COLT BAKKIE NIGHTMARE AT ASH MOTORS

Please stay away from Ash, at ASH MOTORS. Our Colt Bakkie's engine blew on 24 October 2024. He spun us a long story why he needed money up front to commence the work and in good faith we paid him the R35 000. He initially told us that it would take 2 to 3 weeks to repair. 5 Months later we still sat without transport. It was excuse, after excuse, promises upon promises. We went to the Police twice, but they said they could not assist. Went to the Court to get a summons issued, they could not help us. We did not have the finance to pay an Attorney, and this guy's attitude was, "Do whatever you want to", but he clearly was not worried. We stuck to the Legal route and contacted Legal Aid, but they did not respond further after my email to them. I also contacted the Auto Ombudsman and the Consumer Council. They said they would look into it, but as yet, we have no further responses from them. I eventually, physically went and sat on the property where he works from. (He also led us to believe that he had a Workshop, turns out its in a garden). We now do have the Bakkie back, but it is not 100 %, but we are just b relieved to have back in our possession. We have learnt a HUGE lesson, and just want to warn others out there, to not go to this guy. Its a total nightmare!
