I found their sticker on my gate motor and called them when I had problems with my gate closing. They gave me a quote for R2850 to replace the beams. (On further investigation I found the beams online for R850) .I queried the price as it was unaffordable for me and asked if he could discount the price. The gent explained that he is the "Woolworths" of his industry and that I would find cheaper people to do the work. But he offered a superior service and he had travelled from Germiston to Northcliff to help me. I explained that I didn't know where he was based but his sticker was on my gate motor so I presumed he was based in the area. I said the price was too high and I couldn't accept his quote. He then advised he charged R380 for a consultation. I asked what he consulted on as we already knew what was wrong and had told him what the problem was. I asked why he hadn't let me know he charged a call out fee. He said he didn't run his business from his backyard and he didn't pitch up on his bicycle and he had to pay toll fees etc and he came from Germiston. I said if he provided a reasonable quote then I would have accepted it. The discussion became quite heated and when I refused to pay the consultation fee he refused to leave the property. I asked for an invoice so that I could check his credentials. I noticed that there wasn't an address, a vat number, nor a registration number. I then looked for other quotes. I found one for R1250 and accepted that one instead.
