Eldan Auto Body - Pathetic service.

On 3 October 2024, my wife's 20 year old car got sideswiped in Sandton. It ended up at Eldan Auto Body in Pretoria West. Initially I dealt with Shaun who promised me that they were not allowed to put 2nd hand, non genuine safety critical parts on the car's mechanicals. We eventually got the car returned to us 11 November 2024. within 2 weeks the "replaced" wheel bearing started to make a noise and the car had a vibration. Of course they were now already closed for the Festive Season. Since the new year I have tried on several occasions to reach Eldan by phone, to no avail. I eventually resorted to taking the right front wheel off myself, only to find that the R5000+ "NEW" parts quoted for were replaced with old greasy defective parts and conveniently hidden behind the brake disk. They probably only paid R100 for the part. I would not trust them to fix a bicycle chain and I hope that the Motoring Ombudsman has or will soon close them down. I will also be requesting Outsurance to remove Eldan from their contracted panel beaters listing. I have subsequently been forced to replace all the parts that were supposed to have been fitted in the first place, myself at less than their quoted price. This company is staffed by *****sters!!! You will place your own life in danger if you ever use them. Don't believe the few 5 star ratings on Hellopeter. Also *****sters.
