    After a few years boycotting the AA's roadside assistance program I signed up with VTNZ's new program the other day. Six months cover though with only 1 call out cost $20. Was $39 for a year with 3 call outs. Good value I thought.

    Signing up was very easy and hassle free. Could be a good little sideline for them.

    Not really - very little for sale - tiny volumes.
    Should be a good cashflow business - unless the govt changes the wof rules.
    I can't believe they had to shut the Whangarei branch. Maybe the cops don't worry about wofs up there.
    Make NZ good and great, God defend NZ.

    There's plenty of competition in the Whangarei/Northland region - apart from independent operators, VTNZ alone has two in Whangarei and another 3 or 4 around the area.

    I was going to try and buy some of these (assuming someone would sell them, which is a big if). I even signed up for a Direct Broking account as ASB does not trade unlisted shares.

    "Mr Brownlee wants to make sure the 5.5 million warrant inspections a year which cost car owners around 250 million in inspection fees, are justified."

    So much for that cash cow...

    Revenue down 50%? Maybe down only ~30%? Not sure, but not great to have on the horizon if you own VINZ.

    Though I do agree switching to a 12/24 month renewal (depending on vehicle age).
