Dynamic Technologies should not be trusted
This review is for DYNAMIC TECHNOLOGIES of web address https://dynamictech.co.za/ and phyiscal address Graham road, Lombardy Office Park, Suit 94, Pretoria East, South Africa, not to be confused with another comany sharing the same name. We were contacted by a representative of the company to give them an opportunity to do some work for us. We requested them to quote for the repair of an existing solar powered CCTV system at one of our sites. A quotation was prepared, a deposit paid and the job scheduled. Their technicians were unable to complete the job. To make matters worse, it became apparent through their own admission that they do not have sufficient experience to work on solar powered CCTV systems. They left the job incomplete and refused to give us a refund for our deposit payment. In fact, no response was received to this request. Dynamic Technologies in my view is a *****ulant operation as they quote for things they cannot fix, they take your money to complete a job but never complete it, and they then refuse to pay you back. Their conduct satisfies the definition of *****. I would caution everyone to think twice before enlisting any services from this company.

How Land Rover Waterford stole my new car experience
I ordered a new Defender late last year and took delivery of the vehicle in January 2024. Towards the end of April (less than 4000 km into my ownership), I started noticing a few rattles in the car namely: - A rattle on the front passenger door which sounded like a loose speaker, - A rattle coming from the B pillar on the driver’s side, and; - An intermittent rattle in the boot area. I contacted Land Rover Waterford and a booking was confirmed for the 6th of June 2024. After having the car for 4 days, Land Rover Waterford returned the car to me with the following damages: 1. The front passenger lower door cover had been cracked. 2. The cover underneath the middle speaker had been damaged. 3. The cover around the door handle for opening the door had been damaged. 4. The front left passenger door had oil marks all over the leather. 5. The back right rear passenger door had oil marks all over the leather. I have pictures of all the damage but could not attached them to this post. Only the rattle on the front passenger door had been fixed, and all the remaining rattles were still present. I wrote to Brendon Melville (the exiting Service Manager) and copied Darryl Harper (Dealer Principle) to express my extreme dissatisfaction with how my brand new, more than R2 million car, had been treated with total negligence and *********** workmanship carried out by a technician who clearly had zero experience with working on vehicle interiors, and specifically Defender models. I was asked to bring the car back so they could correct all the issues. I specifically queried what would be done to remove the oil stains from the leather as I did not want any products used that would compromise the leather on the interior or leave any smell. My query was never answered. The vehicle was returned to the dealership for the 2nd time, and an external company was brought in to repair the interior damages and the front left passenger lower door panel was replaced. There was also a repair done to the right rear passenger door which had a noise when opening, believed to be related to the noise I was hearing from the B pillar on the driver’s side. When I collected the vehicle, I did a thorough inspection and found that there were still damages to some of the panels and now new damages to the right rear passenger door. A courtesy car was arranged for the following morning, and I brought the vehicle back for the 3rd time. I collected the vehicle the following day and all the damaged panels had been airbrushed, and all the oil marks removed. This in turn left a strong spray paint smell in the car which faded after a day or two, but the chemical used to remove the oil stains stuck around and my “new car smell” I had been preserving since January was now gone and destroyed. I tested the car for a few days and the B pillar rattle was still not resolved. I reported it once again and the car was brought in for the 4th time and I was given a loan vehicle. A week and a bit later, after sending the car to SMH Paint Technics, the body “creaking” was allegedly corrected, and I was told the problem is finally resolved. I collected the car and tested it for a day. The B pillar noise seemed to be gone, but now the seatbelt was making a loud noise when being extended to clip the safety belt in. It seems like the belt had not been installed correctly, and so the car went back for a 5th time to the dealership. I received the car back the same day and continued testing the car. To my absolute disgust, a brand-new noise has now developed from the same seatbelt that was incorrectly installed. My brand-new R2 million+ car has been butchered and broken by *********** technicians at Land Rover Waterford, and I have been ****** of my new car experience and smell. I am now stuck with a car that still has a defect on the seatbelt. Land Rover Waterford's service department is *********** and negligent and you should not take your vehicle anywhere near there!

