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.

 

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:

 

  • 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

 

This process ensures that your car will be ready to get back on the road once the registration has pulled through.

 

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.

Caravan water leakage Inspection

$500

Mansfield QLD 4122, Australia

11th Dec 2025

I am writing to request an independent inspection and expert report regarding a water leak issue with my Jayco caravan. After consulting with my lawyer, I have learned that an objective report from a caravan specialist is essential to resolve this matter. The caravan was purchased new in 2021 and has been used infrequently, with only one major service and minimal usage. In March 2024, I discovered significant water leakage and reported it to Jayco Cairns. They conducted repairs and recommended insurance, but subsequent inspection reports from insurance-appointed experts have attributed the cause to customer responsibility, which I strongly dispute. Given that previous reports have been used to block compensation, I am seeking an impartial and thorough inspection by a qualified caravan expert. I would appreciate it if you could inspect the caravan and provide a detailed, objective report on the cause of the water leak and the extent of any related damage. Please let me know your availability for the inspection and any documentation or access requirements. I am eager to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your assistance. Best regards, Joe

Hi, I am looking to get a basic inspection, similar to a Roadworthy done on a Honda CR-V currently located at the Lloyds Auctions premises 18 Paradise Rd Acacia Ridge 4110. You would not be able to Test Drive the car. I just want someone to give the vehicle a once over. I am happy to pay the cost of a RWC to get it looked at and an opinion (just opinion, not legally binding) as to overall mechanical condition. I am currently in the UK so cannot inspect it myself. Thanks, Pete.

Acacia Ridge QLD 4110, Australia

Soooo, I need an 2024 Suzuki Jimny (3880 kms) engine check only down. The car is a write off due to a tree falling on it. However the engine, has not been written off. I need someone to check as much as they can given the car doesn’t move, but does start up. I’m confident the engine is perfectly fine, but just want the added peace of mind. Appreciate by checking it doesn’t guarantee, but I’d much prefer a mechanic to check too. Car is located at a Wreckers in Wollawong 4110, Learoyd Road. I will meet you there as well.

Jamie did a pre purchase inspection on an engine for me. He was early, including being accomodating and flexible with time. Child engine over as much as he could, even tried to help me negotiate with the seller!!! Legend!!!
