Dotars Delays?

[SS8_Gohan]

you talking to me Gary or nouvo33?

[IOWNU]

How long to DOTARS actually take, i think they are pretty efficient. In most cases, its the RAWS workshops inaction that causes delays. Once they have your deposit, they can take their time.

They have onviously not complied with the contract.  I reckon you have good grounds to take it to another compliance shop. I would give DOTARS a call (be prepared for a wait) and ask them if you can change compliance shops.  Maybe call some other compliance shops (for your model) and ask them what to do if another compliance shop fails.

I really interested about the answer of it, can we change the compliance workshop after the car is landed here already? Is there any problem with the import approval?

because my car is sitting in the workshop for 10 months already................................and still waiting!!

any info will be deeply appreciated

hahaha, i've just gone through this whole thing about changing workshops.

short answer yes, but quite complicated.

Is your a test car? What has happened so far? How far along is the workshop?

SS8_Gohan:

yes, my car is a test car.

my car landed here Feb and sent to work shop next week after that.

Usually I contacted the workshop by phone, because I gonna work from Mon to Fri. Four months ago, they told me they have done all the things of my car aleady and booked in for inspection day as well, they are just waiting for people to come.

But I went to the workshop last month and looked at my car, it seems they haven't done nothing, the tyres, seat belt......etc is still the same as just landed...................

As you said we can change the workshop, how complicated to change it? Will it take a long time? Any info will be helpful and thanks in deep.

Discussion Item Text

The Import Approval number 71774 / 5 does not exist for the vehicle. You need to remove the spaces between the 4 and /5

resubmit vic ..without spaces...wait a few more days

Don't panic. What the workshops mean by saying they have "done all the things" is that they have sent DOTARS all the evidence packs & the other guff they need. It doesn't mean they have actually finished modifying your car. Same thing happened to me. The wait for DOTARS is interminable - that will be the source of the delay, not so much the workshop.

Couple of questions:

When did the shop submit the evidence pack?

When is your inspection date?

[fullo]

don't know about the evidence pack, however the workshop said they have booked in four months ago, now they are still waiting it and they don't know the inspection day as well...........

are they lairs or am I too sensitive?

I`ll go sensitive

inspections can be done by DOTARS with 1 weeks notice

I contacted DOTARS, they said they have not yet received a Vehicle Inspection Certificate for the vehicle from the workshop, that means the workshops lied.....

What can I do now?
