This is THE worst place to go for a restricted license , money making is all they interested. My daughter drives better than 90% of the drivers on the road yet VTNZ fails her time and time again for the most ridiculous reasons , dont even do a full test. Drive up the road and fail immediately return to base , I suggest no one goes to this place as I know of multiple people that the same thing happens to over and over , rather drive the extra distance and go somewhere else

I used this VTNZ for the first time during the school holidays, on a Monday afternoon. It is local to me and I thought I'd give it a go since my local mechanic couldn't get me in on the same day, which was a problem as my wof was going to expire the next day. Oops! I drove in the entrance and found I needed to follow the WOF arrow which takes you around the back, where you join the queue of cars waiting to get a wof. Thankfully only one car was ahead of me. I went inside to arrange the paperwork, where there were 2 people on reception and there were people being served. I waited about 10mins, then it was my turn. I gave the info and paid, and took a seat to wait. The staff on reception were pleasant and seemed to be working hard to be efficient (though one could do with learning to type faster, lol, as taking my details for a reminder was a tad painful to watch). Some people came in after 3.30pm to get or renew their licenses, unfortunately, they don't do licencing after 3.30pm, so they were told to come back. There was a steady turnover of people taking their drivers licence tests. It took just under an hour for my car to get it's WOF. The staff member who talked with me about it was friendly and professional, and he said I had timed it well, as they weren't too busy. Cost for a Car WOF was $78, only $13 more than what I had been quoted for my local mechanic/service center. Happy to pay a bit more to get it done same day. Area of improvement: could have done with another person on reception. Or maybe an assigned WOF receptionist, to keep that queue ticking over quickly. Overall it was a pleasant experience, and I will definitely be going back.
