A pink slip, officially called an e-Safety check or Safety Inspection Report, is required by Transport for NSW for all light vehicles over 5 years old when renewing registration. Covers cars, motorcycles and trailers.
If your vehicle doesn't pass, we'll reinspect within 14 days at no charge. The call out fee for your vehicle type still applies for the return visit. We'll always explain exactly what failed and why, in plain English.
*Free reinspection within 14 days. Call out fee applies.
Buying a used car? Don't risk it. Our comprehensive pre-purchase inspection uncovers hidden issues, gives you negotiating power, and helps you avoid buying a lemon. Available anywhere in Sydney metro.
At $299 against the cost of a $15,000+ used car purchase, a pre-purchase inspection is the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy. Our inspectors have found hidden flood damage, undisclosed accidents, and serious mechanical faults that saved buyers thousands.
