what do you think that kinda inspection will be done! Or the cost doesn't justify the work!

Let us know how much they fail you on and how quickly they come up with a price for fixing it all, anyone offering cheap WOF's is either not doing it properly or else is wanting a lot of work out of you.It isn't a moneymaker otherwise for that price.

My uncle does mine for $40 but he doesn't grizzle about stupid things EVER. He gives me shit for bad ball joints and things though, it's great cause he does a REAL safety check and will even make me get an alignment if it drives funny or point out things I might of missed on my own lift.

its good reading the publics perception on pricing and what type of job they feel are getting.

Cheap WOF's are a false economy, its a loss leader for the garage to get your business, its in their interest to find something wrong with your car.

My son went for a $25 warrant in Onehunga. When I heard, I told him to watch out for a rort on repairs. No problem, the proprieter even fixed a couple of small things for nothing.
Not all inexpensive places are a rip off.

i have mine the cheapest in town ,and it sure brings in the numbers ,also alot of the "lesser maintained" vehicles that bring in good returns!
so in my veiw dropping the price by $6.50 was a great marketing experiance,that i am now benifiting from

All WoF inspections are exactly the same and performed precisely to an accepted set of standards, therefore making it irrelevant where you go and what you pay.right!
Yeah, right.

personally I pay $43 but to me the price of the check is irrelevant, its the quality of the check I'm interested in, been going to the same place for years and the guys are very thorough and a fail is always completely justified, cant say I've ever picked up something they've missed either.

I have now had three $25 warrants at a place in New Lynn. Two different cars. Very happy with the service. On the other hand, I have found some of the big $47 very unhelpful eg failed for some condensation in my park light, failed for being out of windscreen washer water!

I went for a $25 one last week, just because they were not busy. I got failed on 3 things, 2 of them I knew of, I was happy with that. But for a good in depth warrant, go see Sonic Automotive in Manukau, great guys and won't rip you off

Not all cheap places are bad, more a generalization. Had cheap wofs before but have not found them to be in need of work. Yeah some are but not all, just dont let them take you for a ride. Just out smart them as it has to be in the virm.
