Frequently Asked Questions about WOFs in Christchurch

Question:

What does a WOF inspection actually cover?

Answer:

A WOF is a general safety check covering key components like tyres, brakes, lights, windscreen and wipers, doors, safety belts, steering, suspension, and the vehicle's structure for rust. It ensures your car is safe to be on the road.

We make it easy. We will provide you with a detailed, no-obligation estimate for the required repairs. Because we are a full-service workshop, you can approve the work and have it all done in one place, saving you time and stress.
