How Much Does a Pink Slip Cost?
23 COSGROVE RD, STRATHFIELD SOUTH NSW 2136
A pink slip costs around $42 in NSW. This covers the mechanic's time to carry out a vehicle inspection, a brake check, and send the e-safety check report electronically to the RMS (Roads and Maritime Services).
You can usually drop into your local mechanic, and it'll be done on the spot. You'll need to bring your car registration papers with you. Generally, your car will need to be driven a short distance with a calibrator attached to the brake to confirm your braking system is working effectively.
The mechanic will then do a general look-over to make sure your lights, blinkers, and windscreen wipers are working, along with checking your tyres, engine belts and hoses. Keep in mind this does not constitute a car service – that's a separate, more extensive inspection that covers a lot more ground.
Your registration details, brake calibration, and e-safety check report are then sent through to the RMS. You'll then need to pay your CTP green slip, which is also forwarded electronically. Once both documents are received, you can pay your car registration.

When Are Pink Slips Required?
All cars in NSW over 5 years old must get a pink slip before they can be registered – it's a government requirement to make sure all vehicles on the road are in safe running order. A new pink slip is required every year.
Pink slips and e-safety checks usually coincide with your registration due date, which makes it the perfect time to also book in a logbook service or a full car service. Combining both in one visit means your car is not only rego-ready but running at its best – and you're not making two separate trips to the workshop. If we spot anything during your pink slip inspection that needs attention – worn brakes, suspension play, or dodgy auto electrical – we can sort it all on-site the same day.
