Some are good others are not | gary67 (56) | ||

Trust only cuts it if it is supported by full disclosure. When I am travelling at 100km I want to know that the car is up to it. |

| 731582 | 2008-12-23 01:30:00 | But the most revealing statement was that most of the "operators" in a testing station are not mechanics. I would have thought that would have been a pre-requisite. Apparently not. As long as they know one end of the car from the other and can pass a test they can work in a testing station. It is because they are not mechanics that they do not have the same level of knowledge as a mechanic and so do not have the experience required to understand the differences between old and new cars. It was a very revealing conversation. FWIW, at our local VTNZ testing station, mechanics are required to have a minimum of 5 years of auto mechanic experience. |
