Free Car Wash & Vacuum
Book your car in for a Warrant of Fitness and receive a free (optional) car wash and vacuum.
Terms and Conditions: For the best chance of receiving a free car wash, simply make sure you drop your vehicle off before 8:30 am and leave it with us until at least 2:30 pm. If you cannot do this, we will still try our best to get your car cleaned. In events such as heavy rain, we may not be able to wash your car on the day. However, you are welcome to come in another day to redeem your free car wash and vacuum.
Got questions about getting your Warrant of Fitness sorted here in Hamilton? Maybe you’ve been dodging potholes on Peachgrove Road, or slamming over those judder bars in Rototuna, and you’re wondering what’s going on under your bonnet. Happens to the best of us! Here at Grimmer Motors, we see it all – from beat-up utes on their last legs to tidy little hybrids that just need a quick checkup. Whether you’re from Te Awamutu, Cambridge, or even Morrinsville, we’re your local car service crew for anything WOF or repairs.
What’s Covered in a WOF? Why Bother?
Let’s be straight up – the WOF isn’t just a hassle dreamed up by some suit in Wellington. With all the start-stop on Victoria Street, sudden weather changes, and Hamilton’s good old foggy mornings or boiling summers, cars cop a hiding here. During your WOF, we check pretty much everything that keeps you and your family safe – brakes, tyres, lights, seatbelts, suspension, windscreen wipers, and all those bits and pieces underneath you don’t want failing when you’re stuck in Five Cross Roads traffic.
If you’ve got an older Corolla or Vitz registered before the year 2000, you’ll need a WOF every six months. Anything newer, it’s once a year. No shortcuts – if you’re running a European wagon, a Mazda Axela, or a Honda Jazz, rules are the same for everyone.
WOF Repairs & Real Workshop Talk
Most folks around here drive everything from Subarus and Mitsis to the occasional SsangYong or Great Wall ute. Doesn’t matter if it’s a Fiat 500 or a Toyota Hilux – we know the gripes specific to each model. Say you’re running a Nissan Leaf from Cambridge and the brakes are going soft, or maybe your Suzuki Swift’s headlights keep fogging up after a wild Waikato storm – we’ve seen it, and fixed it, more times than you’d believe. One of our techs will get you sorted out with repairs that actually last through Hamilton’s dodgy weather and all those speed bumps on Wairere Drive.
