Pink Slip Today: Mobile Safety Inspections in New South Wales

Pink Slip Today is a mobile mechanic service company based in Sydney that specialises in safety inspections for vehicle registration in New South Wales (known as pink slips or eSafety checks). The company sends mobile mechanics authorised by Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW) to the customer's home, workplace, or roadside location, and operates throughout the Sydney metropolitan area, as well as Newcastle and the Central Coast.

According to its presentation, the company has over 34 years of experience in the industry and completes more than 1,000 inspections per month in New South Wales. Its team consists of fully TfNSW-licensed mechanics and safety inspectors, and the company itself identifies as a licensed motor vehicle repairer in New South Wales.

Mobile Inspection and Mechanic Services

Pink Slip Today's service catalogue covers both regulatory inspections and general mechanical work, all performed at the customer's location:

• Pink slip inspections (eSafety): mobile safety inspections for eligible New South Wales vehicles, with electronic submission of the certificate to TfNSW once the inspection is passed.
• Pre-purchase inspections: inspection of used vehicles, including electric vehicles, to detect problems before purchase.
• Maintenance and servicing: mobile mechanic service and logbook servicing to preserve the vehicle's warranty.
• Mechanical repairs: from minor fixes to urgent problems, without the need to visit a workshop.
• Breakdown assistance: on-site diagnosis and repair for broken-down or non-starting vehicles.
• Motorcycle and trailer inspections: inspection service for these types of vehicles.

Inspection Process and Geographic Coverage

The service is structured in three steps: the customer books by phone or online, providing their location, vehicle details, and preferred time; an authorised mobile mechanic arrives at the agreed location with the necessary equipment; and, if the vehicle passes the inspection, the pink slip is submitted electronically to TfNSW so the customer can complete the registration renewal immediately.

The company operates throughout the Sydney area and extends to Newcastle and the Central Coast. The service areas mentioned include Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, Western Sydney, South West Sydney, North Shore, Northern Beaches, St George, and Sutherland Shire, as well as Newcastle and Central Coast.

Pricing, Timelines, and Service Conditions

The price of the mobile pink slip inspection starts at 99 Australian dollars, with no call-out fee for quoted work. The company states that it will beat any written repair quote and offers fixed upfront quotes. Most inspections are completed in under 45 minutes, and same-day appointments are available in most metropolitan areas, subject to mechanic availability, as well as weekend availability.

If the vehicle does not pass the inspection, a report of necessary repairs is issued. If these are completed within 14 days, the vehicle can be re-inspected at no additional inspection charge.

Company History and Background

The Pink Slip Today team comes from Auto King, where it served thousands of motorists. The company was created after the 2018 regulatory change in New South Wales that introduced eSafety inspections (pink slips), upon identifying the absence of a business dedicated exclusively to this type of mobile inspection. Since then, according to its own presentation, it has performed more than 50,000 inspections and maintains an average rating of 4.9 out of 5.
