Honest and reliable DHL Motors, Durban
Based in Umbilo, Durban, DHL Motors were recommended to me on a FB review 2 years ago for servicing and general motor vehicle repairs and maintenance. I have had nothing but good and most importantly, HONEST service from Darryl (Owner) and his team. He is hands-on and always willing to assist, has a friendly and approachable disposition, and does not rip one off with exorbetent charges. I have recommended friends to him and they are equally satisfied. One person has spent tens of thousands on repairing his Citi Golf, and has always had come-backs, and once taken to DHL Motors, and East Coast Electrical (sharing adjacent premises) all past issues were resolved. Highly recommend them.

Auto and General insurance sucks
A friend who is insured with Auto and General was on his way from Scottburgh to Durban yesterday afternoon. In the vicinity of Isipingo a truck had an accident and he landed in the middle of the traffic jam caused by the recovery of the truck. With nowhere to go he stuck it out for more than 2hrs till eventually the traffic was diverted through Isipingo. Due to all the standing and idling, he made it as far as outside the old racecourse, on the M4 southern freeway in Clairwood, where the car ran out of fuel around 7pm. When he alerted me, I suggested he call his insurer for roadside assistance. All I had was a 5lt plastic water bottle, which the filling stations refused to supply petrol in. I went out to him at 7:45pm,and after 5 calls to Auto and General, apart from the calls to the contractors who had apparently been assigned the recovery job, help FINALLY arrived at midnight. Fortunately the area was well lit, and he had someone who could come out and wait with him. In today's unsafe climate, the story could have unfolded in a very bad way. Surely "roadside assistance" doesn't need to take 5hrs? What's even more is that you pay extra on your premium for an emergency app, which is supposed to connect you with help in an emergency, well it DOES NOT WORK!!!! Disgusting service from a well advertised company.

Mac's Fish and Chips has to be tasted
On Thursday 2 pensioners set out from Durban to pay Die Deeghuys at Tiffany Centre, Salt Rock a visit, after seeing their FaceBook page and website. As it was a new experience we ambled around the quaint centre, and decided to have luncg at Mac's Fish and Chips, which was next door to Die Deeghuys. My friend decided on a Large Hake and Chips, and I opted for the Large Hake and greek salad. The shop was clean and refreshingly bright and airy, and there is an outside patio where one can have your meal. The staff were friendly and efficient in enquiring as to whether we wanted grilled or fried, and after a few minutes, our drinks arrived, followed shortly afterwards by our meals. We both enjoyed our meals so much that I felt the owner needed to be told, so I sent him an email to the address on the till slip. The fish was fresh, flaky and perfectly fried, with just the correct thickness of batter, which was light and crispy and not oozing with oil. (Their oil is obviously changed regularly, which made for a perfect, delicious piece of fish and portion of chips.) The Greek salad was freshly made with crispy and fresh ingredients, complimented by a very tasty dressing. I will definitely be going back (BEFORE THE PETROL PRICE INCREASE), to sample their combo of Hake, Calamari and prawns. Highly recommend for anyone in the area or passing through that way.

Common sense ?
1. Wimpy Musgrave Centre, Durban have intoduced foil packed butter portions, which are messy to handle, I have taken it up with the store manager, and await a change back to the plastic tubs. 2. All Wimpys which I have visited in Durban, expect you to use a pointed steak knife, to remove butter and jam from the small tubs. Whereas Spur supply a round nosed butter knife in addition to the steak knife and fork when serving breakfast.

North Beach for me in future
i recently had breakfast with a friend at the Wimpy at North Beach in Durban, and must say it was a much more pleasant experience than either of the Davenport or Windermere outlets. The restaurant was clean, waiters were friendly and service was quick and efficient. There was no long wait for the bill after the meal, and the food was correctly supplied first time round. The Davenport outlet had slow service when I was there a while back, the order was incorrectly supplied, and the wait for the bill and making payment on 2 different occasions was like pulling teeth. A few weeks back I visited the branch in Windermere Centre, due to North Beech restaurants being closed due to load shedding. As it was lunch hour the shop was busy, which meant there was a longer wait than usual to place and receive orders. I felt like having a waffle , but found there was a limited selection of only 2 variants, and i opted for the Bar One flavour . . ..YUK, never again will I order a waffle form Wimpy, it was pure goo and sweet. I'll stick to Milky Lane for waffles, and understand that it is not a Wimpy speciality. In conclusion, well done to the North Beach branch, you've saved a costomer for the brand!!

