Al - Al's Mechanical Repairs Ltd - Kaitaia
At first it was a bit of a forest for me. But after a bit of practice at home I got used to it, and it was pretty straight forward after that. Eventually once you realise it, its all there in front of you.
It seems to work well.
Robbie and Dylan - Valid Automotive - Whangarei
Robbie: Brillant idea. Makes our life easier. Works awesome. Saves so much time. Some techs you cant read their handwritting. Get checksheets from another workshop and you dont know what the heck its saying. Its pretty cool.
Dylan: Massive time saver. Enjoyed the fact that I could take a photo of the rego tag and it got all the details and filled it all in for me, quite handy. Creating the checksheet was real nice and fast, all I had to do has skim through and and click boxes. Can just click for a pass, or add a comment if you want to, which is quite handy.
Liam - Birkdale Motors, Auckland
"For me personally, it's been good. It's more handy than having to pull out a book and muck around with all that sort of jazz. When it comes to recheck time, everything's already in the system, so you're just banging out the recheck and away you go. It's definitely better in that aspect because we have multiple inspectors here.
We used to have our own books, and we'd have to write down the inspection sheet number with the invoice when a car failed. Then, when the customer brought the car back in for a recheck, you'd have to find and input the WOF check number and all that. It was a pain in the ass, to be honest, so it's definitely helped in that respect. It functions pretty well.
I’ve had no issues with how it works. It's been really good man."
Graham and Aldy - Graham Ball Motorsport, Auckland
"We use an iPad to do everything. Absolutely love it, find it a lot easier. You can't really submit anything to NZTA if it's not done properly, the system doesn't allow you to move forward without the required fields to be filled out, which kind of eliminates that worry for being audited later and potentially things aren’t done properly, or we have left something out.
Just the fact that we don't have to worry and stress about that has just been amazing. We find it very user-friendly, really just happy with it. We literally have not used a WOF book since the start of 2025, it's been great."
Paul Sparkes - Coast 4x4 Ltd, Auckland
"Yeah, it's working well. It's a lot better than the SAM system we were using. One thing I do like is the fact you can just take a photograph of the rego and all the information's filled out. It's a lot quicker and easier. It generally speeds things up, especially the fact I can use it on my phone. So far, I've been impressed."
Wyatt - Waikaraka Park Service Centre 2013 - Auckland
Been amazing, never seen something so simple to use. Its awesome being able to print the Checksheet and have the Reasons for Rejection readable rather than messy handwriting. It's a lot better than paperwork.
Scott - East Tamaki Automotive Limited - Auckland
Pretty happy. Saves a few minutes on a WOF. Makes life easier and 10x better than the old paper checksheets.
Handy to have it open in reception to work out the estimate as well.
Jonathan - Weissach Motors (Courtney Ross Limited), Auckland
"Once you're familiar with the system, it definitely creates efficiencies and makes the whole process much easier. The messy handwriting is gone, and the presentation to the customer is more professional and uniform. It speeds things up dramatically, and overall, I'm really liking it."
Dina - Surge AutoTech Limited, Auckland
"The system saves heaps of time, and I really love it. We don’t need to use those old books anymore, and our office admin finds it easier to read the check sheets, especially when things get busy and handwriting can get messy. It looks much neater and more professional for the customer, too.
I also love the email feature for sending check sheets directly to customers—it’s so much better than scanning and emailing the old-school way."
Jeremy - Auto Services Newmarket - Auckland
Easy to use, once you get used to it. The ability to switch between WOF’s, plus its automatically saving them is awesome . Being able to email customers is a great feature.
Having the majority of the reasons for rejection in there automatically for the common ones in good. Everyone has them phone on them and no more looking for the WOF book.
Craig - Green Bay Auto Services Ltd, Auckland
"Once you get used to it, the system is bloody good. I really like the ability to take photos of customer details and store photos of any issues found during inspections. It’s easy to search old WOF inspections without digging through mountains of paperwork—just enter a name, and it comes right up. It makes life so much easier."
Waikato Area
Allan Murray - Farm Services, Ohinewai
"Using the new electronic WOF system for WOF's has made entering details so much easier and time-saving, especially for Vin number checking which means in a year's time all the correct details will be updated.
Also less mistakes with correct information shown. The whole process takes less time.
Having a copy of a recheck definitely saves massive time when customers lose or damage the paper copy, so we have enjoyed being able to use this new method."
Graham - William Gills and Sons, Huntly
"It's going well. It's easier without having to write stuff down on paper. It's always in your pocket making it easy to access."
Luke - Autoworld Papamoa, Papamoa
"Yeah, it's good. The system generates drop-down lists for reasons of rejection, which is really handy. Plus, when using it on an iPad or phone, it remembers the keywords and phrases you use often, making it easier to auto-fill reasons for rejection and comments. It's a solid system, and I’m happy with how it works so far."
Brandon - Anglesea Court Motors 2016 LTD, Hamilton
"Yeah, I'm actually enjoying it. It's smooth, you go around, check all your lights, pass each one, and if something's not working, you just click it and that's your reason. It makes life so much easier.
