What If Repairs Are Needed?

You'll have the option to pre-approve up to $100 in repairs when dropping off your vehicle so we can complete small jobs straight away (like bulbs or wipers).

-

If larger repairs are needed:

We’ll give you a clear, itemised estimate - no pressure/no obligation - you’re welcome to use your preferred repairer or do it yourself.

If we complete the work required, it’s done to a professional standard by qualified mechanics using quality parts.

Free WOF Rechecks

If your vehicle doesn’t pass first time, don’t worry - free rechecks are available for up to 28 days after the original inspection.

After this period, a new full inspection is required (as per NZTA regulations).

Yes - as long as the repairs are done to a standard that will pass inspection. You’re not required to use us for repair work, and we won’t pressure you to.

Do I need to bring anything to my WOF inspection?

Just the vehicle, we'll take care of the rest. Please note: all vehicles must have live registration to complete a WOF inspection. If it's your first time visiting Avalon Automotive, we'll help you understand how we handle it.
