Licenced Roadworthy Inspector on the premises

Self-Driving Cars

Passenger cars continue to develop and change, where will it be in our lifetime?

Self-driving cars are the ultimate vision of upcoming car technologies. They are equipped with sensors and software to navigate without human input. They are still in development, but many believe they will become commonplace on our roads.

There are still no fully autonomous vehicle for sale today, but some automakers are advancing the fi eld. Over the past few years, a few cars have gone on sale with driver assistance features that take much of the burden off the drive.

They are not that far into the future and most of us will see them in everyday life.

Need a Roadworthy Certificate?

Maleny Service Centre have a Licenced Roadworthy Inspector on the premises and we know only too well what it takes to make your vehicle safe and roadworthy.

All vehicles (including trucks, motorbikes and trailers) must have a Safety or Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) if being sold, registered for the first time or being re-registered in Queensland. Registered Vehicles cannot be solid without a RWC.

We are dedicated and passionate about servicing, repairing and maintaining one of your most valuable assets, your Motor Vehicle.

Vandalism closes Mount Beerwah to the public

Vandals have used a power tool to cut graffiti into a section of the rock face near the base of the summit route on Mt Beerwah.

Glass House Mountain park rangers found the damage on May 20th, when they discovered a rock at the base of Mt Beerwah had been defaced with the words “Jesus Saves, Just Ask”. Mount Beerwah is registered as a Significant Aboriginal Area for the Jinibaras peoples.

The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, with the support of the Jinibara People, is temporarily closing Mount Beerwah to allow for repairs and reparations and cultural healing of the site.

Visitors are advised to observe all signage, barriers and to not enter closed areas.

Queensland Police Service and QPWS are investigating this incident and are asking for anyone with information to call the department on (07) 5494 3983, or make an anonymous call on 1300 130 372.
