Tony Allen Auto Service has been South Auckland's trusted WOF centre since 1985. book online or call now.
Clover Park drivers heading to Tony Allen Auto Service at 139 Cavendish Drive, Manukau are typically less than ten minutes away — a straightforward run via Flat Bush Road or Chapel Road to Great South Road. We have been carrying out NZTA-authorised WOF inspections for the Clover Park area since 1985.
As a full-service independent workshop, we can deal with most WOF failure items in-house — brakes, suspension, tyres, lights, and auto electrical. Clover Park drivers do not need to book a second appointment elsewhere if something comes up on the inspection. We carry the parts, we have the team, and in most cases we can turn repairs around the same day.
Our approach is the same for every Clover Park customer: fixed $80 WOF price, written inspection report, and a straight conversation about what we found. If it passes, you are out the door. If repairs are needed, we tell you exactly what they cost before starting.
Our NZTA-authorised inspectors work through all mandatory check points — every time, no shortcuts.
If your vehicle fails, in most cases we can carry out the repairs in Manukau — saving you the hassle of booking elsewhere.

For example, a sticker with the inner hole at 6 and the outer hole at 26 expired in June 2026. If your sticker is faded or the punched holes are hard to read, check your expiry instantly at nzta.govt.nz using your licence plate number — it takes about 30 seconds.
