Lack of client satisfaction
I strongly advise anyone considering using this company against it. I took my car to them to check my car's faulty AC system. Over the years I've gotten into the habit of standing by but not interfering while my cars are attended to. All fitment centers such as this one allow owner standby as long as one doesn't interfere. This place doesn't allow one to stand by. Before they even started working on my car I was told to leave the floor. I than took my car and left them. I should have taken note of all the bad reviews of this business before even considering them.

DO NOT GO TO THIS BUSINESS!
I would actually give this place a full 0, this is the worst place in the world to take your vehicle to, overcharged us R1800 more then they quoted us, i ended up driving home in the middle of the night with NO BRAKE LIGHTS! My hazards keeps on going off, where there wasnt such a problem they told us we will have our car back within 2 days we waited a week! Went back with all the problems now they want to charge us again for stuff they had done to my car! This is utterly ridiculous and not acceptable at all! Its sick really how greedy these guys are! Very disappointed!

Avoid, car received in worse condition
(Copied from my google review) I have just had a highly detrimental experience with this establishment and ask that others avoid entirely. To summarize, I brought my little toaster on wheels in for a simple re-gas but was unknowingly upgraded to their diagnostics package (lucky me?), which would have raised some red flags at most other places, however, how could 4.3 stars from 146 Google reviews(at time of writing this) be wrong. Well, I would love to know what everyone else is taking, seriously hit me up, because you would have to be off your rocker and getting high of some four dimensional narcotic to have the wool pulled this easily over your eyes. Or on clinically insane, I mean that'll work too. I was told that the evaporator was leaking, sure, happy to believe that, sounds like a super likely thing to happen. But then I was told it be around 5k to stick a new one in, excluding the part itself, and though that might be a fair dinkum price, I did not have a fair dinkum reaction. After rolling around from financial agony on the floor, #covidproblems, I very quickly decided I would rather roast my backside for a few months and get it sorted at a later time. Queue an "Ok, not an issue, if you find an evaporator soon you can bring it in and we can fit it", sure, only way that happens soon is if I start walking the streets at looking to make a few extra. Upon receiving my little beat up back, I quickly began rushing home to continue providing for my existence as I had a bunch of work to get done for that evening, that's when as I rounded on my turn home I thought, oh I should stick the fan on for a little, no ac but couldn't hurt to blast my face for some small comfort. Rumbling, and rattling, my car began shouting a song of violence and audible pain, I shut the thing off and noticed that my fan filter was now sitting on the floor of my passenger seat, kinda busted. I am no Sherlock, but putting two and two together I figured something definitely didn't go right. I sat the evening infuriated, barely losing sleep over it, I mean, if they could diagnose my car into new problems for R 575 surely they can un-diagnose it into being how it was before. And this is where I need to be a little more serious in letting other potentials know. They would not acknowledge that the car was in worse condition than when I left it with them. They told me the noise was now a result of dirt in the fan as a result of the air filter getting caught in it. I also saw their workshop technician attempt sleight of hand with some foreign object that he had "found" in the fan that had now possibly caused damage? And then the audacity to attempt to sell me on to clean it for a figure close to 3k in removing the dashboard again, which was done in order to "diagnose" whatever bizarre issue they were chasing in the first place. I have spoke to a few people far more knowledgeable than myself in this, and have clearly heard that they are operating with what sounds like an almost complete misunderstanding of how any of these components work or how to fix them effectively and within any reasonable cost. Do not go here to have your aircon fixed, unless you have some kind of fetish for getting swindled.

Independent Car Radio & Aircon in Zwartkop, Centurion are DISHONEST
Unfortunate to say these people are very dishonest. My aircon 'working. I took my car to them, they put gas and told me to go back a week later to check for a leak. I didn't go back. After a month I was without a aircon again and I went back. They said the first time I took the car to them they only filled gas and didn't check for any leaks. They checked air con and told me there was a leak in the discharge pipe which would need to be fixed. The quote was about R2500. I then went to another company, I told them I had a leak and how much would it be to fix. They told me there was no leak. They put gas and 4 months later I still have air con. I am furious with Independent Car Radio & Aircon in Zwartkop, Centurion. The first time I took my car to them they obviously put a small amount of gas in, knowing that it would only last a month and I would be back. Disgusting how companies like this take people for a ride. If I had the money I would have paid R2500 for dishonesty

They broke my car
I took my car in for a sound system. After a few days the radio just stopped working. When I took it back they said it's the cheap speakers they put in and I must pay an extra R500 for other speakers. As if Prima Facie does not exist. This already made me angry and this owner swear to God that I did not request a specific way of installing my alarm. They did some test pointing on my car as well as I took it for the radio and alarm system the same day. Now there is problems with my electrical on my car and again it's not them, now suddenly they say someone tried to steal my car and shorted wires. What a bull of crap, there is always and not sometimes somebody at our vehicle. We carry a lot of equipment in the car and can not let it stand alone although it is always parked inside customers yard behind locked gates in estates. I wonder today how they are going to explain the stripped wires found on my car....., They provide false reports for insurance claims.
