What is a pink slip?
A pink slip (also known as an eSafety check) is a roadworthy inspection for light vehicles that ensures they are safe to operate. It’s required for registration renewal in NSW for vehicles over five years old, and for re-registration of an unregistered vehicle in some cases.
The inspection includes key safety checks on brakes, tyres, steering, suspension, lights, seatbelts, and other essential systems. We also ensure your vehicle meets identity standards and complies with legal requirements before it can be driven on the road.
What happens during a pink slip inspection?
When you bring your car to our inspection station, our skilled mechanics perform detailed inspections. We check:
- Brakes, suspension, and steering
- Tyres and wheels for tread depth and condition
- Lights, indicators, and interior lights
- Fluid levels, leaks, and underbody components
- Seatbelts and other occupant protection systems.
If your vehicle passes, the results are sent electronically to Transport for NSW, and you can complete your registration online or in person.
