AVOID AT ALL COSTS: Worst Automotive Experience Ever Motorflux (formerly MTV AutoGroup) - A Complete Disaster

I'm writing this review to warn others about my horrific experience with Motorflux, previously known as MTV AutoGroup. What started as routine maintenance in 2023 turned into a nightmare that cost me thousands and nearly destroyed my vehicle. The Downward Spiral Initially, I was satisfied with their work from 2023. However, everything went wrong when my vehicle started smoking from the exhaust in September 2024. Since they had previously worked on my turbo, engine timing, cylinder head, and replaced crankshafts, I naturally returned to them for repairs. That's when I discovered their incompetence: the crankshafts they had installed had ridges, and there were issues with the cylinder head they had "repaired" in May 2024. These were parts THEY had replaced! Unprofessional Management and Internal Chaos During my ordeal, I learned that the directors (Leeto, Mofihli, and Veli) were splitting up the business. The staff revealed shocking details about director Leeto's unprofessional conduct: * Failing to pay employees (causing resignations) * *****ING AND SELLING MY CAR BATTERY to another customer * Wasting business funds on personal trips to Cape Town instead of fixing customer vehicles * Failing to pay rent (resulting in eviction from their premises) The Outsourcing Disaster In February 2025, Leeto sent my vehicle to Leps AutoWorx without proper communication. My car sat there for months because Motorflux couldn't even pay the required deposit. Eventually, Leps AutoWorx told them to collect the vehicle since they failed to pay. The Botched "Repair" Job When I finally got my car back on September 19th, 2025, after paying R11,500, I was horrified by the condition: Major Mechanical Issues: * Check engine light permanently on * Fan runs constantly (even on cold starts) * Engine timing completely off * Massive oil leak making the car undriveable * Engine misfiring on cylinder one * Multiple new dashboard error messages Theft and Damage: * Stole my original battery (replaced with inferior one) * Stole my gearbox oil level dipstick * Stole both front fender liners * Various scratches and damage to vehicle body Impossible to Reach, No Accountability After discovering these issues, I tried contacting them but: * Phone goes straight to voicemail * Promised to deliver replacement fender liners - never happened * Refused to provide invoice for work performed * Complete avoidance of responsibility Financial Impact I've had to hire a new mechanic to diagnose and repair all the damage they caused. The diagnostic revealed numerous errors that weren't present before their "service." I'm essentially paying twice - once for their botched work and again for proper repairs. RMI Approval Concerns I'm baffled how they maintain RMI approval while allegedly making false claims to InnovationGroup Policies and failing to deliver promised services. Final Warning DO NOT USE MOTORFLUX/MTV AUTOGROUP. You will: * Pay premium prices for substandard work * Have your vehicle damaged or parts ****** * Deal with unprofessional, ********* management * Spend more money fixing their mistakes than your original problem cost * Have zero recourse when things go wrong Save yourself the heartache and financial loss - find a reputable workshop elsewhere. This business operates with no integrity, professionalism, or competence. Update: They are now located in Krugersdorp after being evicted from their previous location for non-payment of rent.