I don't have to walk to the office grabbing pen and paper or do my signature six times a day; now my name's already on it.
Taking a photo of the rego sticker brings up all the info, so you don't have to hunt down the VIN. The process is much easier overall. I think more people should use it, especially the younger ones—it really speeds up the process."
Matthew - Hillcrest Autos - Hamilton
It's going really well. We do a lot of WOF’s and every time I think of an issue you guys seem to have it fixed it in an update. I've been telling everyone I know how good it is, I love it, I think it's brilliant.
We changed some of our systems so it works better. Got an iPad and a keyboard and made my workshop laptop redundant. So I either use my phone or iPad to do the WOF, and it's also used on the computers in the office. Works really well.
Rani - Automotive Mobile Solutions, Hamilton
"I think it's sweet as. It saves me about 10 minutes each time, and it's really easy to use. I learned off the VTNZ InSpec system, so it was easy to pick up. Definitely a big time saver. Everything's still sweet as the last time I used it."
Phill Attwood - Owner of A & H Motors 2015 Limited, Te Awamutu
"Glenn walked into my workshop back in August 2024 with a pitch that I'm pleased I took the time to listen to.
339 WOF Inspections later and I couldn't imagine not having the itsallauto.com eWOF system integrated into our daily workshop procedures.
Their system is simple to use, it's a great time saver and the efficiency of WOF rechecks is so much better when there's no great big dusty pile of inspection sheets to dig through.
Glenn and the team are super focused on continual improvement and absorb every suggestion allowing them to do so.
I'm excited for the future of this system for the value it will bring into my business."
Andrew - Kihikihi Garage, Kihikihi
"What I like about your system compared to competitors is that you're prepared to listen and grow the software. That willingness to adapt and improve the software for users really stands out."
Wayne - Macfarlane Auto's, Rotorua
"At first, it took a bit of getting used to, but now I'm really enjoying it, it's working really well. The ability to upload photos is fantastic. Customers can actually see what their vehicle was failed on, like cracked bushes or other issues, which makes them feel more confident about the WOF process.
It's definitely a time saver, you can smash out a warrant quickly, and customers appreciate that they can read the check sheet clearly instead of trying to decipher messy handwriting. Overall, it's a great system, and I'm really enjoying using it."
East Coast – North Island Area
Jamie - Simpson Automotive, Gisborne
"What I like about it is that you can give the customer a form they can actually read, rather than trying to decipher my handwriting. It’s a more professional-looking form. It's also easy to find check sheets for rechecks, which helps when customers lose their original forms.
It's a really good system, suits the timing with the VIC integration, and it's way tidier, you don't have old WOF books lying around that you have to destroy later on. Overall, despite small glitches, it's a great system."
Jason - Enterprise Motor Group - Gisborne
Saves me a lot of time on each WOF not having to hand write everything, and the office and customers can read my writing. Pretty awesome system.
Corey Townshend - Suvic Engineering Ltd, Onekawa Napier
"itsallauto's eWOF has been fantastic and simple to use. Since December 2024, I’ve been able to record WOFs directly from my smartphone, saving time when a vehicle arrives for its WOF. Instead of walking to my office to grab paperwork, I can simply pull out my phone and input the customer details.
Even better, by taking a photo of the vehicle's registration tag, most of the vehicle details are automatically uploaded. When entering the details into VIC, the registration, mileage, and the last six digits of the VIN are conveniently pre-filled, making the process quicker, along with a section for completing the WOF pass."
Darren - Pit Stop Hastings, Hastings
"The system has been a huge improvement. It speeds up the procedure, makes things clearer, and the format is much more understandable. Taking the human element of handwriting out of the mix is a big bonus, everything looks more professional and uniform.
Once you get used to the system, it’s brilliant and really user-friendly. It’s a massive time-saver compared to the old paper-based methods, and overall, we're over the moon with how well it works."
Lower North Island
Jono - Jono's Garage, Waipukurau
"I’m really liking the system. It’s streamlined things a lot in my workshop. Once I got used to it, it became really straightforward to use. I love how it saves all my credentials like inspector and authority numbers, so I don’t have to re-enter them every time.
The ability to reorder the check sheet to fit my workflow is great too. I use it on my phone, copying the chassis number and mileage directly into the VIC system, and that makes the process super efficient. The photo feature is handy for documenting major issues like rust, and the system is overall a great time saver."
Sam - Wanganui Motors 1963 - Ford / Mazda Dealership
I definitely like it, find it much better. Much better when looking for recheck sheets, its right there and don't have to go looking for the book.
It's a bit more efficient to take photos for the vehicle and customer details, as I don't have to write everything out. For me, that's better as I don't like writing lots of words on paper. The checksheet is also laid out well.
The changes you make occasionally with an update seem to make it work better.
Rennee & Christine - Advance Automotive, Palmerston North
Christine: "From an office perspective, I really love the system, especially the comment section update. It's super handy to have everything on one screen when inputting data, no need to close it or switch between screens to add comments.
