    💬 Sheryl says: Hi guys, I must admit I got annoyed at the continual notifications that my car had no WOF when I did go in and get it sorted and it passed. I have a sticker on my car saying 05/09/2016 which means it passed. If it weren't for you guys and your continual notification I would have not known that actually my car passed at the Drivesure Manukau WOF but the system did NOT record it (I really don't know they all blame each other) I called NZTA and they blamed Drivesure and so forth. So thank you all for keeping it real and updated, I was about to do the fateful and unsubscribe Im so glad I didn't. You guys did me a favour I really appreciate it. Regards

    💬 Stella says: Hi Guys I just wanted to say 'THANK YOU' for your continual support with my personal vehicle. I am very appreciative that you keep me informed with the 'Alerts' I thought they were more annoying than of any use HOW WRONG WAS I. NZTA said you guys did me a huge favour by telling me my car was not recorded as WOF PASSED, and had I not investigated I would have no known that the van I have been driving for the last month was not even legally allowed to be on the road because NZTA were not updated (doh) A quick phone call to the right people and all of a sudden its a server issue...OMG for a whole month????. Anyhow long story short, you guys don't get enough thanks so we think you guys ROCK!! Thank you so much and what makes this even better is that the service you provided me with was FREE how cool is that. 5 Starts from me guys. Cheers

    💬 David G. says: I have been "in shock" from your last e-mail! Frankly your response was not what I expected - but all the more welcome for all that. You have started me on a path to believing that ethics still exist in business! I've told the story to all my friends - they are as impressed as I am, and as gratified!
