10 Affordable and Hassle-Free WOF Testing Stations and Mechanics Tauranga

Minimize the risk of a failed WOF, save money and time, and get repairs from trusted Tauranga mechanics with our comprehensive guide

Tauranga WOF
Updated 8 August 2020
​Generally, the biggest surprise with getting a WOF isn’t the upfront fee (a WOF is generally cheap; $50 to $75 is standard). Instead, it’s the WOF ‘fails’ that can end up costing a lot of money. To ensure getting a WOF in Tauranga​​ is a hassle-free process, our guide covers:
  • Suggest DIY Pre-WOF Test
  • WOF repairs - know the costs upfront to avoid surprises
  • Top 10 Tauranga mechanics for WOF fails

Know this first: ​Find the right WOF test centre for your vehicle's condition
A WOF promotion for $30 or $40 sounds good, but be careful. You face the risk of being strong-armed into spending $500+ with the mechanics if a fault is found. To make things simpler and put you in control, we suggest the following approach:

Is your car in excellent condition?
  • If your car is less than five years old and/or is kept in top condition, choosing a WOF testing centre based on price is likely to be the best option. 

Is your car in moderate condition and likely to need only minor repairs?
  • If you believe that your car will probably pass, a WOF testing station that doesn’t offer repairs is likely to be the best choice. A popular example is VTNZ. As they don’t carry out repairs, there's no vested interest in anything failing.

Is your car likely to need major repairs?
  • If you’re confident your vehicle will need repairs to pass its WOF, then the best approach is to take it to an independent testing agent (like VTNZ) and research trusted local garages. Once you know the faults from a failed WOF, you can arrange a quote.

Final Steps: Re-testing your vehicle after repairs
  • If your vehicle fails a WOF and you get the necessary repairs, it will need to be re-tested.
  • If you fix all the items that require attention within 28 days of the initial inspection, the WOF testing station will re-inspect the vehicle at no additional cost.
  • If you exceed the 28 days from the initial inspection, a new fee and inspection are required.

Our Pick for an Independent WOF Assessment in Tauranga

  • While thousands of NZTA-approved garages and service centres offer a WOF, we believe Vehicle Testing New Zealand (VTNZ) is a truly independent operation. There are numerous locations all over Tauranga​​. ​

Tauranga WOF

DIY Pre-WOF Test

Per 2019 government statistics, in 2019 a total of 1,886,104 vehicles failed a WOF on the first attempt. This means that 40% of vehicles are not at the desired level of roadworthiness.

We suggest saving yourself the hassle of having to fix common mistakes by undertaking a DIY pre-WOF check at home. Some simple pre-WOF fixes can lower the risk of a failure, although some fails can only be fixed by professional mechanics. Pre-empting the issues and fixing them beforehand saves you money, time and frustration. 

Know this: Around 1 in 6 vehicles fail their WOF because of a dead light bulb. The table below outlines the most common reasons for failing a WOF and ways to prepare in advance.
Reason for Failure
Checks to do before your WOF
Lights
Make sure all of your lights are working. Do a 360-degree walk-around of your car while every light is on, and check brakes, dip, hazard and indicators, as well as the number plate light. 

Solution: If a light is out, a new bulb costs a few dollars from stores such as Repco and Supercheap Auto.
Suspension
A comprehensive suspension check is impossible, but if you push down on each corner of your car and then release, the car should re-balance. If it doesn't, then shock absorber reconditioning may be required. Your WOF will reveal what's needed.
Brakes
If your brakes feel tense then it's likely you have an issue. You may also see a brake warning light which indicates your brake pads need replacing. If an issue comes up on your WOF, a mechanic is the best person to fix it.
Tyres
Tyre pressure
Check your car's tyre pressure and fill them up to their recommended level at a petrol station. You can find the desired PSI in your vehicle handbook, inside the fuel filler flap, or on the driver's door post.

Tyre tread 
The minimum legal tread depth is 1.5mm within all principal grooves that contain these moulded tread depth indicators. If it is below, you'll need to buy a new tyre for every one that fails the WOF.
Windscreen
Per the NZTA, damage (apart from scratching and surface pitting that does not affect the driver’s vision, such as small stone marks) will fail a WOF. If you have windscreen damage that affects your vision of the road, you'll need to get this repaired. Some insurers cover glass repair without excess, so see if this applies to you.

A windscreen with damage that prevents the wiper blades from working properly will also fail a WOF. 
​Exhaust
A leaking exhaust will fail a WOF. To test it, turn on your engine (in a well-ventilated location) to check for unusual noises or abnormal smoke. If you notice either or both, it indicates a leak which will fail a WOF.
Steering
There's no test you can do at home, but if you feel as if the steering could be more responsive or you see a warning light, a repair may be needed.
Fluids
Check the brake fluid, windscreen washer and oil reserves, as well as for leaks.
Everything else
Give your car a comprehensive once-over, making sure that your seatbelts are functioning, the horn works, the doors open and close from inside and outside, and make sure the wing-mirrors are clean and secure. Most importantly, check there are no warning lights on.

WOF repairs - know the costs upfront to avoid surprises

For repairs, get a quote first and ask the right questions:
  • Requesting a quote detailing the cost of a job will minimise the chances of any nasty billing surprises. Such a quote will formally set out the cost of a job so that you know what to expect. 

Whatever the WOF issue with your car, when organising a quote, we suggest asking:
  1. What is the estimate of the total cost to fix the problem(s)?
  2. ​Is GST included? 15% adds up, so make sure the final price you hear and agree to is GST-inclusive. For example, $300 becomes $345 with GST included.
  3. What is the guarantee period? You want a solution, not a short-term fix, so ask to make sure that the proposed solution offered is final and will meet the needs of the WOF assessment.
