Right here in Richmond

An established local testing station at 13 McGlashen Ave. Drop in or book ahead and talk to the person doing the check.

Done while you wait

Most Warrant of Fitness checks are sorted on the spot. We know you have places to be, so we do not sit on it.

No surprises

If something needs doing to pass, we show you and quote it before any work starts. You decide what happens next.

What we do

Testing and inspections, done properly

From your yearly Warrant of Fitness to a full pre-purchase inspection, we check the things that keep Richmond drivers safe and legal on the road.

01

Warrant of Fitness

WOF checks done while you wait. Anything needed to pass is shown to you and quoted first, so there are no surprises.

02

Prechecks

Be ready and be confident before the official test. We run through everything first so your WOF goes through cleanly.

03

Vehicle Inspections

Thorough, reliable and trusted pre-purchase and safety checks. Know exactly what you are buying, or where your vehicle stands.

04

Brakes & Suspension

Safety comes first. We check pads, discs, shocks and struts so your vehicle stops straight and sits the way it should.

05

Tyres & Steering

Grip, control and confidence. We check tread, wear and steering so the vehicle tracks true and holds the road.

06

Lights & Mechanical

Working well and driving well. Lights, wipers, horn and the mechanical basics all checked so nothing lets you down.

About the station

The testing station Richmond drivers trust

Richmond Vehicle Testing Station is run by Barry Andrews out of the same premises as the brake and clutch workshop, at 13 McGlashen Ave. One address, two trades, and the same honest approach to both.

You deal with the people doing the inspection, get a clear explanation of anything your vehicle needs, and only ever pay for what actually needs doing. That is how the station has earned a 4.8 star rating from local drivers.

  • Locally owned and run, right in Richmond
  • Anything needed shown and quoted first

Had mechanical trouble today and called here in a pinch, even just for some advice. The 2 guys in the workshop, Clive and Jack, were absolutely outstanding. So friendly, and they diagnosed and fixed my car for me there and then within 45mins of me arriving. Thanks a bunch guys!
