First order was delivered. Second order only recieved one of three products ordered after a month. No reply from them. It seems they cant keep up with orders and just keep taking money for products they don't have in stock so at this point it's a *****ulent establishment that stole R1700 from me.

The faults had nothing to do with the engine work, since when does skid and kick down have anything to do with a engine control. I was willing to help but if he does not remove this review I will be reporting my engine in his vehicle as stolen on Monday morning.

Guarantee 1 year or 25 000 kms" Waldinho Waldinho 17 reviews·1 photo 9 minutes ago NEW Wayne from recon enjines is the biggest bull****ter I've come across in my life. He took my vehicle and R25 000 and promised me it would take three weeks. After 4 months he was still spinning me a different story every week. When I eventually was notified to collect my vehicle I met wayne at the yard and he promised me the car was making lank power. He showed me pictures of the car on a dyno but could not provide a dyno sheet(odd). In my face he told me they tested the car just before I collected it. Driving with the car it was 100% exactly the same like it was before I took it to recon enjines. Can't rev up,does not make power and keeps cutting out. Even his invoice is BS. There is no mention of the parts that were replaced on the motor it just says recon. Ja right. The enjin block is covered in oil. On the invoice he charged me R5000 for electronics but none of the electronics are working. Oil pressure guage not working. Temp guage not working. Speedo not working. Rev limiter not working. There are open wires hanging on the driver side. R35 000 down the drain. These guys are crooks. Stay away.
My bakkies diff broke. It was sent to mayfair gearbox. I paid R22 000 and recieved my bakkie back. 5 days later it broke AGAIN. It was at this point where I realized that there was a different diff than my original in my bakkie. It was collected and a few days later I was told by a gentlemen named Deon that the sideshaft was broken and that I would have to pay R3600 for it to be repaired UNDER WARRANTY! They refused to cover the costs under warranty as apparently from Deons point of view it was due to hard acceleration and it was my fault. I asked them where my original diff was and was told that it was repaired and sold. My question is why was it not repaired and put back in my bakkie? I was forced to pay the R3600 before they would deliver my bakkie and told by Deon that I was only being charged for the parts and not for labour. This I found to have been a lie as when I recieved my bakkie and the invoice I saw that I had in fact been charged for labour. After this terrible experience I drove my bakkie with absolute care to not ever practice "hard acceleration" as they put it. But alas a week ago the sideshaft broke again. A lady by the name of Claudia booked it to be collected on the thursday. It was not collected. I called her friday and was told she was sorry she booked it but never followed up. It was collected on friday. I have been trying since monday to speak to someone to see what they are going to do to fix this situation. I have been promised a million times to be contacted by some sort of manager to no avail. Nobody takes any responsibility at this company. I am now suffering a great loss of income because it is my work vehicle. Legal action will ensue if I continue to get zero feedback and have to incur any further costs.
On wednesday afternoon the 15th of December I spoke to Yolanda from Lisa Bank. I was very interested in a vehicle and she told me that I can book the car while I get my funds in order to make a cash purchase. I was told the car would be kept for me for 3(three) days and I paid the R2000 deposit. On friday morning around 9am(15th December) I recieved a call from Richard who is the manager. He apologized and told me they sold the car and would refund my deposit. Not only is it bad business ethic but it is now the 19th and I have not been refunded my deposit. Richard is not in the office and conveniently only managers can refund deposits.
