Nicholls Auto Centre

At Nicholls Auto Centre, we provide fast and reliable Warrant of Fitness (WOF) inspections for drivers across Richmond and the wider Nelson region. Conveniently located at 176 Queen Street, our trusted workshop carries out thorough WOF checks for cars, SUVs and light commercial vehicles, ensuring your vehicle meets all New Zealand road safety standards. Whether your WOF is due for renewal or you want peace of mind before a long drive, our qualified team is here to help.

A current WOF is essential to keeping you and your passengers safe on the road, and our technicians take that responsibility seriously. During your inspection, we check all key safety components including tyres, brakes, suspension, wipers, windscreen condition, steering, seatbelts, lights and overall structural integrity. By following strict NZTA requirements and using our years of experience, we ensure your vehicle is assessed accurately and professionally every time.

If your vehicle requires repairs to pass its WOF, we make the process straightforward. Our Richmond workshop is fully equipped to complete most WOF-related repairs on the spot, helping you avoid unnecessary delays. Whether it’s a blown bulb, worn brake pads, replacement wipers or new tyres, we’ll explain the findings clearly, provide an honest quote and carry out the work efficiently. For more complex issues, we’ll discuss your options and keep you informed throughout.

We understand that life can get busy, so we aim to make your WOF visit as smooth as possible. With flexible scheduling, friendly service and quick turnarounds, we focus on providing convenience as well as quality. If you’re unsure when your next WOF is due or you’d like a pre-trip check for added confidence on the road, our team is always happy to advise.

We value transparency, communication and workmanship you can trust.
