Brought in my car for service in September, major service was then done according to them and in the service spark plugs were replaced. It’s November and my car is showing an epc light a diagnosis is performed and spark plugs must be replaced and a further diagnosis after!!! Maybe I’m crazy but spark plugs are replaced after 2-3 years. Why would you claim an item and not replace it?

PPP Workshop person reckon I must buy a new Radio when I just need a code . Then they want to charge R450 for entering it on the radio. No client service unprofessional the guy was smoking while I was asking for help. No wonder VW closed down in Middelburg.

I referred business to Bidvest McCarthy Witbank in January of 2025 and up until today my agreed spottersfee/commissions on the deal have not been paid. The agreed amount on the sale between myself and McCarthy was R20 000 for 2 New Crafter busses. After the deal was concluded they said they can only pay R10 000 of the agreed R20 000, i was infuriated but eventually agreed yo that and STILL no payment has been made by them. This is absolutely unacceptable behaviour from such a large group!!!

We were sold a damaged car that was in an accident,and is currently falling apart and still under finance. We had raised the issue with the salesman,Linda Sekwa and we were dismissed. The car has been faulty, and now in bad condition. We took the car in to another garage,and we were told everything in the car was not original and the car was in an accident and has been put together. The manager Zenzele Nceswa also dismissed our complaints and told the car is fine. We are tired of paying our hard earned money for a car that is bad.

Made the mistake of trusting them to supply us with Vw Crafter Panel Vans. The vehicles had to be converted to ambulances for a well established company in Gauteng. Almost lost a R30 Million contract due to Fred van Der Merwe and his superiors lying about delivery time, Conversion time, Cost and fees that they agreed to settle ect. Fooled by all their promises, I paid the money for the first few vehicles which was not available as mentioned, and so endless problems started. Fred van der Merwe started ignoring my calls and I had to drive through a week later to check on any progress. The Panel Vans was not delivered to Angelo Kater as confirmed by him two days prior. Had to hear the duration for conversions would take up to 3 weeks longer than he promised. Have made contact with his Head of department, and the lady promised she would ask him to return from leave to address the issues. Until this day she did not even have the decency to provide a solution or feedback. Have decided to not deal with them any further regarding more vehicle purchases and services. Lindsay Saker group has stepped up and are willing to assist me in this regard. Still however have to phone Fred and his superiors on a daily basis to get my funds from them that was agreed to be paid, and they are still playing cat and mouse games. Disgusted with the way Bidvest McCarthy VW Witbank treats clients and continue to do so.

I traded in my card on the 6th of Jan 2025 I was assisted by Ivyn Nkosi. They requested a settlement letter with the previous institution which was supposed to be settled, and I will continue with the current installment. To my surprise a debit order went off from my account when I enquired with my previous financial institution, they confirmed that the account is still active and there wasn't any settlement. I have been in touch with the sales consultant Ivyn Nkosi he has decided not to pick up my calls not even reply on my wats app. Does this mean I will pay for two cars which I DONT EVEN AFFORD. and the car is not even with me. This has affected me financially and emotionally.

Bad service, and they post cars on their website, that they do not actually have available.
