******** practices, exorbitant prices

They went out to fix a leaking valve at my apartment in joburg CBD. They did the job before sending me the invoice. Once they had completed the repairs they sent the invoice and I was called and badgered to make payment immediately. The job was overpriced; they charged R178 for an item that costs R70 to R100 and they charged me R1780 for labour and travel (to and from Johannesburg South). They completely took away my right to make an informed decision about which company I would use to fix the issue and they charged me exorbitant prices. I don’t think it’s lawful to demand payment (especially under those circumstances) on the same day. I have laid a complaint with the relevant authorities because they are operating against the consumer protection act. Please do not use them. You can see their ratings on Hello Peter and they don’t even bother to respond to the complaints.
