I am so ****ed off

On August 25, 2023, we took the car to Jeorge's panelbeating in Midrand. He asked for money to buy parts plus 50% of the labour. He then said the job would be completed in a week, as the car was just damaged at the back. A week went by, and my car was still not fixed. On the second week, he requested another amount for parts, which I felt was ridiculous, as when a client brings a car to you, you assess the whole thing and then tell your client what is needed. I deposited the money even though I was not happy. We are now in the fourth week, and the car is still not complete. I had to look for another mechanic because he ruined my car. Right now, my car is not drivable; there is smoke coming out; it can't be reversed; it has stains of paint; and he poured oil, which is not correct for my car.

Like, I am so ****ed. Imagine forking out $20,000 for your car to look as good as new, but it comes back worse than when it was taken to the panelists. Like, my car just needed panel beating, not machanic.

He removed my battery to say it did not start. I was shocked because my car had been parked for almost 3 weeks without being moved, and it was taken to the insurance panellist to be fixed. It had no problems, and it was even driven from that company to him with no issues, but when it got to them, suddenly the car couldn't move.

****ed off is an understatement.

I would advise other clients to get a paper, as right now I only have proof of payments.

No agreement was signed with this stupid panellist that is run by a drunkard who drinks during working hours and overpromises yet does not deliver.
