Nearly 2700 warrants revoked over ‘errors’

Thousands of people are now driving around with invalid warrants of fitness after Waka Kotahi suspended an auto shop from issuing them. Waka Kotahi senior manager for safer vehicles Nicole Botherway said the transport agency had suspended Q’s Auto in Henderson, Auckland, after ‘‘the discovery of improper processes and numerous significant inspection errors’’. The 2674 warrants issued by Q’s Auto are now invalid. ‘‘We are contacting as many owners as possible as quickly as possible, and we want to alert people now before they leave for holidays, or before other local inspection sites close for the holiday period,’’ Botherway said. The transport agency said it was not ‘‘legally liable’’for the costs relating to revocations of warrants.
