6th March 2012 I've had the opposite experience - they've been very very good over multiple WOFs and services for 3 different vehicles.
VTNZ tend to give you a WOF even with things most places wouldn't - because they're likely to cause problems (things like brakes and c.v. boots spring to mind, as I've had worn brake discs and split c.v. boots and still gotten a WOF at VTNZ).
The difference is whether or not you're happy if they fail and potentially cause a safety issue sometime before the next WOF.
2nd February 2013 Made a booking for WOF a week in advance on the phone, however, on my arrival the mechanic told me he had too much other work to do as he was alone in the workshop. As for my booking, he said he can't help me, so I had to go away.

19th August 2011 I took my car into Khyber Automotive Specialists for a WOF, who were friendly and happy to help. I asked for them to call before commencing work, which they did around 11am. Much to my dismay, they reported that I would need approx $1500 worth of work done (includes parts, labour, and GST) to get my warrant. I was told I needed everything done to get the warrant. This included: my rear brakes (disc pads and disc rotars), 2 tyres, oil and filter change, and a new air filter. I don't spend that amount of money lightly, so I picked up the car that evening and took it for a second opinion. They had already done the oil and filter, so I ended up paying for that.
My car passed it's WOF at VTNZ with not issues.
I cannot believe the audacity of these mechanics to claim I needed work done when I clearly didn't.
Very disappointed and would NOT recommend.
