A Warrant of Fitness is a regular check to ensure your car is safe to drive on the road. It’s compulsory for light vehicles (cars, station wagons, vans, 4WDs, SUVs, light trucks), trailers and motorcycles.
To book a WoF inspection either call us on 0800 456 654, book online or call into one of our sites. Where possible we will fit you in or organise a booking for you. We will generally be able to book your car in on the same or the next day. All AA Auto Centres nationwide offer Warrant of Fitness inspections.
The WoF inspection will take between 25-35 minutes. You can wait and have a free coffee or tea in our comfortable waiting area or you can drop your car off.
As a WoF agent, AA Auto Centres follow the vehicle inspection requirements manual (VIRM) in which requirements are defined and monitored by NZ Transport Association. The Warrant of Fitness inspection includes tyre condition, brake operation, structural condition, lights, doors and windows, windscreen washers and wipers, safety belts and airbags, speedometer, steering and suspension and exhaust and fuel system.
If your vehicle fails a WoF inspection, you're not allowed to drive it on the road unless it's being operated solely for the purpose of obtaining a new WoF – regardless of whether your old WoF has expired or not. We can fix all the items that require attention.
Your vehicle can be re-inspected by the same WoF agent at no extra charge within 28 days of the initial WoF inspection. If you go over the 28 days from the initial inspection, you will need to have a new WoF inspection and pay the fee again.
We carry out a full range of mechanical and electrical repairs. Common repairs we undertake include braking, steering & suspension, cambelt replacement, clutch replacement, battery testing and replacement, cooling systems, electrical sensor testing and replacement.
