About Govind

Govind Kumar runs Kumar Automotives and is a VicRoads Licensed Vehicle Tester, so he is authorised to issue roadworthy certificates.

Before a car is listed on OneCall, it goes to Govind for a full 100-point check: paperwork and history, body, tyres and brakes, the engine bay, underbody and suspension, the interior and electrics, and a test drive. Anything that fails is written up in plain English so you know exactly what you are buying.

More than 20 years in the automotive trade, including leading the team that repaired Mercedes-Benz vehicles as head mechanic technician.

What gets checked

Every car goes through the same 100-point list before it can be listed on OneCall. The points are weighted, so a failed brake or missing roadworthy costs far more than a scuffed bumper.

Why we use a licensed tester

A Licensed Vehicle Tester is authorised by VicRoads to issue roadworthy certificates. Having one go over each car means the problems a first-time buyer can’t see (brakes, suspension, leaks, rust) are found before you pay, not after.
