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.

Adam is professional, honest and extremely thorough. He checked absolutely everything. He took the time to explain what he was looking at and made sure we understood every issue they found. Honestly, they saved us from buying a car that looked great but had some major problems we never would have noticed ourselves. It could have ended up being a very expensive mistake. Money very well spent.

Car pre purchase inspection

Williamstown North VIC 3016, Australia

21st Jun 2026

A pre-purchase car inspection should check the vehicle’s overall condition, safety, mechanical health, and legal status before you buy it. The exterior should be inspected for dents, scratches, rust, paint mismatch, panel gaps, signs of previous accident repairs, condition of the windscreen, lights, mirrors, tyres, and wheels. The interior should be checked for seat wear, dashboard warning lights, air conditioning, heater, infotainment system, seatbelts, windows, locks, carpets, water leaks, bad smells, and general cleanliness. Mechanically, the engine should be checked for oil leaks, coolant leaks, unusual noises, smoke from the exhaust, worn belts, dirty fluids, overheating issues, and poor starting. The transmission and clutch should be tested for smooth gear changes, slipping, jerking, delays, or abnormal noises. The brakes, suspension, steering, and wheel alignment should be checked for vibrations, pulling to one side, knocking sounds, worn brake pads, damaged shocks, and uneven tyre wear. Under the car, it is important to inspect for oil leaks, rust, exhaust damage, chassis damage, and signs of poor repairs. A road test should be done to check acceleration, braking, steering feel, gear shifts, engine performance, ride comfort, warning lights, and any strange sounds. The car’s service history, registration, roadworthy certificate, VIN, engine number, odometer reading, finance owing, accident history, and written-off or stolen status should also be verified. Ideally, the inspection should be done by a qualified mechanic because they can identify hidden problems that may not be obvious during a normal viewing.

A thorough pre-inspection of a car to buy. This is prior to them getting a RWC, but want to ensure other factors are taken into account. Help to decide if to proceed.

Would highly recommended Adam and Camilla for pre inspection. Adam even attended during a family emergency, which I really appreciated. Pointed out faults with the car I wouldn’t have found and were extremely thorough in their approach. Ended up not buying the car, so definitely worth paying to get this done first. 10/10
