WOVI Inspection in Sunshine Coast

If you've bought a repairable write-off in Sunshine Coast, you'll need to pass a Written-Off Vehicle Inspection (WOVI) before Queensland Transport will let you re-register it. With no inspection station on the Sunshine Coast itself, locals rely on Narangba - making an early, monitored booking even more valuable.

Your nearest WOVI inspection station from Sunshine Coast

Sunshine Coast vehicles are usually inspected at Narangba, the nearest approved written-off vehicle inspection station to the north of Brisbane.

Expect a 45-70 minute drive from most Sunshine Coast suburbs to Narangba, so it pays to lock in a slot before you make the trip.

What to bring to your Sunshine Coast WOVI inspection

Turning up with complete paperwork is the single biggest factor in passing first time. For your inspection you'll generally need:

• Photo identification and your customer reference number (CRN)
• Tax invoices and receipts for all parts used in the repair
• Receipts for any second-hand parts, with the donor vehicle details
• Before, during and after photos of the repair work
• Proof of purchase showing how and where you bought the vehicle
• The written-off vehicle's identifiers (VIN, engine and compliance plates)

How the Sunshine Coast WOVI process works

1. 1

   Complete your repairs

   Finish all structural and safety repairs and keep every receipt, especially for airbags, seatbelts and panels.

2. 2

   Book your inspection

   Secure a slot at the Narangba station - or let us monitor for cancellations and book on your behalf.

3. 3

   Prepare your evidence

   Assemble your receipts and photos in order so the assessor can match every part to the damage.

4. 4

   Attend the inspection

   Present the vehicle and paperwork at Narangba. The assessor checks identity, safety and that repairs match the recorded damage.

5. 5

   Re-register your vehicle

   Once you pass, take your WOVI approval to Queensland Transport to complete registration.
