Warrant of Fitness
A WOF is the check that keeps your car legal, and it's the job most people ring us about first. If something fails, we'll call and explain what it is and what it will cost before anything is started — it's the single thing our own reviews mention most, across every location.
Call your nearest workshop and tell us the make, model and rego. Island Bay · Te Aro · Newtown.
Scheduled servicing & oil changes
Minor and major services, oil and filter changes, and the manufacturer-recommended checks for your car's age and mileage — done in plain language, not a jargon-filled checklist.
General mechanical repairs
Fuel system repairs, engine cooling system maintenance, CV joints, tune-ups and preventive maintenance. If a fault turns out to be electrical rather than mechanical, see our auto electrical and diagnostics page — it's covered under the same roof.
Brakes, clutch & steering
Steering and suspension work
Brake service and repair, clutch work, and steering and suspension diagnosis — the kind of job that's worth doing before a short problem becomes a long one.
Exhaust & cooling systems
Exhaust system repair and engine cooling system maintenance, checked as part of a warrant or booked in on their own.
Windscreen & window glass
Windscreen and window glass replacement, alongside the rest of the day's work rather than a separate appointment somewhere else.
What happens when you bring a car in
- You ring or email your nearest workshop. Make, model, rego, and what it's doing.
- We book it in and tell you how long we need the car for.
- We look at it and call you with what we've found and what it will cost.
- Nothing gets done until you say so.
