Hi Rob
Went to an automotive engineering
shop and paid them. Sounds simple and between you and me it was. Cost close to $2K all up including some aid bags and both swerve and stability driving tests.
I got the engineers name from a list of approved businesses and engineers on the local ACT rego site.
The only hassle:
The first pit inspection at the rego office was gruelling. The bloke (boss man I learnt) claimed that I had a worn CV joint. I had to get it replaced, even though it had been done 6 months earlier. And by the same
shop that I went back to. It was easier just doing it, than having an argument. You never know what they would find. The car had already been inspected last Christmas anyway.
Apart from the "boss man" manager who disappeared just as I got back to get it reinspected - mungrel, all went smoothly. He wouldn't countersign the final inspection, he just walked off without a word to anyone and turned his phone off. We waited for ages until the other staff got a bigger boss man to come and
sign the papers. Everyone else was excellent and even apologetic. But this is
Canberra and we are dealing with some very strange people at times.
It was quite easy actually and worth every cent spent.
