NEVER take your car to Mobile clinic Benoni. The owner Heinrich is a big crook. He will smooth talk you and promise cheaper quote and eventually try to rip you off.
I called him asking them for diagnosis and he suggested I bring my car to them. He then talked me into doing a strip and quote of which I have explained to him my budget and the quote I already had from previous mechanic. He assured me whatever was wrong with the car will not cost that much and that the problem with my car is not that serious.
He then told me to pay R3 000 to strip and quote the car. It was on Friday and promised me a quote not later than following Monday. He never called on Mon until I called him on Tue. He then told me they are still busy stripping. The following day he sent me videos and pictures of my engine telling me there is a lot of work to be done. I insisted on a formal quote to know what exactly needed to be fixed.
He ten sent me a quote of R34 000 WHEREAS THE 1ST MECHANIC QUOTED ME R18 000. I had to fetch my car since I did explained to him that my budget was too tight and I couldn't accept R18 000.
When I collected my car the engine was into pieces and most parts in the boot. The car is leaking oil everywhere. I doubt I will find another mechanic to put it together even if I get the part. This mean I should buy a new engine.
PLEASE GOOD PEOPLE NEVER EVER TAKE YOUR CAR TO MOBILE CLINIC BENONI. THEY ARE CROOKS.
