FAQ
What’s the difference between a Pink Slip and a Blue Slip?
A Pink Slip (eSafety Check) is required when you need to renew registration for a car that’s already registered in NSW. A Blue Slip (Authorised Unregistered Vehicle Inspection) is needed for vehicles that are unregistered, recently imported, or have had major identity changes.
If you’re unsure which applies to you, the team at R & G Vaccari Mechanical Repairs in Wetherill Park can point you in the right direction.
How long does a Pink Slip or Blue Slip inspection take?
A standard Pink Slip inspection usually takes around 20–30 minutes depending on the vehicle and if any defects are found.
A Blue Slip inspection is more detailed and typically takes up to an hour, depending on the vehicle’s condition.
We aim to complete inspections promptly while ensuring everything meets NSW roadworthiness requirements.
Can I drive my car to the workshop if it’s unregistered?
You can legally drive an unregistered vehicle only if you have an Unregistered Vehicle Permit (UVP) from Transport for NSW and you're travelling for the purpose of repair or inspection. Without a permit, driving is not allowed and may result in fines.
If you need help understanding what’s required, R & G Vaccari Mechanical Repairs in Wetherill Park can guide you through the process.
What happens if my car fails a Pink Slip or Blue Slip?
If your vehicle doesn’t meet the required safety standards, you’ll receive a report outlining what needs fixing. You then have 14 days to complete repairs and return for a free Pink Slip re-inspection.
With Blue Slips, a re-inspection fee may apply. Our technicians can carry out the necessary repairs on-site to help you get back on the road sooner.
