Taxi meter re programming

[Rat Catcher]

As far as I recall they only gave us a ton. Total cost for me is about €165, €75 programming and €90 odd sealing.

[Vikkiz]

My reprogramming was €50, add in reseal and it's  €136.10.

The original Oct bank holiday MyTaxi Bobo offer was fer them to pay fer our taxi meter verification (re-seal) if we completed the 20 job Bobo offer on at least Two nights over that weekend. That offer did not include reprogramming (recalibrating).

But that was changed and instead they gave us 90Euro in cash on the next statement.

The cost of verification (re-seal) by Legal Meterology is 86.10.

It makes ye wonder why SDA/Mechanic 24 are charging €75 when they probably have the majority of taxi driver using them as their meter suppliers....simply gouging i suppose.

[Vikkiz]

Couldn't agree more Hal. Rip Off Ireland still alive and well. 

[Rat Catcher]

To be fair, it's hard to beat SDA for service... both of us lost 10/15 mins, Hal.

Conversely... I'm told Tetas mirror meters can be reprogrammed from Thurs at Scan ATM, open 7am - 7pm, first come first served, €75.

I think that the Tetas might be accessible without removing the seal.I'll go in March when the queue dies down.

[Rat Catcher]

The info on the seal changes, give it 10 or 12 years and the enforcement team will catch up with you. You won't be happy when you get a €40 fine!

[mercenary for hire]

Ah ok they probably have it flagged on the system too if it doesn't get resealed.

[Rat Catcher]

Logically they should know about every meter that's reprogrammed from installers submitting a copy of each green form. Hence they should be able to advise Revenue where drivers (appear to) have two meters in one car. However, we live in Ireland... as anyone that got Mortgage Interest Relief at source knows, the left hand and the right hand operate in autonomy.

[Rat Catcher]

Just to remind myself that we live in Ireland I rang the meter seal crowd for an appointment. Calling it a shambles is being generous. I'm told they have nothing available but I'm on a priority list (despite my advising them that all I need is a reference number, explaining that priority is neither here nor there as I'm in no panic) for Ballymount. Apparently they're not doing them in Ballymun at all. The operator did advise me to note her name and the date/time as all calls are logged so, presumably, transcripts will be available should it prove necessary to demonstrate their incompetence to a judge on foot of a summons...

Wheres Ballymount?

It must be out southside somewhere is it.
