Dedicated solely to independent vehicle inspections and transport certification, this Roslyn testing station focuses purely on assessments rather than mechanical repairs, meaning vehicles get checked without any upsell for workshop jobs. Motorists and commercial operators head here for Warrant of Fitness (WoF) checks, Certificate of Fitness (CoF), Pre-CoF inspections, pre-purchase appraisals, and full entry compliance for imported or unregistered vehicles. Staff also handle over-the-counter vehicle licensing renewals and Road User Charges (RUC). Online WoF vouchers are offered at \$80.00 + GST (as at 2026), and should a vehicle fail, owners have 28 days to complete repairs elsewhere and return for a free re-check.
Most light-vehicle inspections operate on a walk-in basis with no booking needed, though drivers of heavy vehicles should note that Saturday CoF B checks must be booked ahead by phone, with vehicles arriving 15 minutes before the appointment. Situated at 37 Armstrong Street in the light industrial quarter of Roslyn, Palmerston North, it gives drivers a dedicated, thorough alternative to standard garage workshops for straightforward compliance.
