I don't pay anything.. cos Dad, but I think it is normally like $35 or so, takes about 30 mins. basically check to make sure the car is safe to be on the road, Road testing of the brakes is mandatory.

A lot of people don't know how to look after their cars, and some don't even care.

My Ex-Girlfriend is actually a prime example of this. i told her several times to get her transmission looked at, as it was changing into second really rough and making some weird noises. sure enough she just shrugged it off.

A month after we broke up i get a message "my car is in getting the transmission rebuilt. you were right"

That sounds like a good excuse for the mechanics to go have a hoon.

And then she took you back for some make-up sex?

Some just knock the tester on the desk

She did not.
might have something to do with my gloating in saying "i told you so"

LOL.... Should do the test properly.

Walts - I guess if the mechanic was irresponsible they could, however if Dad caught one of his guys thrashing a customer car they would be grilled for it... you never know who would be watching.. only takes one person to go back to the owner and say "I seen your car doing skids and speeding" to give a business a bad reputation.

So a bloke who owns a Ferrari 458 or a Porsche GT2 needs to take his car in for a check each year and they need to take it for a drive to test the brakes?

Sounds like fun.

I now want a pet timberlake.

Weirdo.

It isn't all that fun Walts, As I said, mechanic needs to be responsible.
RTA (whatever they call themselves now) outlines a location that a mechanic can use for testing, as in they say "use this street".. the test is from about 40km/h to a stop

Just think of how quickly you could get to 40kph in a GT2 RS.

Haha this bloke looks like AMS.

Spoiler

[B4TT]

Weirdo.

Sif you wouldn't want your own lake.. that is surrounded by timber

Afternoon gents. Good to have you back Tom!

I had no idea they actually road test the brakes. I think a lot of places just knock the tester off the table as Adam mentioned and print off the sheet....
