Your Gateway to Legally Modifying Vehicle Seating
No Guesswork, Just Road-Ready Results
Seating modifications require more than just a good fit—they demand full compliance. Whether you're adding extra rows, relocating seats, or converting for commercial or recreational use, our team of TechSafe-certified installers and VASS engineers ensures every modification meets Australian Design Rules (ADR) and structural safety standards.
As TechSafe certified installers, we bring accredited, hands-on expertise to the physical fitment of anchorage points, seatbelts, and restraint systems. As VASS engineers, we back that work with the engineering assessment and compliance sign-off needed for certification. Together, this dual capability means your seating changes are assessed, fitted, and certified under one roof—correctly the first time.
We assess anchorage points, seatbelt integration, and occupant protection to ensure your seating changes are safe, legal, and ready for road use. With TechSafe accreditation covering installation and VASS engineering covering certification, we help you avoid costly rework and get your vehicle compliant without needing to coordinate between separate installers and engineers.

FAQs
-
A VASS certificate is a document issued by a Vehicle Assessment Signatory Scheme (VASS) engineer in Australia. This certificate confirms that a vehicle modification or custom build complies with the relevant design and safety standards. It is typically required when a vehicle has been significantly modified or built from scratch, such as for hot rods, custom cars, or imported vehicles, to ensure it meets Australian safety and design regulations.
The VASS certificate is important for getting a vehicle registered, as it verifies that all changes made to the vehicle are safe and legal.
