My car broke down near Clanwilliam due to overheating. CMB Motors was called by my insurance and they towed the car to their premises and assured me that they could fix the vehicle, and informed me that the overheating was caused by a broken pipe. I paid over R11 000 for them to repair my car but when I took delivery of the vehicle 2 weeks later, it overheated again whilst driving back to Cape Town. I returned it to them with the view that they needed to fix it properly, having obviously not fixed the cause of the problem initially and given I had paid them a lot of money. They told me that it would cost another R9 000 for them to fix the car (claiming that this time it was a faulty radiator cap which caused the overheating). When I declined the quote, the refused to release my car into my possession unless I paid them the costs of them towing the vehicle the second time. I have reported the matter to the Motor Vehicle Industry Ombudsman and am awaiting an outcome of the case. I would not recommend this vehicle repair company to anyone.