When entering details into VIC, the summary and comments are right there, making it really easy to input everything quickly. I also like how I can see the WOF results immediately after Renee completes them, which speeds up the process significantly. The whole system definitely speeds up the day and reduces the paperwork hassle!"
Renee: "I prefer using the system because it means less paperwork. All the updates have been really good, making it very straightforward and easy to use.
It saves so much time, once I’m done, I can send it straight through, and Christine can process it immediately. It’s great for productivity, and overall, it’s a really good design."
Strat Campbell - Berhampore Service Depot - Wellington
Definitely saving time. Makes the presentatio of the checksheet look a whole lot better as well. Everyone's hand writing is different, and often hard to read, so thats one thing I really like about it.
Originally we were printing off in black and white, and now we are printing off in colour, makes it a whole lot better for the customer.
The other thing that is really good is that were putting their WOF checksheet and put it on the passengers seat of their car, now we print it off in the office and attatch it to their invoice.
South Island
Paul - Motueka WOF's, Auto Super Shoppe, Motueka
"I'm sold on the system. It's pretty easy to use once you learn to navigate it, and it saves a lot of time and paperwork. It's also very easy to set up on tablets for use."
Mark - John Finlay Motors, Christchurch
"Yeah, it's a really good system. The email system goes out, people know when their car's ready. They're much easier to find than the warrants when you've failed them, that's for sure. It's working really well, and we're happy with it."
Anthony - Miles Continental, Christchurch
"In my opinion, the system is really convenient. The techs that actively use it find it easy to complete the e-WOF inspections on their phones. Once they've finished the checks, they copy and paste the results directly into the NZTA Vic system, which makes the process quick and efficient.
Rechecks are quite seamless, you don’t have to search through old books to find the check sheet, as everything is electronic. The e-check sheet is great because it allows us to email customers directly, supporting those who prefer electronic communication.
It fits well with our other electronic systems like service triage and Volkswagen's Service Cam. Overall, it's a great electronic support tool."
Anton - Jacks Service Centre 2011 Ltd, Christchurch
"It's very easy to use, and we've had no real issues with scanning regos, just the occasional VIN that needs to be entered manually. Once you get used to it, it's really quick and efficient.
The ability to email the check sheet directly to customers instead of printing saves a lot of time and reduces paper clutter. It’s also a better system overall because it integrates with our main computer, providing a solid audit trail.
Rechecks are seamless since everything is stored electronically, and the option to take photos really helps explain issues to customers. It’s a quicker, more streamlined process that makes things easier for both us and our customers."
Jeremy - Kevin Stephen Motors, Leeston Canterbury
"It is working really well, it makes the whole system a lot smoother. Easier to log details for the customer and the vehicle, and then it's a lot easier to trace things afterwards as well.
We're really enjoying it. Anton and Jacks Service Centre showed me the system and the next day we started using it, as simple as that, it's a straightforward process. Looking forward to when the WOF reminder system is built into it.
It's a pretty good streamlined process."
Roger Hill - Hill Automotive Alexander Limited, Auto Super Shoppes - Central Otago
"We have been using the new electronic WOF system for 2 months (since late 2024) now and have found it to be brilliant. "
It has sped up our WOF process and looks so much more professional than a hand written check sheet and with the option to email the check sheet directly to the customer from the site means less paper.
The techs in the shop love it as it is very easy to operate and being able to quickly find a check sheet for a recheck is such a bonus.
This is a great invention and would highly recommend."
Reuben - Kingston Mechanical - Queenstown
Going good, all positive at the moment. Its really handy and I’m having no problems. Saves time on every WOF.
Richard - Riversdale Service Station 2009 Ltd, Southland
"Yeah, it's very good. I really like the ease of going back and finding check sheets and rechecks, or if you need to look up information on a vehicle, it's simple to go through multiple check sheets electronically.
It's really quick and definitely saves time. We're really enjoying it overall, and the techs find it much easier compared to flipping through old paper records. Some of the younger customers even notice and appreciate the technology, while the older ones are a bit more curious about it."
Matt Tretheway - Tramway Motors, Invercargill
"Massive time saver! Not only when doing a WOF check, but also when looking up previous checks to quote repairs or entering a recheck."
"It's really intuitive and fits in my pocket, I won't miss the paper check sheets.
Kevin - Riverside Autos - Invercargill
Absolutely loving the system. Biggest thing I love about it is being able to email it straight to the customer.
Less paper work and customers absolutely that idea as well, they dont have to worry about holding the old checksheet, putting them in the glovebox, and piling everything up.
It is a lot easier to use, if you make a mistake you can rectify it straight away. With the paper checksheets if you make a mistake you cant really twink it out. With this you can delete it and fix it.
Calvin Little - Newfield Autos - Invercargill
Really like it, makes things much easier. Just need to tap the reason for rejection rather than writing it out. Can just keep the phone in your pocket while walking around the car.
Really like the option of printing out blank checksheets in case the eWOF system is not available.
