Pink slips for
Palm Beach.
The long Barrenjoey Road approach is sensitive to where you start on the peninsula. Choose the wharf side or beach side and check both directions before arranging a workshop visit.
Your inspection takes place at Advanced Auto Centre in St Peters, not at a branch in Palm Beach. We do not offer mobile inspections.

The ridge that divides two waters
Barrenjoey Headland rises at the north end of Palm Beach. From the headland you can see Pittwater on the west and the ocean beach to the east. The sandstone lighthouse dates from 1881 and stands above the point where that strip of sand reaches Broken Bay.
Source and local history ↗Drive from Palm Beach Wharf
The mapped example starts at Palm Beach Wharf and uses Barrenjoey Road, Pittwater Road, Wakehurst Parkway and Warringah Road. Check motorway entry and exit directions before you leave, especially if you choose a different approach.

Plan the return to Palm Beach Wharf
Use Palm Beach Wharf as a reference point for the return to Palm Beach. The public transport planner starts at St Peters Station. Enter the workshop address for directions that include the initial walk or a different first stop, then add the last leg to your destination.

What should I confirm before driving from Palm Beach?
Confirm the vehicle type, appointment and collection window. Decide whether you will wait nearby or organise a lift, since a return to the peninsula is a substantial separate trip.
When is my appointment confirmed?
The workshop will contact you about the request and agree a time with you. Wait for that confirmation before setting out.
What happens after a pass?
The examiner lodges the report electronically. You can then complete your renewal through Service NSW when the other requirements are met.
