Our experienced team is dedicated to making the WOF process as smooth and efficient as possible, providing you with peace of mind that your vehicle is roadworthy and safe.

What is Included in the WOF Inspection?

At Geartech Automotive, our WOF inspections are thorough and detailed, covering all critical aspects of your vehicle’s safety. Our certified mechanics check:

  • Brakes: We inspect the braking system for functionality, ensuring that your car can stop safely and effectively.
  • Lights: All lights, including headlights, brake lights, indicators, and hazard lights, are checked for proper restoration.
  • Tires: We assess the tire tread depth and overall condition, ensuring they meet the legal requirements for safety.
  • Steering and Suspension: Our team examines the steering and suspension systems to ensure your vehicle handles properly and offers a smooth ride.
  • Wipers and Mirrors: We check that your windshield wipers are functioning correctly and that all mirrors provide a clear, unobstructed view.
  • Seatbelts: All seatbelts are inspected for wear and proper operation.
  • Exhaust System: We inspect the exhaust system for leaks or damage that could affect your vehicle’s performance or the environment.

These are just a few of the many checks we perform during a WOF inspection. Our goal is to ensure every aspect of your vehicle is safe and compliant with New Zealand’s road safety regulations.

Fast and Efficient WOF Inspections

We understand that your time is valuable, which is why we strive to make the WOF inspection process as quick and efficient as possible. Typically, a WOF inspection at Geartech Automotive takes about an hour. However, pre-booking is required to secure your spot and minimise any waiting time. For your convenience, we offer courtesy vehicles, allowing you to carry on with your day while we inspect your vehicle.
