I will certainly come back Teresa Pallozzi2024-10-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first made contact with Osama in May. I went to him to enquire about a wheel chair access vehicle. I did buy a vehicle from interstate but not from him. I had a lot of trouble dealing with Vicroads as it was an imported vehicle, I required compliance certificate, VASS engineers report etc. I apptoached Osama again as I thought he would have good knowledge a these imported cars, etc vicroads law, regulations and requirements. Once compliance certificate requirements satisfied it was time to get RWC. Osama organised RWC, this is when the delay and issues began. The parts were very hard to source, eventually he was able to source it from Japan. It took over a month to get it etc. Osama reassured me would get the car registered he was doing his best, delays were inevitable. Once all documentation, RWC Osama and his team attended Vicroad RWC inspection appointment on my behalf. Yesterday I picked up our baby. Yep a long hard labour ...but we finally after 4 months....we are happy and thank our new friend Osama, his family and his team.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
