Based on recent customer reviews, CTM delivers a strongly positive in-store experience driven by named staff at the East London, Queenstown, Alberton, and Ballito branches. Customers repeatedly praise speed, patience, and product guidance from sales assistants. However, the picture is very different for online orders, delivery, warranty claims, and product quality, where customers report serious failures, slow refunds, and unresponsive head office support.
