Service station not listed

Service station operators across NSW have done a great job in providing their details for FuelCheck, but some are still finalising the registration process. If you find that a station near you isn’t listed, you can lodge a General enquiry on the Fair Trading website.

Price discrepancy

If you see a difference in price between FuelCheck and the pump, you should first alert the service station operator. If this fails to resolve the issue, or if you are not satisfied with the operator’s response, you can lodge a complaint with NSW Fair Trading.

Report discrepancy via FuelCheck

To lodge a price discrepancy complaint directly through FuelCheck, you’ll need to do so while still at the service station.

1. Tap on the relevant station in map view.
2. Tap ‘Report Price Mismatch’.
3. The service station detail will automatically add to the form.
4. Attach evidence of the price discrepancy (photo of the service station signage or bowser display screen, or a receipt showing price paid).
5. Tap ‘Submit’.

Report discrepancy via the NSW Fair Trading website

If you would prefer to report the price difference at a later time, you can lodge a general complaint on the fair trading website, together with your pricing discrepancy evidence.

Fuel type not listed

FuelCheck will display all types of fuel that are currently available for purchase. If a particular service station is not displaying a type of fuel this could be because they don’t supply that fuel or it is temporarily out of stock.
