I've seen curbing that loks worse than the dent in your rim.. have you considered trying another mechanics shop for your WOF??

I was failed on my handbrake & boot lock (for some weird reason) on my wof on the 190 Merc. went down the road and they passed it fine. Sometimes shops just want to get cash out of you and make money buying in parts, labour etc.

Didn't think you could do that? Otherwise any repair over $45 that could be over-looked would just = going down the road to the next wof shop!?

I'm pretty sure you can't do that either, once you are failed on something it is logged into the LTSA computer so you can't just cruise around till you find someone who will pass you.

I've heard that they are getting tougher on bent rims, at least its only a bottle cap.

Totally 100% true - blame computers!
