He spent about 1/2 hour including hoist raise to check under and mini raise to use a crow bar to test ball joints. for once he earned his $43.
AND THE OLD GIRL PASSED EVERY TEST!!!!!!!
Apparently they were fined and cancelled a while ago for not doing the full test and mended their ways, much to my dismay.
I am happy that my maintenance is correct and no uglies raised their head, however I was ****ting bricks there for a while.

Pity my OKA hadn't been taken to that shop.... It passed its NSW test less than 6 months before a Vic tester presented me with two full pages of faults, some serious...
