My car is out of Motorplan so for the first time I had to service outside dealer. I booked with August Auto Repair based in Roodepoort. I explained that I live almost 60km away and that I would have to be back home by lunch to be able to fetch my child from school as per daily routine. They agreed and booked me. I was there early around 8:30. August came after 9 and assured me all will be taken care of. Hao, my car stood there unattended and around 11 I started getting agitated and asked what’s going on. Was told August went to buy parts (this was not even discussed with me). After 11:30 I then started getting upset cos my car is still standing and now I am panicking about being back home to fetch child. This August guy arrived around 12 and hurried does whatever to the car for like 20 minutes then demands full payment and by then I’m not even convinced that the “major service” I came for was really done to the right standard. Well I’m now blocked from their page which really makes me wonder if this August who is Zimbabwean ****med me or what? I so regret going there, do not be fooled by reviews -he probably pays for those. What is the reason for blocking me? It’s so that I I never share my experience and his clients never get to see any negative comments about the business. But the truth is he did me dirty!!!! I now have to make plans to take car elsewhere for re-service.
<p>I am so ticked off. On the 1st September 2016 I went to buy a charger at the Menlyn Mall for R349. As we speak I am literally without a charger for the past 3 days because it doesn't work. And I notice today a wire is slight coming off at the tip. I would expect this is I bought from a Pakistani cellphone shop. But Vodacom, I am really shocked and livid. And it pains me that I can't find the receipt, but I paid with my card so sure I have bank statement proof. But maybe your assistance can be helpful Hellopeter. I so regret not buying from Istore. Someone I know bought his from Cell C and the quality is super.
