******* artist

For the second time in a week I find myself writing a review of a Cape Town company that "repairs" appliances, it seems this industry is fraught with ******* artists, ****mer and weirdos. I contacted Cape Town Appliance Repairs to come and attend to a Defy tumble-dryer that had a sticking switch. Marshly arrived driving a clapped-out car (that should have been the first warning sign) , I explained the problem and he set to work and fifteen minutes later pronounced the tumble-dryer fixed. I asked him if he had needed any parts and he said no. Then he presented me a with a bill for R 1600 for his 15 minutes of labour, a complete and utter *******, compounded by the fact that four days later the switch failed again. Stupidly I had ignored my own rule for dealing with unknown service providers and that is to first check their online reviews, if I had done so in this case I would have saved myself a lot of money. Despite his slick online presence and website( www.cptappliancerepairs.co.za) Cape Town Appliance Repairs is really nothing but a fly by night ******* artist, I suppose anyone can build a website now days and pretend to be a professional, in this case it's a one man show driving a ***** car doing ***** business. I wouldn't go near this company again (and I call it a company using the terms loosely)
