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.

Used car road test inspection

$60

Oakleigh VIC 3166, Australia

6th Feb 2026

I'm a purchaser wanting to buy a 2014 Toyota Hiace Commuter. It has been inspected by Redbookinspect. However, the road test missed due to liability limits of Redbook and the inspector not driving it. The price reflects ONLY the items in the photos to be checked. Trying to save money so I won't need a full inspection. I've already paid a lot of money on inspections. I hope we can work something out. Cheers.

Bit of a delay and a misunderstanding at the beginning of the task and felt like I was expected to pay extra for it which felt a little unfair but in the end it was resolved pretty quickly and he stayed committed to getting the task done correctly and was friendly with additional guidance after the job. No complaints otherwise as it was cheaper and I got what I paid for.

Super happy with the job done. Muni is so responsive both before and after the job was done. Punctual and professional, thorough and sent all the photos and information, and gave me important advice to help with my decision. Thanks so much :)
