If you go to a VTNZ in one town for a warrant check, and it possibly fails, can you take it for a recheck at a VTNZ in your town!

Its logged with what it failed on in the VTNZ site so who ever is doing the retest will know what it failed on. SO yes it can be rechecked elsewhere but Im not too sure how things would go with the paperwork!

yes but you need the original checksheet, AFAIK

Do you mean like their copy as well! Should I ask them for it! We're from Napier but buying a car in Taupo and want to get a WOF before coming home

The new inspection will not automatically see the fail from the previous test unless they go to a specific screen. If you wish to pay the fee again, you are entitled to have it rechecked. be aware, they might find more things than the original fail.

You have to be on something, I would not take my wheel barrow near them.

And even if you did the brakes would still fail on imbalance."But my wheelbarrow only has one wheel and doesn't have brakes!""Doesn't matter the rollers still say it fails, scuff the tyre up and get it warm and put a load of cement in it and bring it back, or maybe the proportioning valve is faulty"Blah blah blah.

Yes you 100% defiantly can, just take it with the check sheet (the one they give the customer) to the Napier VTNZ and they will re-test it.

Anything will do chief, having a drink beats the hell out of fixing non existant brake problems all day doesn't it lol/

Some garages do but they are not worth going to, simple find a mechanic you trust who respect and treats you well and go back to him. He will also most likely return the favour and look after you, cowboys are everwhere.
