"I called on a Tuesday morning expecting the usual 'we can fit you in next week'. He was at my place by 1pm, spent 25 minutes on the car, walked me through two little things he tightened on the spot, and had it lodged electronically with Service NSW before he'd left the kerb. I checked my rego online while I was making a coffee — already renewed. That is exactly what a pink slip is supposed to feel like — quick, transparent, and done properly. I've already sent three colleagues."

We pulled these straight from bookings — verified name, verified suburb, verified job. Sorted newest first.
"Booked at 9am, inspector was in my driveway by 11. Passed, lodged, rego renewed before lunch. Genuinely couldn't fault them."

"Third year running. Same price, same standard, same guy who actually explains what he's looking at. Rare thing in Sydney."

Marrickville · MX-5
"Got a pre-purchase done on a 2018 Golf R I was about to hand over cash for. Found a resprayed quarter and a slipping DSG. Saved me thousands."

"I've got a caravan and a ute and I was expecting the usual 'oh that'll be extra'. Nope. $179 each, both done in the same visit."
Dan W.
Cronulla · Jayco + Hilux
"Failed on a tyre. Told me exactly what depth I needed, no upsell to a fitter he 'knew'. Came back Friday, free re-check, done."
Aisha R.
Chatswood · Golf GTI
"Fleet of six delivery vans. NSW Pink Slip come to the yard, knock them all over in a morning. Invoicing is clean, no drama."
Leo C.
Alexandria · Fleet manager
"Bike inspection at my apartment building. Didn't even have to ride out to a workshop. This is how it should work."
Jasmine T.
Surry Hills · Ninja 400
"Straight up, honest, on time. My old man used to say a good inspector is worth twice what he charges. These guys charge $179."

"Booked same-day for a car I was buying. Inspector walked me through everything on the phone after. Bought with confidence."
Sofia M.
Newtown · Corolla
"Pre-purchase report saved me from a lemon at a used dealer in Parramatta. Written report handed to me on the spot, plain English, went back and pulled out of the deal."
Nathan B.
Parramatta · BMW 320i (test)
"Booked online, paid online, they turned up on the dot. Zero phone tag, zero 'we'll call you back'. Refreshing."
Grace O.
Coogee · Mazda 3
"Had them check a 15-year-old Landcruiser I was buying private sale. Photographed the underbody, pointed out the leak and told me it was fine to buy anyway. Honest advice, not scare tactics."
Tom V.
Manly · 79 Series (test)
"Second pink slip with them and the price hasn't budged. Half the industry has 'adjusted for inflation'. These guys just kept the number."
Michelle K.
Ryde · CX-5
"Booked a mobile pink slip on my lunch break in the CBD. Inspector met me at the loading dock. Twenty-five minutes and I was back at my desk."
Vikram J.
Sydney CBD · Model 3
"Told me my wiper blade was borderline, swapped it on the spot for nothing so I didn't fail. Little thing, but that's the difference."
Hannah D.
Randwick · i30
"Got the pre-purchase for a Nissan Patrol I found on Marketplace. Report was five pages, photos, diagnostic scan attached. Worth every dollar of the $280."

How we handle the 6% that isn't 5-star.
- 01
We don't hide it
Every review — good, mid or bad — stays public. Google and Facebook are the source of truth.
- 02
The owner calls back the same day
If a customer flags anything, the owner (not a call centre) is on the phone within business hours.
- 03
We fix before we ask
If it's on us — a missed slot, a rushed report — we fix it first. Review requests only go out after the customer's happy.
- 04
We change the process, not the person
Complaints become checklist items for every inspection after. That's how the average stays 4.9.
Questions about the reviews
Are these reviews real?+
Yes. Every review on this page is from a paying customer whose booking we can trace in our system — hence the 'Verified' badge. We don't buy reviews, we don't filter negative ones off Google, and we don't ghostwrite testimonials.
Why not just show a Google widget?+
We do link to Google and Facebook — but a widget on a slow page hides the words. We'd rather you read what people actually said.
What if I had a bad experience?+
Call the owner directly on 02 8014 0824 or email nswpinkslip@outlook.com. We fix it before we ask for a review — that's why the average is what it is.
How can I leave a review after my inspection?+
We send a one-tap link by SMS the day after your inspection. Takes 20 seconds and helps other drivers find us.
Just been inspected? Tell the next driver.
Your words help the next driver decide. Honest beats glowing — we'd rather hear what we could do better than a five-star with no detail.
Book the inspection everyone's writing about.
