Roadworthy Inspections - Structural Damage Assessments

Ensuring the structural integrity of your vehicle is critical for both safety and performance, especially if you are planning to sell your car. One of the most comprehensive ways to guarantee this is through a detailed Roadworthy Inspection, focusing on potential structural damage. Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Pakenham), located in Pakenham, offers expert Roadworthy Inspections as an Authorised Inspection Station, providing same-day assessments to help car owners get their vehicles sale-ready.

The Inspection Process

At Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Pakenham), the Roadworthy Inspection begins by lifting the vehicle on a hoist. This elevated position allows for a more thorough visual examination of the underbody. Once the vehicle is securely elevated, the wheels are removed to provide unobstructed access to critical structural components. This systematic approach ensures that no area is overlooked.

Visual Inspection for Structural Damage

The visual inspection focuses on identifying any signs of structural damage that could compromise the vehicle's safety or performance. Our trained technicians meticulously check for several key indicators, including:

  1. Frame Corrosion: Rust can weaken the structural integrity of a vehicle’s frame, leading to potential failure points.
  2. Weld Cracks: Cracks in welded joints can indicate underlying stress or damage that may require immediate attention.

Potential Issues and Their Causes

During the inspection, our experts at Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Pakenham) often encounter two common structural issues:

  1. Bent Frame: This issue usually arises from a significant impact, such as a collision, which can distort the shape of the vehicle’s frame.
  2. Subframe Damage: Subframe damage can occur due to prolonged exposure to harsh environmental conditions or continuous driving on poorly maintained roads.

Why Structural Damage Occurs

Structural damage can occur due to various reasons, with the most common being:

  1. Accidents: Even minor collisions can lead to substantial damage that might not be immediately visible but can severely impact the vehicle's structural integrity over time.
  2. Environmental Factors: Continuous exposure to moisture, salt, and other corrosive substances can accelerate the deterioration of a vehicle's underbody and frame.
