Tyres, repairs and roadworthies. All in one workshop.

AGRADE AUTO fits tyres, services cars and issues Queensland safety certificates from Lawrence Drive, Nerang. If a car fails its safety certificate, the repairs happen here — not at a second workshop across town.

Why this workshop

Most places do one of these. This one does all three.

Selling a car usually means a tyre shop, a mechanic and somewhere that does safety certificates — three bookings, three trips, three people telling you something different. Here it is one job.

01

Tyres

New and second-hand, fitted and balanced. Tread depth is the most common safety certificate failure, and it is dealt with in the same visit.

02

Servicing & repairs

Maintenance and mechanical work, diagnosed and quoted before anything starts. The failed items on an inspection report get fixed here.

03

Safety certificates

Queensland roadworthy inspections. Fail, and you are not sent somewhere else — the repairs and the re-check happen in this workshop.

Safety Certificates

Fail your roadworthy? We fix it here.

In Queensland the document is a safety certificate. If a car does not pass, you have 14 days to get the listed faults repaired and bring it back — and a re-inspection inside that window only covers the items on the report, not the whole car again.

Miss the 14 days and it is a completely new inspection at full price. That is the expensive mistake, and it is why having the repairs done in the same workshop matters more than it sounds.

How it works

No surprises on the invoice

The complaint people have about workshops is the bill they did not expect. This is the order things happen in.

  1. 01

    Ring the workshop

    Tell us the car and what it is doing. Hoist availability changes through the day, so a call beats turning up.

  2. 02

    We look at it properly

    The fault gets found rather than guessed at. Parts-swapping until a symptom disappears is how bills get out of hand.

  3. 03

    You get told first

    What was found, what it means, what it costs, and what can safely wait until next time. Then you decide.

  4. 04

    The work gets done

    Tyres, repairs and the safety certificate in one place, so a fail does not turn into another week of appointments.

Where we are

In the trade end of Nerang

Lawrence Drive is light-industrial — hoists, roller doors and trade suppliers rather than a retail forecourt. It is about 400 metres from the Pacific Motorway, with three exits within a kilometre.

Nerang railway station is roughly two minutes away, on the T5 line with nine bus routes through the interchange — so you can leave the car and carry on to Southport, Broadbeach or Brisbane rather than waiting around.

More than 73000 people live within about ten minutes of the workshop.

Common questions

The things people ring and ask

Where is A Grade Tyre & Auto?

Unit 2/23 Lawrence Drive, Nerang QLD 4211, in the Lawrence Drive industrial area about 400 metres from the Pacific Motorway. Open Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm.

Do you do roadworthy certificates in Nerang?

Yes. In Queensland the document is called a safety certificate, and that is what is issued here. Because the same workshop does mechanical repairs and fits tyres, anything that fails the inspection can usually be repaired and re-checked here rather than at a second business.

Do you sell tyres as well as service cars?

Yes — both. New and second-hand tyres are fitted and balanced on site, and the same workshop carries out servicing, mechanical repairs and safety certificate inspections. Most workshops in Nerang do one or the other.

How long does a Queensland safety certificate last?

For a private seller it stays in effect for 2 months from the day it was issued, or 2,000 kilometres driven after issue, whichever comes first. For a licensed motor dealer it is 3 months or 1,000 kilometres. It also ends early if the registration is cancelled or the vehicle's condition changes significantly.

What areas do you cover?

Nerang and the suburbs around it — Carrara, Highland Park, Ashmore, Worongary and Gilston are all within about ten minutes, along with Molendinar, Merrimac, Gaven and Benowa.

Do I need to book, or can I just turn up?

Ring the workshop on (07) 5591 2339 before coming in. Hoist availability changes through the day, and a quick call means you are not waiting around.
