A1 Safety Certificates & Repairs

09/04/2026

Due to strong demand at our Gordonvale workshop, A1 Safety Certificates and Repairs no longer offers mobile inspections.

All safety certificates and mechanical work are now carried out at our workshop, allowing us to provide a more efficient and consistent service.

Thank you for your continued support.

Well, the footings are complete. Once the concrete has hardened the hoist can be installed. And now we wait. 😁

Work of different kind going on in the workshop this weekend. Preparing the footings for the new hoist. Once that sets, the hoist can be installed. I'm looking forward to using a hoist instead of laying on the ground. 😆 Stay tuned for more updates. #

Well, it’s that time of year 🎄

A big thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout the year — it’s genuinely appreciated, and we look forward to helping you again in the future.

As mentioned previously, we’ll be shifting more towards workshop-based work moving forward. Safety Certificate inspections will remain our core focus, with most inspections, servicing and repairs now carried out from our Gordonvale workshop.

We’ll be taking a short break to get things set up and enjoy a well-earned rest.
📅 Closed from 30 December — reopening 12 January

Wishing everyone a safe and relaxing Christmas break.
Thanks again for the continued support — cheers.

Well the shop is coming along. Painted the interior this weekend. Still some touch ups to be done. I am definitely a better mechanic than I am a painter 😆. Signs up on the building. Temporary for now until I can get some more permanent signs sorted. Next is the floor and a hoist. Stay tuned ! #

Well, it's been a minute since I've posted anything. But we have exciting news for the new year. We will be transitioning into a workshop so watch this space. We will still be based in the Gordonvale community. Stay tuned !

Happy Monday ! Good to see some sun. No better way to start the day than a caffeine hit. Ready to see what the week brings.
