I had a tank recertified and I thought I was ripped off at about $300! You definitely were.
I sold my D1 and the buyer was to get his own roadworthy.
He rang me today to let me know what was happening as it was sold with rego in my name, the deal was he had to do all the rwc stuff.
The install was twin subas underneath.
They had it for 3 days!, and charged $1600. (excuse was they had $600 labour as they had to remove the tow bar. )Tested and restamped the tanks not new ones, $1000.
If he wanted new tanks they were $600 each.
I would have thought ok, if they take the tanks out the labour would be justified, but $1000 to test. would have thought $300 max for that.
I know the recents rains had wasted away the top soil exposing gold nuggets, but did it also find it's way to the lpg business

Tank testing per tank is usually less than $100 per tank. SA and VIC have a company that does mobile testing, ie they come to your workshop. It's even cheaper if you go to them. And labour by an incompetent overcharging grease monkey? Sky's the limit. I personally would allow 4 hours max for me to remove/refit. (including back bumper/towbar removal) Plus any other fittings/hoses/bolts that need to be replaced.
and don't some brands of tanks need the valves replacing when being tested as they are destroyed when being readied for testing?
