WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN NOT DO
The GVM, GCM and BTC can all be upgraded in Tasmania and Hobart however the BTC can only be upgraded pre registration. This means your vehicles upgrade must be completed before your dealer registers your vehicle. GVM,GCM upgrades can be completed post registration how ever it is a little bit more expensive as engineering and a modification plate is required. We do this as part of our service.
​
A common mistake we see that cost customers thousands of dollars is purchasing a GVM Upgrade and being informed their is not option with a GCM increase available when they need it. Its important to make sure your getting a upgrade that suits your needs and use.
