Still overpriced for a car WOF, but they are open on weekends, which was worth the extra as I couldn't take time off work during the week....

Did a WOF on my camper van today , the service was very helpful . The wiper blades needed replacing so they offered to do it which saved me time and also areas that needed attention before the WOF was pointed out to me . Excellent service , done with a smile ..

Excellent service, friendly and efficient. No booking necessary, just drive in. I didn't have to wait.

Got my timing right for a WOF so was quick and easy. Needed new brake pads and they did them straight away so drove away with a new WOF.

Falsely failed due to incompetence, and disgraceful conduct - as it appears is common with this business.
VTK failed my car for a suspension arm that was almost new, because it had a urethane bush (which is incredibly common with common replacement parts). After not being able to find the receipt for the arm, I almost went and bought a new car, as the repair cost would not have been worth keeping the car. I then luckily found it and BNT thankfully were able to talk to the vehicle testing compliance officer responsible for the entire Lower North Island, and he confirmed urethane bushes weren't a reason to fail it. Regardless of him telling them this directly, they refused to accept it, necessitating calling him back to talk again. They AGAIN couldn't comprehend what he was telling them, or what the wording in the wof manual says. When I first arrived for the re-check, I asked to speak to the owner, who I was told wasn't there. Then later the mechanic said he was the owner, however then the receptionist (the father) said he was actually a half owner, and got quite angry towards me when I asked why he wasn't honest with me. Then the son (the owner? or half owner?) randomly tells me his dad owns half Paraparaumu industrial precinct. I asked what that had to do with my WOF, and he paused, stared me in the eyes, and deadpan responded - "it means we're in a different class to you". First time I'd ever heard someone ever say that to me, so was quite surprised that this wof guy and his receptionist father were supposedly superior to me - who they don't know from a bar of soap. When asking for my keys to finish the wof and move along, the son agreed to give me a full refund, however as soon as he had the keys, immediately reneged on the agreement (he said he meant he would give me a refund only if he doesn't process the wof).
These guys are incompetent, lying, scum operators and I will be going elsewhere in future. Caveat emptor.
