Repairs That Go The Distance

Safety Inspections Without The Fuss

A pink slip (or eSafety check) is required when renewing the registration of any light vehicle that’s over five years old in NSW. It confirms that your car is safe to be on the road — and that all key systems like brakes, tyres and lights are in proper working order. At Lismore Car Repairs, we inspect your vehicle thoroughly and efficiently, providing an electronic report sent straight to Transport for NSW once your vehicle passes.


We know how valuable your time is, so we keep the process simple: book in, bring your car, and we’ll handle the rest. If anything doesn’t pass, we’ll provide a clear explanation and a quote for repairs — and we can usually fix it in-house without the need to go elsewhere. Our team has the tools, experience and attitude to get your inspection done with minimal downtime and maximum peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can my car fail a rego check because of a cracked windscreen?

    Yes, if the windscreen crack affects the driver’s line of sight or compromises structural safety, your vehicle may not pass the rego inspection. Minor chips on the passenger side may be acceptable, but anything obstructing visibility — especially within the sweep of the wipers — is likely to require repair or replacement before a pink slip can be issued.

  • Is steering and suspension checked during a pink slip?

    Absolutely. Steering and suspension systems are essential for safe handling and braking, so they’re part of every rego check. Worn shocks, loose tie rods, leaking struts, or excess steering play may result in a failed inspection. These components are visually and mechanically tested to ensure safe, responsive driving.

  • Do tyres need to be brand new to pass a rego check?

    No, but they must meet legal tread depth requirements — at least 1.5mm across the tread surface. Tyres also must be free from major damage like deep cuts, bulges, or uneven wear that can affect performance and safety. A car with worn or mismatched tyres may be deemed unroadworthy and fail the rego check.
