Pink Slips NSW eSafety Checks
A Pink Slip, also known as an eSafety Check, is a safety inspection required for most vehicles more than five years old when renewing registration in NSW.
The inspection checks that your vehicle meets the required safety standards, including key components such as brakes, tyres, lights, steering, suspension and seatbelts.
At Wollongong Auto Excellence, we can carry out your eSafety Check and submit the result electronically once the inspection is complete.
If your vehicle passes, you can continue with your registration renewal. If repairs are required, we'll explain what needs attention and can discuss the repairs with you.
