Jason Robertson has been working in the Automotive industry since 1992. A qualified Motor Mechanic and Automotive Electrician, Jason owned and operated his own small business based in Dubbo until 2015.
Over the years Jason has had extensive experience working on Passenger Cars, Heavy Vehicles, Motorcycles and Mining Equipment. Jason can certify light vehicles, medium goods vehicles, heavy vehicles, and motorcycles.
Light vehicle is a vehicle with a gross vehicle mass up to and including 4.5 tonne, heavy vehicle is greater than 4.5 tonne gross vehicle mass.
Vehicles must comply with the vehicle standards requirements made for it as of its date of manufacture.
A vehicle that is modified must continue to comply with those standards or any later version of those standards that may apply as a result of a particular modification.
Vehicles need to comply with the Australian Design Rules and Schedule 2 of the Road Transport (Vehicle Registration) Regulation 2017 for light vehicles or Schedule 2 of the Heavy Vehicle (Vehicle Standards) National Regulation (NSW) for heavy vehicles.
When testing vehicles with significant or extensive modifications, tests are often required to be conducted on closed airport runways, recorded on video and information data logged for future reference.
Jason can arrange airport closure /hire and arrange for these necessary tests to be carried out to the ADRs and vehicle testing standards in a safe and controlled environment.
Based in Port Stephens NSW Jason Services all surrounding areas by appointment from the Central and Mid North Coast, the Greater Sydney region and the Central Western Tablelands.

Pricing
Due to the complexity of modified vehicles, the nature and scope of vehicle modifications, testing required and location, pricing can differ.
I work on a case by case basis in which pricing is discussed with customers on an individual basis. For example, a 4wd with a high lift and tyre combination where multiple inspections and airport hire is required, expect to pay on average between $3500 and $5000
