Gearbox Exchange Centre Benoni

Be very very careful when going to gearbox exchange centre in Kempston Avenue Benoni. We took our bakkie there for a strip and quote on the gearbox. Got a call back from Tony the owner to say the vehicle was ready and the bill is R4400.00. When we queried as to why so much for a strip and quote, he told us, "sorry, he went to the doctor and when he got back his guys had done a full service on the gearbox, repaired the clutch and diff". Now we are expected to pay for something we did not ask for or authorise. He has our vehicle and in order to get it back, we have to pay. It has been my experience in business practice that when a company or workers in that company make an error, or cause damage, it is the company that picks up the bill, not the customer. This is very sad coming from a business that we have delt with for many many years, but wil never again.
