What do car inspection services include?
Car inspection services range from general check-ups of a vehicle’s status and performance to more specific assessments of its history and licensing. This is usually done regularly, either for maintenance inspections or assessing the car’s condition before putting it in the market or transferring its ownership. Here are some services that you can expect when you book a car inspection through Airtasker:
Pre-Purchase Car Inspection
Prior to buying or selling a used vehicle, one of the most important tasks to accomplish is a pre-purchase car inspection. Aside from giving you a basic rundown of what needs repairing, it can also supply you with the information necessary to attach a reasonable price tag for the vehicle being checked. Car warranty inspections are often a part of this process and can also be valuable input for a buyer to take note of before they make their final decision.
Â
Pink Slip Inspection
Vehicles more than five years old are the usual target for #pink slip inspections or E-Safety checks. When registering your car, your renewal papers might indicate the need for this. Upon doing so, an inspector can verify that your vehicle is road-worthy—allowing you to register your car for the year accordingly.
Blue Slip Inspection
Blue slip inspections check the roadworthiness of unregistered vehicles that fall under the following scenarios:
Â
- Autos that haven’t been inspected for the past three months
- Vehicles with no number plates
- Automobiles that have undergone significant adjustments in registration records
- Cars that have been imported from overseas
Â
This process ensures that your car will be ready to get back on the road once the registration has pulled through.
Â
Car Interior and Exterior Inspection
Any dent, scratch, or damage can make or break a car's overall appearance, which is why it's imperative to get a thorough interior and exterior inspection. Hire an expert to check every nook and cranny of a vehicle—from its exterior paint, headlights, and tyres to the dashboard and upholstery. Should any issue arise during the procedure, you can also book a professional #car detailing specialist to give an automobile that showroom quality it deserves.
Engine Inspection
An engine inspection or a car diagnostics test can spot all sorts of car problems even before they occur, sparing you and your vehicle from further damage and more costly repairs in the future. An expert mechanic will check all the essential car parts like the brakes, alternator, cooling systems, gaskets, battery, and suspension, among others. Electrical wirings will also be inspected to ensure that every connection is in its proper order.

Hi Jason. Still teeing things up with seller so I can't confirm a date yet. Just wondering what you do compared to MTA, Stateroads etc, please? I've owned 3 of these cars - EL, AUII, and a BFII, so know their quirks, but can't get down from Sydney to inspect. Also, your price please? Thanks. Shaun.

Isabella Plains ACT, Australia
2nd Feb 2025
2020 Peugeot 508 in Isabella Plains ACT It's a second hand car, that I'm planning to purchase as a private sale. I'd like a mechanic to inspect the car thoroughly, including a computer analysis and a test drive, and provide me with their opinion on the cars condition. I know the brake pads and rotors probably need replacing from the last service report, but otherwise it is I'm told in immaculate condition. I'm based in Sydney - so wont be there on the day but will be available by phone. Then I will use the inspection information to decide where I should come down to look at the car myself and proceed with the purchase. The seller is available all of Thursday, but is better they can also do Wednesday after 5pm or Saturday after 12pm.

I'm looking to purchase a secondhand 2016 Subaru Outback. I'm going to show up at their place around 5 pm to inspect the vehicle. Would be great to have someone who knows automotive to come either at the same time or a bit before or after to look over the vehicle for any issues that are likely to go unnoticed by a person like me who knows little about cars.

2016 Pink Mitsubishi Mirage needs pre-purchase inspection. Has a cracked windscreen (which will need to be replaced), ABS light on (apparently due to sensor) and otherwise should be fine. I'd just like to know how close it is to being roadworthy, how much it will cost to repair the ABS sensor, and whether the advertised price is reasonable.
Jason was fantastic and professional, he provided the service quickly and gave an extensive and comprehensive report of the condition of the vehicle he was inspecting. He is honest, knowledgeable and experienced - highly recommend his work!

Hi guys, I need a help for a pre-purchase inspection for: - a used car (Hyundai Accent), - tomorrow (October 8th) afternoon (2 pm) - at Gordon area, ACT. I need someone that could save my sad life from spending thousand dollars on repairing a cheap used car in the near future. Well, it's just a cheap used car but I don't want to get a serious issue with that car. So, I would love to bring a mechanic with an eagle eye to spot any potential problems. Please send me your offer, thanks in advance! -- Note: This task is a re-post from my previous inquiry 2 days ago (previously, a seller suddenly sold the car right before the promised time for an inspection, fortunately I had not booked any mechanic yet).
This gentleman: - called me to describe his services clearly - arrived early - did an amazing job in inspecting the car with an eagle eye (and ears) - explained a lot of his thought about the car - provided me with a solid recommendation Beyond my expectation. Solid 5 stars, would recommend Jason for you guys!
