High Tech Turbo in Malvern, Jhb HIGHLY RECOMMEND
This company is amazing. Service is excellent from Workshop manager James. They repaired my leaking turbo on my 2012 Meredes E250 in Jan 2025 Today after 8 months I took the car back as another leak has started. I assumed it was the turbo again. High Tech Turbo put the car on the lift and discovered leak is not coming from turbo but the engine sump gasket is leaking badly. No charge and I can get my normal repaid garage to replace the sump seal. Everyone at High Tech Turbo are so friendly and obliging.

Highly recommended - U have a customer for life!
Excellent service. The owner, Hayden was most helpful, identifying issues that were beyond the scope of turbo repair. Very ethical. I could have ended up paying a lot more if I went elsewhere.

"Sorry we don't have an Invoice for you Sir"
High Tech Turbo is a disaster waiting to fleece you. They slapped me with a jaw-dropping R20K bill to “fix” a flap on my BMW’s turbo wastegate, but good luck getting an invoice or any breakdown of the so-called work to justify that insane cost. They held my car hostage, barking threats like “pay the deposit now or come yank your car out immediately” with zero professionalism. Abusive, evasive, and downright shady, they couldn’t explain why the FEM, (which they first claimed was “not working”) magically became “fine” after I questioned them. Sketchy doesn’t even cover it. Confusion and mismanagement run rampant here, and whatever they did to my turbo sure as hell wasn’t worth R20K. Now I’m forced to drag the Ombudsman into this mess to claw back my money. Save yourself the headache—avoid High Tech Turbo like the plague, or proceed with extreme caution if you’re desperate. Don't say I didn't warn you. Below is my response to their feedback High Tech Turbo’s response misrepresents the facts and sidesteps accountability. Their initial quote which I can provide, itemized R19,000 plus worth of work 80% of which was either unnecessary or not performed. Total Invoice value was R28K. The final repair was an engineering of the wastegate flap costing R1,850, yet they retained my full R19,000 deposit, refusing to issue a revised quote / invoice reflecting the actual work. This contradicts their claim of completing the job “under budget,” as the budget was inflated with irrelevant tasks like the FEM unit replacement (quoted at R9,850), which they later admitted was functional after my expert challenged their diagnosis. The vehicle was operational when dropped off, and the prior turbo repair by another provider was sufficient, High Tech Turbo’s additional work was redundant and overpriced. Their insistence on an immediate 70% deposit, under threat of withholding my car, forced my compliance, NOT agreement to their terms. I believe according to my expert that a refund of ca. R15,000 is due to me as there is no evidence justifying the high cost of the work which exposes their lack of transparency and integrity. I respectfully request a refund of R15,000 by March 18, 2025, or I will no choice but to escalate this to the Ombudsman and pursue legal action, including HTT court costs. High Tech Turbo’s attempt to discredit me fails against the evidence of an inflated invoice, an unnecessary FEM claim retracted under scrutiny, and their refusal to document the actual work performed.

BRILLIANT SERVICE FROM HIGH TECH TURBO IN MALVERN, JHB
A very professional bunch of guys. In my case, the oil leak from the twin-turbo on our 2012 Merc E250 CDI was only WORN seals on the Boost pipe. Frankly, they could have told me a long story but were honest. They provided a full system diagnostic report. Even though they are an hour drive away, its worth it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIGH TECH TURBO
