About pink slip inspections
All vehicles over 5 years old require a safety inspection report.
If a vehicle passes the inspection, it receives a pink slip certification, certifying that it is roadworthy and fit to operate. It is then presented to the relevant authorities as proof of the vehicle’s roadworthiness for registration renewal.
Examples of light vehicles include passenger cars, motorcycles, and trailers or caravans with an aggregate trailer mass of 4.5 tonnes or less. Certain transport vehicles for goods may also fall under this category, depending on the make and model.
Who can perform a pink slip inspection?
An expert pink slip evaluation must be carried out by a licenced car mechanic or an authorised inspection station.
At Lube Mobile, we offer logbook services for cars under seven years old that are still following their logbook schedules. For older cars, we also offer yearly services, which include coolant and brake fluid changes and more. All of our auto mechanics are fully qualified technicians who have been professionally active for at least four years. They are also employees, not contract-based, and operate out of company vehicles, ensuring you’re getting the quality service Lube Mobile is known for.

How often do I need a pink slip inspection?
You will need an up-to-date pink slip certification if you plan to sell or transfer ownership of a vehicle over five years old.
A pink slip inspection is typically not required for the first five years after the manufacture date of your vehicle. However, once your vehicle surpasses the five-year mark, you’ll need a pink slip certification every year when renewing your registration. This process ensures that ageing vehicles on the road continue to meet safety standards.
It’s best to schedule your pink slip inspection ahead of your registration renewal. This way, you won’t face any hitches during the renewal process, and you don’t have to look up terms like ‘mechanic near me pink slip inspections’ at the last minute.
