I wanted to start this up again to create some competition with WOF prices. It's just getting ridiculously expensive for a checkup. So, let your fellow riders know the best place in terms of price and competency to get a WOF for their bike (in Auckland).
The two places I've been in the past two years are:
1. Colemans Suzuki, $55 for a 10-15mins check. Yeah the dude was good, I did have to ask what condition the steering wheel bearing was in - for him to actually check it so hey
2/3. Motohaus Tyre & WOF Who don't do WOFs themselves. They send it to Johns and Gee Automotive down the road for $50 (in 2020) for a 20min check. In this process I had my bike checked twice haha so I can say it was very well looked at.
* AJ at Motohaus doesn't take WOF jobs anymore *
Let us hear your story.
The price anybody might pay for a WOF is irrelevant. The basic expectation is that you can trust the WOF provider with their Checks and are accurate with the standards they keep ... especially when checking YOUR motorcycle.
If you base YOUR standards and opinions of their abilities ... on what it financially cost you in $$$ alone ... and compare prices they charge you on that basis ... that is your decision to make.
There are issues that need your consideration before leaving your pride and joy at any establishment. If they test your motorcycle and it fails ...
Do they ...
1. Contact you immediately and tell you what they've found ... prior to making necessary repairs ... and informing you of the probable costs .. ???
2. Wait until you show up to collect it ... and give you the bad news (just before you were intending to head away on it for a long weekend trip).
3. Fix the issues and hand you the bill. (Did asking you for your permission to do this feature in the WOF process) Please pay at the front desk on your way out.
4. Do they warn you of upcoming issues .. brake-pads/disc pad thickness's ... fluid levels etc.
5. Does the location of their premise's ... have any part to play in the costs being charged .. ??
6. Do you ask around at other establishments prior to bringing it to them .. ?? Or was that your aim when this thread was started .. ???
7. Do you regard the WOF for your car ... in the same regard as you do for your Motorcycle .. ??? Is there a difference in any regard .. ??
When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
