must again be performed on the vehicle.

How much does a Roadworthy Inspection cost? 

There is no fixed cost for obtaining a Certificate of Roadworthiness. It may depend on the age, type and condition of the vehicle being examined. 

How long does a roadworthy certificate last? 

For the purposes of a transaction a Certificate of Roadworthiness is current for 30 days from the date of issue. You can find more details on Roadworthiness Section on VicRoads website.
