Describe it once. Matched providers come to you.
Your fail sheet lists exactly what the inspector found. Type those items into the job, or add a photo of the sheet with personal details covered, and providers can quote the specific repairs. In New Zealand a recheck is usually free if it is done at the same inspection station within 28 days, so it is worth sorting the repairs promptly.
Common jobs
- Tyres, lights and wiper faults
- Brake and suspension items

- Exhaust leaks and noise
