Hi all I am in Queensland and I got a RWC inspection done and it failed, so I got the repairs done by a mechanic that were picked by the inspector, I then went back for the checking of the repairs and he didn’t even look at them instead he picked on other things and failed it on new different items?

Can he do this after he had inspected the car and failed items already to which I then got repaired. He had a really poor attitude and seemed hell bent on not passing it like a big power trip to him. Surely he has got to only check the repairs he failed. Please help or point me in the direction I need to go that I can ask someone about this situation. I am all for safety but there were also things that the car doesn’t need because it never came out with them etc.

    1. At the end of the day it’s his name on it signing off on it being safe…

    2. but there were also things that the car doesn’t need

    Like?

    1. Can’t you go somewhere else for sign off?
  • Cfotg on 10/07/2022 - 12:58

    Look I understand about it all but when he is picking up something that isn’t required and he is saying it is and that’s why it failed. It has it in the manufacture owners manual they don’t come with it and not required. Yes I can go somewhere else but that’s not the point the point is he has gone over it and all checked out than what he picked and I repaired them end of problem and to not even check them. I might say also it is registered and has been registered every year for 46 years

      …has been registered every year for 46 years

      Your car is 46 years old? At that age, something that wasn't rusted-through last week could be rusted-through this week! lol

      Unless your car is a collectible or something, it's time to get a new one dude.

                          • Eeples on 14/07/2022 - 22:50

                            @Cfotg: I think the mistake you are making (besides the discourtesy) is that 'claiming' and 'a bit late' are not nouns.

                            ie. It would be fine to ask "What is the valid reason for your claim?" but "…..your claiming?" and "YOUR a bit late" are both plainly wrong.

                            Thanks for tripling down, btw.

                            PS. In your world, it is okay to '…your charming' not that you would ever say that :)

                                      The mistake you made is you responded to something so trivial (because you like to troll) when you knew what the question read meant or else you wouldn’t have gone to this much trouble to feed your own ego which means your wrong again, it’s your. 🔥🔥

    Something missing a RWC can be done by mechanics, so why did you not get the mechanic that fixed it to do the RWC?

    • Cfotg on 10/07/2022 - 16:26

      They only do the rwc they are not a mechanic shop and lucky because they would have made a killing on repairs. Lol. So hence where we’re at that’s where I will go for rwc now.

    there were also things that the car doesn’t need because it never came out with them etc.

    You still haven't said what they are.

    Generally, they need to find all the issues on the first pass and can't have a second go. If you think you are being disadvantaged then report him to the QLD version of the RMS.

    Personally, I'd go elsewhere.

    Find another inspector. Surely there’s a few around. Consider reporting this guy to the relevant authority.

    As above, they shouldn’t be knocking it back for new stuff on a second inspection - except maybe if you’ve done significant repairs that have affected something else.

          I'm not sure if Safety cert if required for interstate rego transfers, of if they're trying to sell it. Either way, I agree they're being unreasonably antagonistic for a thread asking for help.

            New rego, full inspection. Old car or not.

            Regarding antagonistic answers, not knowing what was defected is unhelpful.
            Bald tyres or a missing light globe will be defected. As well as a cracked/bent/modified chassis will. One is simpler to fix than the other.

            And that is to wanting to know if an inspector can pick new things on the inspection of the repaired work?

            One word: yes.

            Missing a serious (or not) defect on a preliminary inspection (perhaps because there were so many other defects) doesn't retract of finding other previously undetected defects.

            Or perhaps the inspector learn, after the inspection, that a a particular new area or section has to be more carefully inspected as it is prone to failure.

            Also new damage/defects can occur between first and second test. In particular with such old vehicles.

            The inspector risks his/her license if things go bad. Never too casual is the key.

    If he fails it a second time it's hard to take it elsewhere, if you don't have the repairs done and have the same person sign off on it you might never get it registered again.
    He has to submit the paper work to dept tpt after a period of time and if he submits yours as unroadworthy your vehicle is classed as defective, unregistered and uninsured.
    If you get someone else to do it and it passes then a lot of questions will be asked.

    • Euphemistic on 11/07/2022 - 18:41

      Depends what the new faults are. If they are made safe (or aren’t unsafe in the first place) there’s no reason you can’t get it passed.

      If ‘questions are asked’ it’s OK as long as there is a legitimate answer.

  • rowenaduncan on 11/07/2022 - 23:49

    What do YOU think of the new issues he picked up? Do YOU think they are genuine? Assuming these checks make a car "roadworthy" as the name suggests, why wouldn't you want to cover all bases and drive a safe car. (Or share the road with the rest of us - driving a safe vehicle)?
