Melbourne's Trusted VASS Signatory for Japanese Imported Vehicles

If you've imported a Japanese vehicle into Australia, a VASS (Vehicle Assessment Signatory Scheme) certificate is a mandatory step before your car can be registered in Victoria. At Mechanicar in Braeside, we are experienced VASS signatories helping JDM owners across Melbourne navigate the compliance process smoothly.

What is VASS?

VASS is required by VicRoads for all personally imported vehicles. A VASS certificate is issued by a licensed VASS signatory after a comprehensive inspection confirming the vehicle meets all applicable Australian Design Rules (ADRs). Without it, your imported vehicle cannot be registered for road use in Victoria.
