HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO GET A WOF?

A Warrant of Fitness or WOF is required every six months for vehicles 6 years or older, and every 12 months for newer vehicles.

CAN I DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITHOUT A WOF?

It's illegal to drive your car without a valid WOF, or a valid WOF sticker displayed. You can only drive the vehicle (if it is safe to do so) when driving to get it repaired, or to get a WOF inspection done.

Can I GET MY WOF AT THE SAME TIME AS ANOTHER SERVICE?

Yes, in fact we recommend getting your WOF done at the same time as you service your car, as a WOF inspection doesn't cover all aspects of your vehicle, such as the engine, clutch, gearbox, lubricant levels, etc.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I FAIL MY WOF INSPECTION?

If our inspector finds any issues with your vehicle that would cause it to fail the inspection, we can do the repair work onsite quickly and efficiently. Your vehicle will be re-inspected on the spot, and your WOF issued.
