if your car fails a wof and its from vtnz can you go to a different place and see if the results are diiferent !

Its on computer.
smac, May 29, 9:09am
Yes you can, but you pay again.
melly16, May 29, 9:12am
yea but the results from the first wof will be on the computer right! so there wudnt be much point!
mugenb20b, May 29, 9:13am
Exactly.

You are more than welcome to get a second opinion if you feel the first guy is pedantic. The difference is you just pay for another inspection, especially if its a fail for something that is costly and doesn't need fixing.
smac, May 29, 9:17am
Well, by your very question you've suggested there is a point. You obviously doubt the reason for the fail, so I'd say you have two options:
1. Go talk to the manager at the place concerned (best)
2. Go somewhere else, pay again ,and take the risk they are swayed by the previous fail.

ok thanks for your advice, they were just over pedantic i think and also had passed the car 6 months before and then this time said the cars to low.
johnf_456, May 29, 9:20am
How high is the car, have you measured it!
a18a, May 29, 9:23am
you can go to another vtnz within 28 days and get a free recheck
bikernutrr, May 29, 9:23am
maybe can't get the ruler underneath!
doug207, May 29, 9:25am
Maybe it is too low
Springs can sag.
melly16, May 29, 9:26am
less than 100mls they didnt say exactly, im a female and dont know whats going on lol but they say it could of dropped thats why its to low this time.
bikernutrr, May 29, 9:27am
Too low.
carmedic, May 29, 9:27am
When you told them that they said!
melly16, May 29, 9:29am
yea they said its to low now and said i need to get a cert but stuff paying heaps for one of those
bikernutrr, May 29, 9:31am
Best to take it to some suspension specialists, get them to take a look.
a18a, May 29, 9:31am
put some bigger wheels/tyres on your car. that's what one wof guy told me to do when my car failed on being just a little bit too low
bikernutrr, May 29, 9:35am
If there is a suspension issue putting bigger wheels on won't solve the problem.
gtf, May 29, 9:36am
Or did he mean "standard wheels with higher profile tyres"!
melly16, May 29, 9:38am
thanks :) im sure ill figure it out somehow cars cost to much muni lol
mugenb20b, May 29, 9:38am
OK, do you know "who" lowered your car in the last 6 months!
mugenb20b, May 29, 9:39am
money.
melly16, May 29, 9:39am
no one lowerd it at all thats why i though it was odd being failed

very few places check the computer 1st, so if they fill out the paperwork and it passes they cant un-pass it when they check on the computer.
