Modification Plate Certification

From school runs to sand tracks, we keep you moving.

Road-Legal Modifications

Making changes to your 4WD is exciting, but compliance is critical. In Queensland, many upgrades require modification plate certification (“mod plates”) before your vehicle is road-legal. At PMR, we provide certification with benefits that go beyond compliance.

Many drivers aren’t sure which modifications require a plate. That’s where we step in.

all fall under certification requirements. We’ll assess your vehicle, explain the process in plain language, and take the guesswork out of compliance. By working with PMR, you’ll save time and avoid the risk of fines, defects, or invalidated insurance.

Our process is straightforward but thorough. First, we inspect the vehicle and modifications against Queensland Transport guidelines. Then, we carry out any necessary testing or adjustments before issuing the modification plate and official documentation. This means you’ll leave our workshop with everything you need to drive legally and confidently. We also provide advice on maintaining compliance long-term, ensuring your modifications remain safe for years to come.

Certification is about more than ticking a box. At PMR, we combine mechanical expertise with deep industry knowledge. We’ve certified vehicles for off-road enthusiasts, tradespeople, and fleet managers alike, and we know what it takes to make a modification both functional and safe. With us, you can enjoy your 4WD knowing every upgrade has been checked, approved, and road-legal.

Why Choose PMR?

Our workshop is trusted across Queensland for reliable certification and mechanical expertise. We don’t just issue plates, we provide peace of mind, making sure your 4WD is as safe and functional as it is compliant.

Rob is hands down the most honest, reliable, and skilled mechanic I’ve ever dealt with. He goes above and beyond every single time—whether it’s a routine service or something unexpected, he takes the time to explain what’s going on, gives fair pricing, and never cuts corners. I trust him completely with my car, and I know it’s always in the best hands. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and takes pride in their work, Rob is your guy. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rob fixed my car on short notice for me when I broke down on the highway unexpectedly. Their communication was great and I paid less than expected in the end. Very happy with the service.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. HONEST / RELIABLE / FAST / FRIENDLY The service at Palmview Mechanical is second to none. I keep going back because the ‘family business’ vibe extends to the customer. I feel like I’m treated like family! The care and attention that Rob and his team provide is why I keep going back. My car is happy it runs well and it always looks good after it’s been in their workshop.

I won’t take my car anywhere else. I’m so glad to have met Rob. Honest service centre with HEART

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was pretty clear from the get go these guys run an honest service.
I went for a roadworthy and was treated very fairly with what was needed, what he could help with or where I can fix certain things cheaper.
The service was as quick as you'd hoped it to be, in and out while I waited in the aircon.
