Why Some Dealers Ban Incar Automotive: A Closer Look

If you’re curious about why Incar Automotive has been banned from numerous dealerships, you’re not alone.

As a qualified Automotive Mechanical Engineer with 29 years of experience, the inspection process at Incar Automotive is known for being exceptionally thorough and accurate.

The inspections prioritize safety, with all aspects of the vehicle checked against the VIRM (Vehicle Inspection Requirements Manual), which outlines New Zealand’s Warrant of Fitness (WoF) standards.

This focus on stringent standards and detailed assessments often leads to uncomfortable situations for some dealerships, as many may not meet the level of scrutiny applied during inspections.
