When are eSafety Check or Pink Slip Inspections required

Generally speaking, if your vehicle is five years or older your registration renewal notice may warn you that you are due for an eSafety Check (Pink Slip Inspection). Only RMS accredited mechanics are allowed to undertake vehicle safety and registration inspections. Forro's Auto-Tech are an Authorised Safety Check Inspection Station (ASCIS) in Dubbo and can undertake eSafety checks and issue RMS Pink Slips to allow you to re-register your vehicle. If you need an eSafety Check or Pink Slip Inspection in Dubbo NSW, Forro's Auto-Tech have you covered.

A pink Slip Inspection, or e-Safety Check as they are now known, ensure that vehicles more than five years old are considered safe to drive under NSW law. It is a requirement in New South Wales (as a condition of registration renewal) that vehicles five or more years old are inspected and a report (previously the pink slip) issued. Forro's Auto-Tech Care eSafety Checks are sent to the RTA electronically. 

Light Vehicle Safety Check Inspections must be carried out on a range of light vehicles and a report (aka pink slip) issued before registration renewal is possible, usually as directed by the registration renewal certificate. 

Forro's Auto-Tech regularly undertake eSafety Check inspections on cars and light commercial vehicles under 5 tonnes (tare) in and around the Dubbo area. We also provide pink slip inspections for light trailers and caravans (250 kg - 2 tonnes Gross), motor cycles (inc sidecars) and buses weighing less than 2.5 tonne (Tare) 

(Note: Commercial vehicles with power-operated brakes and Trailers/caravans with breakaway brakes must be inspected at a HVAIS. (Trailers weighing less than 250kg do not require inspection). 

All work carried out by Forro's Auto-Tech is backed by the Repco Authorised Service Nationwide Warranty at over 500 locations Australia wide. You can rest assured that if you choose to have Forro's Auto-Tech conduct the needed repairs all work will meet RMS requirements. 

Following a successful Pink Slip / eSafetyCheck inspection, Forro's Auto-Tech will forward your Light Vehicle Safety Check Inspection Report electronically to Roads & Maritime Services. We can then assist you to purchase the mandatory Green Slip, ensuring CTP insurance requirements are met, after which you are able to register your vehicle as you normally would, (online, in person, by mail etc). 

What happens after the pink slip inspection?

Should your vehicle happen to fail a Pink Slip / eSafetyCheck Inspection, Forro's Auto-Tech will prepare a 'repairs needed report'. You can then request Forro's Auto-Tech undertake the required repairs or take it to a mechanic of your choosing to have them carried out, but they must be undertaken within 14 days, before the report expires.

What happens if my car fails an e-safety check?

Once repairs have been carried out, either by Forro's Auto-Tech or the workshop you chose for repairs, you'll need to have another eSafety check.

 If you return the vehicle to Forro's Auto-Tech within 14 days for the 2nd eSafety Check, no additional fees will apply to have it rechecked. You are of course free to take the vehicle to any eSafety Check stationbut this will result in you being charged a new eSafety Check feeby the mechanic conducting the vehicle inspection.
