Roadworthy Certificates and Rego Checks by Andrew Walsh Mechanical Repairs, Wagga Wagga: A Comprehensive Guide

Andrew Walsh Mechanical Repairs in Wagga Wagga takes pride in our vehicle safety and registration checks that help in promoting road safety across New South Wales (NSW). Often referred to as rego checks or the issuing of roadworthy certificates, these inspections form a critical part of vehicle registration renewal.

Under NSW laws, light vehicles more than five years old are required to have a yearly safety inspection report, often called a pink slip, as part of their registration renewal process. This report essentially provides a clean bill of health for a vehicle to be fit for use on the roads, thus contributing to the broader agenda of public safety. The vehicle’s exemption period starts from the month and year printed on its compliance plate. For imported vehicles, the exemption is calculated from the date of manufacture.

As an authorised Inspection Scheme (AIS) station, we can provide the vital service of safety inspections and reports. If a vehicle passes its safety check, the inspection details are electronically dispatched to the authorities. Reports are valid for six months. A notice sent by authorities to vehicle owners outlines when the inspection is required.

Should a vehicle fail its safety check, the vehicle requires repair before it can renew its registration. We can help by identifying the needed repairs. Vehicle owners have 14 days to carry out these repairs and return for reassessment. Should the repairs take longer, an additional inspection fee will apply.

For vehicles not yet registered or those whose registration expired over three months ago, Andrew Walsh Mechanical Repairs also provides Authorised Unregistered Vehicle Inspection Scheme (AUVIS) inspections, previously known as a blue slip.

With the wealth of experience from our Andrew Walsh Mechanical Repairs team, vehicle owners can navigate the registration renewal process with ease. Leveraging transparent cost structures outlined by the NSW government, we ensure that you and your vehicle remain safe on the roads. The firm is truly an ally in safety and roadworthiness.
