    Concerns some Hamilton vehicles may be unsafe after shoddy warrant of fitness inspections

    Concerns some Hamilton vehicles may be unsafe after shoddy warrant of fitness inspections


    The New Zealand Transport Agency has immediately suspended Michael Cox and his two businesses Auto Super Shoppe Hamilton Central and Hamilton Automotive Repairs Ltd.

    Cox allowed four unauthorised people to use his credentials to do Wof inspections over a 10-month period.

    He was also failed to properly inspect lights, transmissions and structural corrosion.

    NZTA will contact the owners of more than a thousand affected vehicles.
