MF WORX PTY LTD

WORST EVER! BEWARE!!

In November we contacted Ryndardt (The Owner) at MF Worx in Witzenberg in order to give us a quote on installing 2 Inverters with 5KW batteries and 12 Solar panels at our 2 properties adjacent to one another on Witzenberg Game Farm. He informed us that he will go and do a site visit and get back to us with a quote which he did the very next day. Since it was over black Friday did he also encouraged us to get the equipment right away since everything was on sale. The Quote for the equipment and installation totaled R140 000. He wanted an 85% deposit and we said no way. Most we will pay is R100 000. He told us the installation would take 1 day and it was a very easy job. The inverters and batteries were ordered and THAT PART of the the installation was completed. Everything went smooth up to this point. NOW our headache started. He gave us a date that he will be over at the house to start with the mounting of the solar panels. We closed the house for a week IN DECEMBER which is a rental unit. HE DID HE NOT SHOW UP!! He also did not bother to communicate with us the reason why himself and his workers did not show up. After we chased him, he told us that he was at the hospital in Cape town and that he hurt his ankle. No problem. Things happen. He assured us the work will get done that week by Friday. Friday arrived and he was a no show again. We had to chase him AGAIN and he told us he was in Cape town for Physiotherapy. He promised that the work would get done on Monday. Monday arrived and he was no show. AGAIN we chased him and he told us that he ate something bad and that him and ALL of his workers had stomach issues. He promised he will get the work done on that Thursday. Thursday arrived and he was a no show. We chased him AGAIN and he informed us that he was on his way back from CT and that his men went to the wrong site when they were suppose to be finishing up with the solar installation at our place. Apparently was he stuck at a road blockade. He could not speak and he would call as soon as he gets back home. He did not call. I called him on Sat and told him not do the installation and that we have found someone else to finish the work. He told me that the panels were loaded on his truck and will bring them over to the house. I told him NOT to worry. I have organized for the panels to be collected from him. The person who we organized contacted him and he then started promising THIS person that he will do the install the following week. NOW we are close to XMAS and everything was shutting down. EVEN AFTER WE TOLD HIM that we are not interested in continuing ANY FURTHER business with him did he kept on persisting that he will come over and finish the job. Once AGAIN I gave him the benefit of the doubt. He told us at the end of December that he was on vacation in the Bushveld and he PROMISED that the installation will take place on Jan 4/5. AGIAN No SHOW. On Friday Jan 5 we send him a text and he told us that he was trying to get hold of his workers and had no luck. He went over to the house and started with the installation of the brackets on the roof. He also offered us a R10 000 discount which we did not accept. FURTHERMORE did he promise that the solar panels would be installed the very next day. Next day AGAIN he WAS A NO SHOW. Today is January 29 and someone else started with the installation. He advised us that the brackets on the roof are not suitable for solar installation. PLEASE save yourself the HASSLE of having to chase after ABSOLUTE UNPROFESSIONAL CONTRACTORS WITH NO WORK ETHIC WHATSOEVER. THIS GUY WILL GIVE YOU THE RUNAROUND till next year. Find someone REPUTABLE!!
