GMC auto Beaufort West is a fraudulent company.The owner uses great adverts to gain trust but in reality this is a scam.Claude Gouws is a ruthless criminal who takes money from vulnerable people on the national road.He owns no tow truck.He sent out a man with some beatup old isuzu bakkie to tow the vehicle.The people who work for him are unkept and dirty.You can see they are druggies.My uncle had him tow his vehicle to Cpt and upon arrival we found Claude or his drug addicts had stolen out the battery.

Stay away! A big crook! This man lies a lot and always robs drivers on the road, he knows nothing about cars, trucks and busses. Hlala kude! Isikhohlakali esikhulu! Lo mlisa uqamba amanga kakhulu futhi uhlala egebenga abashayeli emgwaqeni, akazi lutho ngezimoto, amaloli namabhasi. Bly weg! 'n Groot skurk! Hierdie man lieg baie en beroof altyd bestuurders op die pad, hy weet niks van karre, trokke en busse nie.

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT use this man's services, he is a FRAUDSTER. I got stuck next to the road on the 30th of December with a CV joint that came loose. After reading his reviews and the worst decision ever I got hold of Claude who sent out his "mechanics" to assist. They checked and said they had to go get bolts at the workshop and they can just fasten it. After taking 6 hours to "fasten" my CV joint they said my car is fine and I will reach Joburg and drive with it well after that. I was told by Claude it will cost R1500 for the job, I will have to follow his mechanics to an ATM to draw the money. When following these people I could feel that this job was not done properly as my car shook and rattled and shuddered. Stopping at atm I told the "mechanic" that this car is not right, he started blaming everything from wheel alignment to steering rack. I drew R1000 and said to them that I will not pay any more because this job I will have to have redone the next town over. Claude sent me a message saying "do you really think you can run away with my money *****". Needless to say, I did not get 2km further that I initially got stuck at when the cv came loose again. This time there was horrible noise and a big puddle of gearbox fluid under my car. Claude himself came out to check and said it's because I tried swindeling him out of his money that this happened. He said he will have to replace the cv inner and outer together with the shaft. Towed my car to his house w(his mechanics helped themselves to the cigarettes in my car) arranged with a friend in his complex for me for accommodation while he fixes my car properly. The car stood for 9 full days while he was "looking" for cv joints for my car. Still staying at his friends place he also started realizing that nothing is happening by claude and it is all empty promises. He phoned his brother in law who came to fetch my car on a trailer and took it to his workshop. Koos got cv's the next day and no shaft was needed but he phoned and said there is a big hole in my gearbox so now I had a bigger problem. Claude went to that workshop and checked as I was expecting him to pay for the damage to the gearbox which he gave me plenty stories why it is not his fault. Told me I needed a new gearbox. Was busy "looking" for one just like the cv's and I eventually had to again help myself as it was day 13 already being stuck in Beaufort. I got to Gavin Rule at GP AUTO AND TOWING who came to fetch me by Claude's friend and took me to his house with his wife and they accommodated me while Gavin sorted out my gearbox and cv and got me back on the road with no further issues. Claude says on his website his "mechanics" are qualified. THEY ARE NOT, they are family members who he is helping out and by Claude's own admission they are TIK users. The DRIVER knows more about cars than the so called "mechanic". My whole stay in Beaufort and everyone I spoke to said that unfortunately I have run into the most dishonest and fraudulent person IN THE WHOLE OF BEAUFORT and that Claude has been locked up several times for fraud. I can see why. This man will cost you money and leave you with a bigger problem than you initially had. I had to give 1 star but would minus a lot if I could. This guy does not even have a workshop, he works from his house. #carteblanche

Hi wonder if you'll be able to accept my post of unfair charges to a breakdown I occured last week in three sisters,I found GMC AUTO on Google so contacted a guy by the name of Claude my truck center bearing on the propshaft collapsed when I engaged Claude he said I should put in R2500 so he could go and see what was wrong with the truck as he is from Beaufort west,The next day he said to me that he needs to replace the propshaft as the bearing melted onto the propshaft and needed to get it balanced and so Forth so he billed me an additional R10700 which I had to pay before he could do anything to the shaft,only once the truck came to Johannesburg I realised that the propshaft was originally mine and the only thing what was changed was the centre bearing,in all fainess a Center bearing could never amount to that money please post this up so other innocent transporters don't have to get ripped off the way I got ripped off by GMC AUTO,Claude his number is 0784667914 I haven't even been sent a tax invoice till now he kept saying he was out on the road and will send it soon as his at the office
