Know what's included.
eSafety inspection for NSW registration renewal. Thirty to forty-five minutes, lodged electronically, so you can renew online before you get home.
Fixed price. If the car fails, you keep the report and get an itemised quote on the spot for the work we do.
Pink slip, explained clearly.
You need a pink slip to renew registration on a vehicle more than five years old. It is an eSafety inspection, and the result goes straight to Transport for NSW electronically. You do not carry a piece of paper anywhere.
The inspection covers braking, tyres, steering, suspension, lights, windscreen, wipers, seatbelts, exhaust, body condition and the things that hold them on. It is a safety check at a point in time, not a service and not a mechanical warranty.
We are a licensed inspection station with three hoists, a roller brake tester, a headlight beam tester and a window tint meter. That matters because a car should be checked from underneath on a hoist, not from the ground with a torch.
- Braking, measured on the roller brake tester wheel by wheel
- Tyres, tread depth and condition on all four plus the spare
- Steering and suspension, on the hoist with the weight off
- Lights, with headlight aim and intensity set on the beam tester
- Windscreen, wipers and window tint against the NSW limit
- Seatbelts, exhaust, body condition and structural rust
