Is your vehicle due for a WOF?
Leaving your WOF until the last minute is a gamble. With NZTA infringement fines jumping from $200 to $350 on 1 November 2026, driving on an expired sticker simply isn’t worth the risk. More importantly, a current WOF helps ensure your vehicle is safe to drive.
Check the NZTA requirements below to see when your vehicle is due, and secure a WOF check with our Onehunga team today.

What’s checked during your WOF inspection
We inspect the key safety systems required under NZTA regulations to ensure your vehicle meets WOF standards. This includes checks on your tyres, brakes, steering, suspension, lights, seatbelts, visibility, and overall roadworthiness.
If we identify any issues, we'll explain what's needed, answer your questions, and provide a quote before carrying out any repairs.

| Happy with the service. Fit me in for a same day WOF. Cheaper than other businesses around the area too. Needed repairs to pass WOF check which was very reasonably priced. Highly recommend M.Kishore |
Many thanks to Erica and her team for a pleasant, straightforward WOF and Service experience. The points of concern are very well explained, and I got the car back in a fairly short period of wait. Will be coming back again. Andrew Guo |
Great service - having been to 2 other ‘European specialists’ and spending money changing parts that didn’t fix the issue - these guys took the time to diagnose the issue with certainty first then fixed it swiftly & at a reasonable price. I’d recommend them 100% Gareth Fielder |
