I am the sole owner of Kingtek Motorcycles,Andrew King,and i am adding this review to inform the BMW Motorcycle community in Cape Town of the situation regarding my business relocation.Due to unforseen family circumstances,my wife and i needed to close our businesses in December 2017 and move to KZN.I informed my 2 staff members,months before the time and gave them the option to relocate with the business.Tapiwa (Assistant) declined as he had family in Cape Town.Innocent Charuaya (Technician) spoke to his family and agreed to relocate to KZN under his own free will.All preparations (Moving everything,nothing was sold) were made and the business closed on the 23rd of December 2017.On the last day of packing (23rd) at mid day,Innocent very suddenly informed me that he was resigning from the business.He left immediately and messaged me later in the day demanding i pay him a retrenchment package.I had already paid his next months salary in full in lue of his relocation with the business.I was travelling the next day.Within a few weeks of being in KZN,i found out that Innocent had resigned only to start as a mechanic at Bike Mania (a week before i left i went into bike mania to ask Marco if he had any positions in his workshop avaiIable for Tapiwa,but he said NO).I started receiving phone calls from customers asking why they were receiving phone calls,emails and messages from Bike mania and Marco,the owner,Saying they now service and repair BMW motorcycles with all the diagnostic equipment,manuals,specs etc (the words "invested in BMW Diagnostic equipment as well as necessary service specifications" is used in the messages to customers,there is also a discussion on the BMW Club cape website about this).Innocent and Marco have worked together to illegally procure the interlectual property of Kingtek Motorcycles.This includes innocent copying my complete computer customer base as well as my RSD BMW manuals while i was out on business erands.That is the only way Bike mania would have had access to any of my customer files and manuals.Bike Mania is using this information to further there business interests.Due to being so far away i have not pursued this matter as i have been very busy reopening Kingtek Motorcycles in Durban from February 2018.I would like to apologize to any and all of my Cape Town customers and the biking community for this unfortunate confusion and to warn them of this situation.I would suggest a bike shop with integrity and honesty to service your BMW Motorcycle in the future.
