In NSW, a pink slip (eSafety check) for a standard light vehicle typically costs about $42–$45 AUD, set by the Authorised Inspection Scheme fee schedule.
Most stations charge the government-set amount, so you won’t need to haggle like you’re buying a used lawnmower.
If it fails, you’ll pay for the repairs; many inspectors offer a free or low-cost recheck within a short window, but that bit varies by workshop.
Motorcycles are cheaper, and “blue slips” (for unregistered vehicles) are pricier, so make sure you’re asking for the right paperwork.
Also budget for rego and insurance—the pink slip simply confirms your car won’t shed parts at 100 km/h.