No response received to date
On Saturday 31 July 2021 I bought 2 small pizzas from the Davenport store in Durban. One was a BBQ Bacon and the other a Peperoni and Olive, the slip # ending in 101. I no sooner sat down when the order for # 99 was ready and the customer left with their order. Some time passed and 3 orders were called simultaneously , # 101, # 102 & # 104. These orders were NOT placed at the same time, because I had been sitting for a while before any other customers entered the store. My order, # 101, would’ve been ready ahead of the other 2, and should have been despatched accordingly. And even if the orders were only placed a minute apart, they should’ve been handed to the respective customers, a minute apart, and not accumulated to be given to us simultaneously?? I drove straight home which is on the corner of Heather and Umbilo Rds, less than a 5 min drive, more like a 3min trip. My flatmate and I immediately sat down to eat, only to find that the pizzas were not hot, and by the time we were halfway done, they were cold and very unappetizing. I cannot compare my experience to any other Pizza outlet, as I only support Debonairs, and only the Davenport branch. I don’t even look at the menu, but always order the same Pepperoni and Olive, as it is a favourite, and the small size is sufficient to satisfy my hunger. On a 2nd issue, I would like to suggest that you round up your prices and forger the .90c, because the cashier does not give customers the copper portion of the change. At the end of the day, Debonairs or its employees are defrauding the public of .10c on each item it sells. In other words the cashier is charging R25.00 for a pizza advertised at R24.90, and the same probably goes for all the other similarly priced items. Await your feedback on these 2 issues.

Casadena Star shines bright
2 friends and i went for breakfast on Sunday morning. We were each going to have the "Unreal Breakfast" @ R39.90ea, but when the waitron told us that the "Top-up Breakfast" included Coffee (R20.90) and 2 pork sausages in addition (R20.90), all for R66-odd, it was a better deal. The food was unreal, the service was excellent and the turnaround was good considering how busy they were at 9.30am. Sadly Wilsons Wharf has lost it's appeal, however it is satisfying to know that there is a place like Casadena Spur which stills shines bright. Well done guys, keep up the good work!! As Arnie would say...."I'll be back!"

Wish I were closer to Hillcrest
After calling Builder's customer care and not receiving a reply back call to my enquiry, I decided to go in person to the Rossburgh branch in Durban, in search of the item. Needless to say they did not have what I was looking for, although it appears on their website, but the friendly assistant referred me to the Hillcrest branch, who apparently had 12 in stock. The following day I set out in pouring rain, and was assisted by an extremely helpful lady, who spent an hour with me trying to locate the item I needed. She literally looked in every nook and cranny because another 18 of those items had been received the previous day, and she was determined to find them!!! We finally found them, and I left with my purchase, only to find that they were not suitable for the application, and I would need to return them. As Hillcrest was on the other side of the earth from where I was, I enquired whether I could return them at another branch, so I proceeded to the Umgeni Rd branch where I was turned away. I then called Hillcrest, and the manager suggested I go to the Riverhorse Valley Warehouse, who took back the item without a hassle. It saved me a much further trip to have to go to Hillcrest....

After sales service is lacking
After having used Phillips shavers for many years, I tried this shaver. It was very strange at 1st being in such a long "neck", but I eventually got used to it. After aprox 16 months of use, the shaving experience deteriorated, and I figured it may need new blades, (I applied machine oil to the blades but it did not help), so I enquired from customer care as to the availability and cost of the head replacement. 2weeks later I have still not received feedback, to an email I sent via their web page, as well as from the person I spoke to telephonically. I called in again and was told to send an email, stationg the barcode of the product as well as a picture of the part which I require....... Do we have time for this nonsense? I'm going back to Phillips, and WONT be buying it from Clicks!!!!
