WHY MOD PLATES MATTER.
Significant changes can affect how a vehicle protects passengers, handles or stops. In Queensland, complex modifications must be certified by an appropriately accredited Approved Person.
A mod plate and certificate record that the modification has been inspected and meets the applicable requirements.

Behind CQ Mod Plates is a Yeppoon local with more than 30 years of experience as a mechanic.

Local experience. Plain-speaking service.
LET’S KEEP
IT SIMPLE.
From the first conversation to the paperwork, here’s what to expect.
Tell us about your vehicle.
Share the make, model, year and any completed or planned changes. We’ll discuss the requirements for your vehicle.
Arrange an inspection.
We’ll talk through the requirements, what to bring and the cost, then arrange a time to look at the vehicle.
Get the paperwork sorted.
If the modification meets the applicable requirements, the certification and mod plate can be completed.
GOOD QUESTIONS.
Every enquiry is considered individually. Share your vehicle’s make, model and year, along with any completed or planned modifications. We’ll discuss the requirements, available paperwork and next steps for your vehicle.
Vehicle details, a description of work completed or planned, and any photos or existing modification paperwork are a useful starting point. We’ll confirm what’s needed before an inspection.
Yes. Whether the work is already done or still planned, tell us about your vehicle and the modification. We’ll discuss the requirements and what’s needed for an inspection. Certification depends on the vehicle and the completed work meeting the applicable requirements.
The cost depends on the vehicle and the modification. Share the details of your job first so we can discuss the work and price before arranging an inspection.
We’re based in Yeppoon on the Capricorn Coast, Queensland. Get in touch to discuss your vehicle and confirm appointment details before travelling.
