About Us

 

Another Orange is Auckland's One-Stop Shop for all Certificate of Fitness (CoF), Repairs and Servicing Needs.

It is your responsibility to make sure your vehicle is up to CoF's safety standards - not just before your inspection - but at all times. If your vehicle is not up to par, you run the risk of having an accident and receiving a hefty fine. Our seasoned professionals, some of which are qualified CoF inspectors, consistently keep up to date with the latest CoF standards. 

What is the Difference Between CoF and WoF?

Essentially a CoF ensures that heavier vehicles; such as, motor homes, larger trailers, trucks, and commercial passenger vehicles like taxis, buses, shuttles, Uber and rental cars - are safe enough to drive on New Zealand's roads. If your vehicle is only used for personal purposes, then you need to come in for a CoF inspection every six months. For those who use their vehicles for commercial business; such as, passenger vehicles or those that are operating more than five heavy goods - the Operator Rating System (ORS) will determine how often they will require a CoF. Expiry dates for CoFS range from 3 to 12 months.

See below for a list of the parts of the vehicle that will be examined during a CoF inspection:

Brakes
Tyres
Lights
Fuel system
Structural condition (checking for rust, etc)
Doors
Airbags
Safety belts
Glazing Windscreen wipers and washers
Speedometer Steering & Suspension
Exhaust system

It is important to note that a WoF inspection doesn’t cover everything! See below for a list of some of the things it does not examine:

 The condition of the brake pad unless it is clearly below the legal limits
 Differential Condition
 Lubricant Levels
 Gearbox
 Clutch
 Engine

Another Orange offers various service plans that will cover all of the items listed above. We've also gone one step further. If you are one of the many Auckland car owners and you absolutely hate shelling out money for a WoF, then you have come to the right auto shop!
