FAQs
We’ve put together a few FAQs to help make your WOF easier. If you’re still unsure about anything, feel free to give us a call.
A vehicle Warrant of Fitness (Warrant, or WoF) is an official NZ document that certifies and assures a light vehicle such as a car or truck (under 3500kg), motorcycle or trailer is roadworthy and safe.
Newly registered vehicles on their third birthday and built after January 1, 2000 require yearly Warrants. Older vehicles require Warrants every six months.
The inspection typically takes a few hours to complete and will likely require keeping your car for the day to complete the service!
Prices vary for WoFs, but beware of very cheap ones, due to unscrupulous companies luring the unwary in, to upsell what could be unnecessary repairs.
Our current prices are $75 for cars, utes and SUVs. Trailers are $48.
If your WOF has expired, you can only drive the vehicle if you’re taking it to get repaired or for a WOF inspection.
If your vehicle fails its WOF, you have 28 days to get the necessary repairs and get it re-tested.
