Vehicle Safety Checks

Why are safety checks important?

Warrant of Fitness has moved from 6 months to a year for many vehicles in the Waikato / Hamilton region. This means that vehicles will go a year without inspections or maintenance. A lot can happen to a vehicle within a year, therefore it is best to regularly check your vehicle for issues such as:

  • Low fluids.
  • Damage to exhaust and fuel system
  • Rust damage
  • Brake issues
  • Low tread depth in tyres.

A safety check gives you peace of mind knowing your vehicle meets or exceeds New Zealand’s road safety standards.

When to get a safety check?

We recommend that you bring your vehicle in for an inspection if you notice any of the following issues:

  • Vibrating or shaking coming from your vehicle
  • Loud noises when the brakes are applied
  • Slippery or unstable driving. Difficulty steering and controlling the vehicle
  • The vehicle feeling uneven or unstable
  • The engine or transmission running inconsistently or poorly

Booked the ol' Fuga in for a service this week. I dropped it off early to take advantage of the free clean and asked if I could have it ready at 3 pm. The service went well and they... pointed out things that would need attention in the future. I like the introduction of the vehicle service and repair log book. Which has all my previous services and fix ups recorded in it. And the Fuga was freshly cleaned and ready at 3pm, like they said. Thanks Team
