Went to get a blueslip today, i think its called hills district mechanic or something similar in rouse hill. Off annangrove road, opposite street to the paintball place.
Sit down and wait, no worries. 10 min later, sorry, i dont have time to do it now and the old volkswagens are all shitbox so i have to go over them with a fine hair comb to check everything.
I was rather offended and just walked out. Will not recommend this guy to anyone. I wasnt even rude or anything, it would have been fine by me just to be told, sorry i dont have time today, and thats it. But this wasnt the case.
That's the thing with VWs I'm afraid, you either love them or hate them and that guy obviously came into the 2nd category. He obviously doesn't need the money either so not the brightest of sparks is he!

So I wonder what he does with other cars "so i have to go over them with a fine hair comb to check everything."? Does he not check all cars with a fine hair comb? I thought that was the purpose of a blue slip.
Theirs 2 sorts of people in the world, VW lovers and people who wished that they did.
good to hear your on the road...that bloke did his time as a vw mechanic and tells everyone they are all shit boxes...except the ones that pay his wage...what a dick head
You know where I work and one of the guys that use to work with me now is with the RTA and is currently working around Sydney checking out Inspection stations. Maybe I should suggest a place for him to attend 👍👍👍
What you think. Talk tomorrow. Kevin
I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!
As for the rta today, wasnt happy with them either. All over 1 signature, but i had a tax invoice from the people i bought it from! and then she tried to get smart and wanted me to fill out a page on what i have fixed, why it was fixed, blah blah blah.
Lady, it wasnt a write-off. Had a bit of a scream and then walked out and went to another RTA who passed everything straight away and passed over the plates.
She only wanted to get smart with me coz i had a bit of a bad attitude after she upset me. All i wanted was some number plates, not that hard is it?
