KiA Wonderboom is a **** and a Mafia state

Kia Wonderboom is a ****, if you want peace stay away from those Mafias. Our Kia rio overheated in early August, and the car was towed to Kia Wonderboom on the 12/08/25. They said so many stories to my partner about the cos of overheating, and charged us R10600 and warranty also payed some to them. They called to say the car was ready for collection. To my surprise the car overheated 2km away from the dealership, I returned the car to them hoping for a fair service. However the nightmare began, they took us from pillar to post with their endless stories.

Out of frustration I went there to collect the car but their manager convinced me that they will sort out the issue. He made some calculations of replacing the headgasket and promised that it won't be anything more than R18500. He further charged us R3500 for stripping and quote.

To our suprise the Mafia state came back with a quote of R59201.70, where they even quoted new pistons, and their engenering alone was R26000. Like how on earth do we have to pay 26k for skimming? I decided to go again and tow the car where I payed R3500 for stripping, but to our surprise again the engine block was still in a car, so how did they quote us on a block that was never stripped and charged us 9 hours for labour, for real how can it take a mechanic full 9 hours for only taking out the top?. Wen we demanded the other parts, they said the top was by the engenering, but that top came back from engenering without being skimmed, they only cleaned the top to pretend as if it was cleaned. In summary we were charged over R70 000 for only replacing the headgasket. I've never seen this kind of a **** ever in my life.
