Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a logbook service and a regular service?
A logbook service follows the manufacturer’s specific maintenance schedule, using genuine parts and procedures to protect the vehicle warranty. A regular service still covers key maintenance tasks but may not meet those manufacturer requirements exactly. For newer cars, logbook servicing is essential to preserve resale value and warranty coverage. Once a vehicle is out of warranty, regular servicing at shorter intervals can still improve reliability and performance.
How early can I complete my pink slip before registration renewal?
In NSW, an e-Safety check or pink slip can be completed up to six months before your registration renewal is due. Getting it done early avoids last-minute stress and gives time to address any repairs if the vehicle doesn’t pass inspection. The results are transmitted instantly to the NSW, so once your pink slip and greenslip are done, renewal can be processed online. Early inspections are especially useful for business or fleet vehicles that need predictable scheduling.
Does a pink slip inspection cover everything in a pre-purchase report?
No. A pink slip only confirms that a vehicle meets minimum safety and registration standards at the time of inspection. A pre-purchase report goes far deeper, checking mechanical systems, electrical components and structural condition. It’s designed to identify hidden faults or wear that could lead to future repair costs. Buyers should always request a full inspection before purchasing any used vehicle, even if it already has a current pink slip.

Drive With confidence
Registration Inspections
Our expert examiners will be able to assist you with your vehicle when it's next due for a Registration Inspection or Pink Slip to ensure it's roadworthy and meets road safety standards. As a NSW Authorised Inspection station, all roadworthy inspections are completed online with instant transmission of reports directly to Services NSW.
Please note that Pink Slips can be completed up to six months prior to the renewal date on your registration papers. It's a good idea to have your inspection done well before the due date so you don't forget to pay the registration fee.
In order to renew your registration in NSW, you will also require a valid Green Slip (Compulsory Third Party Insurance), which can also be provided by us through QBE Insurance. Once you have your Pink Slip and Green Slip, you are ready to pay your registration fee at Services NSW or online.
Please note that if you have zero to pay on your registration, renewal should be automatic once you have completed your Pink Slip and Green Slip online.
You can pay for your registration or check the registration status of your vehicle at any time by doing an online search of your vehicle’s registration number with Services NSW. 
Please note that vehicles under five years old do not require a Registration Inspection. Your registration renewal notice will state whether or not an inspection is required. Trailers will still require an annual inspection.

EFI Servicing & Diagnostics
EFI systems regulate air and fuel delivery, and even minor issues can cause poor performance, weak acceleration or excessive fuel use. We test injectors for leaks, spray patterns and electrical faults, using specialised ultrasonic cleaning that pulses injectors up to 9,900 times per minute to remove carbon, residue and microscopic deposits. This ensures precise fuel atomisation, smooth idling and improved economy.
With over 30 injector configurations in use today, proper testing prevents damage caused by inferior equipment. Our diagnostics also cover air mass metering, throttle position, oxygen sensors and ECU performance to detect and correct inefficiencies before they escalate. Regular EFI maintenance keeps engines performing at their best, saving fuel, extending lifespan and restoring that effortless power every driver notices.
correcting hidden issues
Electronic Tune-Ups
Modern engines depend on electronic systems that control ignition, fuel and timing, so small faults can cause big performance losses. Our electronic tune-ups identify those issues using advanced diagnostic scan tools that read live data from sensors and modules. We detect problems such as vacuum leaks, weak fuel pumps, dirty throttle bodies and faulty ECUs before they become expensive repairs.
Stalling, hard starts or rough idling often point to electronic imbalance — and we’ll isolate the exact cause quickly. For vehicles that tow, carry heavy loads or do regular stop-and-go driving, scheduled tuning prevents wear and keeps performance sharp. By recalibrating the system, cleaning sensors and optimising timing, we restore efficiency and reliability. A proper tune-up ensures your engine runs smoothly, delivers full power and stays fuel-efficient under every condition.
