Be prepared to be without your vehicle for ages

Booked in my bakkie with them 3months ago to replace head gasket, a job they told me would take a week, one month later after me having to run after them weekly and not 1 phonecall. I then got a sms to say my bakkie was ready,the injectors now also replaced. Bill R15000. 2 days later I phone them to say my bakkie is loosing water,adding 2l daily Get it back and it is still loosing water,back it goes,They then tell me they would like to keep as it seems the head has gone again. A week goes by,no phonecall. They then let me know a week later after I have to phone them that they will now strip the engine. Freek SNR the owner, then lets me know after I phone him after another 2 days that 2 of the pistons have seized due to a problem with the injectors or the motor overheating.i then tell him that they replaced the injectors, that the overheating was after 2 days and is not my fault.He then goes on holiday for 2 weeks.<br> He then goes on holiday, leaving my vehicle until he gets back 2 weeks later. Long story short, I phone them everyweek for 2 months, and I finally get my bakkie back with a R13 000 bill.BAD service, No communication.BAD Mechanic. Day light robbery
