Vehicle Inspections in Maddington
If you are getting your vehicle licensed or registered, have modified your vehicle, need to remove a compliance notice (yellow sticker), or drive a commercial vehicle that requires an annual examination, you are legally required to book a vehicle inspection with an Approved Inspection Station (AIS). Maddington Central Automotive Care is a licensed AIS, providing car inspections to drivers across Maddington and the surrounding suburbs.
Why a Vehicle Inspection Matters
A vehicle inspection ensures your car meets the minimum safety requirements to be driven legally on WA roads. Whether you are dealing with a DoT vehicle inspection requirement, licensing your vehicle for the first time, or clearing a compliance notice after modifications, an AIS inspection confirms your vehicle is roadworthy and compliant.
As an authorised vehicle inspection centre, we carry out these inspections to the standard required by the Department of Transport, so you can be confident the paperwork and process are handled correctly the first time.
When You Need a Vehicle Inspection
You will generally need a vehicle inspection if you are:
- Licensing or registering a vehicle
- Removing a compliance notice (yellow sticker)
- Operating a commercial vehicle that requires an annual examination
- Modifying your vehicle in a way that affects its compliance
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Buying a second-hand vehicle comes with risk, especially if you cannot verify its condition before handing over your money. That is why we recommend a pre-purchase inspection before committing to a used car.
A pre-purchase inspection is a thorough, whole-of-vehicle examination that gives you a clear picture of what you are actually buying. At Maddington Central Automotive Care, we go a step further and provide an estimated cost of any repairs needed, so you can factor that into your final decision or negotiate with confidence.

Our team understands what the Department of Transport requires, and we will walk you through the results in plain English, no jargon, no guesswork.
