VTNZ Upper Hutt are arseholes

[riffer]

I've been taking my bikes and cars there for 5 years. Gary's always seen me right.

But today, he's not there. I turn up at 12.00 with an hour left to go.

VT: "No sorry we won't give you a warrant. There's only an hour left until we close and we have four cars to do."

ME: "But there's three inspectors here. Surely you can fit me in."

VT: "Nope. We can't be bothered doing bikes today."

ME: "But I've been coming here for years. Gary always gives me a warrant."

VT: "Gary's not here. And no one else wants to deal with your sort today."

Fine. Canon Point Mechanics got my $35 today. And will do in future. VTNZ can stick with their Pajeros with boat trailers and people movers. I'll deal with people who understand my sort. And Gary will get a call on Monday. I'm sure he'll be delighted to get rid of my type of customer.

And to top it off I had to fork out $270 for a year's rego too...

Ouch. It's been a $1000 month for the bike.

burn it down!

[riffer]

LOL. That must make 1 for you, 500 for me Mark.

Nah. Gary (the boss) is a good bloke.

His staff are just a pack of lazy pricks with a big anti-biker problem.

[Swoop]

"Your sort"...

It sounds like the staff have an attitude. Wonderful...

Just told my Dad the story. As he said "going to VTNZ, you can only loose".

They seem to point out many more things wrong with a vehicle than a shop trying to get some work.

I've got no problem with anyone pointing out anything that doesn't come up to scratch on my bike. That's why I service it fastidiously myself. I know there's nothing wrong with it when I take it for a warrant.

It's getting told that people don't want to deal with me I have a problem with.

Hmm. I thought it was colloquial Spanish for chronic masturbator.

Not having a go - but it sounds like Gary and his business needs help rather than a loss of custom? Better staff rather than a loss of good custom - or did I miss something?

I'm guessing Gary will be told of what happened?

edit - I see he will -all good.

Sounds like a polite letter to VTNZ head office is in order. They tend to take these things pretty seriously.

They may not have been in a position to actually give out a bike warrant. VTNZ policy is that bike inspector must hold a full bike licence. That doesn't explain the "your kind" tho...

No - they had three guys on who were all capable. They just didn't want to do any more work and got irritated when I wouldn't take no for an answer. Trust me - I offered to help them in any way to get a warrant today. They just wanted to have a cruisy day and didn't want some scruffy biker giving them the hurryup with only an hour to go. I'll talk to Gary about it Monday.

Anyway - bygones. I got the warrant thanks to Cannon Point.

As a white middle class male I find it quite invigorating to be the subject of prejudice now and then.

It's getting told that people don't want to deal with me I have a problem with.

Man goes to the doctor & says, "Doctor, Every time i look in the mirror i get a hard on". Doctor says, "Thats because you look like a cunt"


I dunno, Just a thought. hehe, Sorry mate.
