How much is a pink slip in NSW?
Here it is $52, a fixed price: the most Transport for NSW allows a station to charge for a light vehicle. The fee is for the inspection; any repair is quoted separately before it is done.
What is an eSafety check?
It is the official name for a pink slip: a safety inspection at a licensed station, lodged electronically with Transport for NSW. It covers brakes, tyres, steering, suspension, lights, windscreen, wipers, seatbelts and body condition.
Is a pink slip the same as a rego inspection?
Yes. A rego inspection, an eSafety check and a car safety check all usually mean the pink slip: the safety check most light vehicles more than 5 years old need to renew registration. If the registration expired more than 3 months ago, you need a blue slip instead.
Do I need to book a pink slip?
No. Walk in any day we are open, Sunday 9:00am to 5:00pm included, and wait while we do it. Booking just means you are not waiting behind anyone.
If my car fails here, do I have to get the repair done with you?
No. You keep the report, and for the work we do you get an itemised written quote on the spot. Decline it and you pay only the inspection fee, and you can have the repair done anywhere.
How long is a pink slip valid?
6 months. The NSW Government says you must use the report to renew the registration within 6 months of the inspection.
How early can I get a pink slip before my rego is due?
Within 6 months of when you will renew. A pink slip is valid for 6 months and the registration must be renewed within that time, and you can renew up to 3 months before the due date.
What do I need to bring for a pink slip?
Bring the car. Your renewal notice helps if it is handy.
How long does a pink slip take?
You wait while we do it. No booking is needed: walk in, or book so you are not waiting behind anyone.
Can I get a pink slip online?
No. The car has to be inspected: the NSW Government says only an Authorised Inspection Scheme (AIS) station can do a safety check. The station sends the report to Transport for NSW electronically, and then you can renew online.
Do you do mobile pink slips?
No. We inspect at the workshop, 7 Daking Street, on a hoist. The NSW Government notes that a mobile pink slip provider may be able to come to you: the pink slip fee is the same, but a call-out fee may apply.
What is the difference between a pink slip and a green slip?
A pink slip is the safety check. A green slip is CTP insurance, which every vehicle except trailers and caravans must have. If your renewal notice asks for a safety check you need both: you renew after you get CTP insurance and a safety inspection.
Do I need a pink slip, or a blue slip?
- More than 5 years old
- Most light vehicles more than 5 years old need a safety check each year to renew. The 5 years count from the compliance plate; for an import, from the month and year it was built.
- Your renewal notice
- It tells you whether a safety check is needed this year.
- A blue slip instead
- Registration expired more than 3 months ago, the vehicle came from another state, territory or country, it has no number plates, or it is a write-off approved for re-registration. Blue slips
What happens if it fails?
- You keep the report
- The car needs the repair before the registration can be renewed.

- For the work we do: parts and labour, itemised, before anything is touched.
- Approve it, and it is done here
- We do the work and re-inspect here. Where parts are available, the slip is issued the same day.
- Or take it elsewhere
- Decline and you pay only the inspection fee. You can have the repair done anywhere.
