Beware of Unapproved service providers.

I recently had a very unpleasant and expensive experience with a local vehicle repairer A.J.S Auto Service Centre. (Shallcross moving Township to old AG’s sweet warehouse location) After quoting me an amount for over R10 000 and insisting on 50% deposit this Very Christian father (Anthony) and son duo proceeded to immobilize my vehicle claiming they were getting parts from Johannesburg. After 5 weeks of “wrong part supplied”, I requested the return of my vehicle only to be insulted, bullied, accused of being rude for interrupting their lunch and threatened with additional charges to be tacked onto me bill. Even after agreeing to pay the monies demanded, I was told it would take another week to assemble the vehicle with no repairs done. It was only through a third-party mechanic, I was able to get my vehicle assembled and repaired by replacing 2 fuses, then vehicle was driven away. Being born in Chatsworth and now living in Johannesburg, I try my best to spend my money with Indian business in my home town but after this experience I have serious doubts on doing this again. Please alert you family and friends to be cautious and only use RMI approved dealers.