Pathetic customer service from Jaguar Land Rover SA
Don't expect much from Jaguar Land Rover SA. REF: 8001262952 Lodged a complaint with Land Rover SA mid June 2024. My case was assigned to Akhona Blekiwe. The issue was regarding total negligence by Land Rover Waterford resulting in various damages to my brand new Defender. I will share this experience in a separate review. Akhona's extremely poor handling of this situation has completely destroyed any faith I had in Jaguar Land Rover SA for caring about their customers who spend millions of rands on their products. It furthermore confirmed that Jaguar Land Rover SA is incapable of enforcing any kind of acceptable standard of care and professional workmanship through their dealer network. The regional service manager has not contacted me despite my request to speak to him / her on three separate occasions. Akhona on several occasions read my email (for which I have read receipts), and chose to deliberately ignore my questions and failed provide me with any response or the information I requested. This entire experience has left me feeling like a fool for supporting this brand and owning multiple Land Rover vehicles currently. I would caution anyone thinking of supporting Land Rover to think twice.

WARNING - DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS STORE
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS STORE 1. They do not hold stock of the majority of items so they cannot deliver immediately. 2. You cannot reach them via phone. Nobody answers and you just get an automated voice message telling you the hold time is always 20 minutes plus. 3. They sometimes respond to emails but not always. 4. They promise refunds and do not process them. I had to track down the listed directors to request that my refund gets processed failing which I would open a case of ***** against them. 5. Their company is listed as in liquidation on CIPC. You can confirm it for yourself. Don't waste your time. Move on and buy somewhere else.

Pathetic service and phantom installations
The service received from Netstar has been pathetic to say the least. What should have been a simple add on and installation of a unit into a new vehicle has left us considering ways to cancel our contract entirely. After the absolute idiot (Tsepang) who was handling our corporate account took another 4 days to respond to me, I escalated this to her manager (Randy) who managed to assist and correct the mistakes made on the account. I was told the an existing vehicle needed a unit update and that the new vehicle (which had just been installed) needed to be updated to activate the early warning function. That was at the end of February. The existing vehicle was upgraded but as at today's date (23 May 2024) nobody has been to update the new vehicle. But wait, it gets better! On the 4th of April 2024 Netstar somehow issues me with an installation certificate for the new vehicle saying the early warning system is now active! So either Netstar employees have discovered teleportation and wear invisibility cloaks or Netstar has just committed ***** issuing an installation certificate for a vehicle that does not have the system in which they claim it does. How does this work in the event of the vehicle being ******? Is Netstar going to cover the replacement cost for the vehicle seeing as they said they had installed a device which they had not and cannot prove they did? I'm handing this to our legal person tomorrow to get out of this contract one way or another and I'm reporting them to whichever body I can. Don't use this company. Rather try someone else.

Highly unreliable, poor-quality workmanship, no guarantees or after sales service
I would caution anyone from making use of Vaal Plumbers and Electricians. I used them for two separate jobs: 1) Geyser element replacement, and 2) electric fence repair. After the replaced the element my geyser immediately started leaking and damage my bathroom ceiling. Despite numerous requests and promises to come and repair the situation, they never pitched. On the electric fence they charged me to reprogram the energizer and it didn't solve the problem. Then they came out again and charged for replacing a whole bunch of the fence wire and still did not solve the problem. The made two separate commitments to come and attend to the fence and never pitched. Highly unreliable, poor quality workmanship, no guarantees or after sales service. Do not use this company.

Dishonest, unreliable with zero customer service
Do not use this company. They are dishonest, have absolutely no customer service and they don't repay monies owed to back to you. We hired a lift through one of my companies giving Goscor specific instructions that it needed to reach 18m and be on site at 08:00 last week Wednesday. Shirley Smit agreed to this, sent us an invoice and we paid it immediately. The lift arrived only 10:45 and after wasting another 35 minutes of our time setting it up, we discovered that the lift sent was wrong as it could not reach 18m as we requested, and which was confirmed on the quotation. My staff called Shirley and also spoke to Johan multiple times to get assistance. Eventually 2 hours later they said they would send someone out to site to determine what the correct size lift would be. I'm not sure what this meant as the correct size lift would be one that can reach 18m in height as we specified. By 16:00 nobody had arrived yet and our people had been standing around literally the whole day waiting to do the work they were being paid to do. Due to the complete lack of support from Goscor, we managed to enlist the services of another operator who was able to have a lift on-site at 6am the following morning, and one that could reach 18m as we requested. We have now been waiting for a refund from Goscor since last week Thursday as they had not delivered what was agreed. To date we have not been refunded and yesterday they sent us an invoice attempting to charge delivery fees for delivery and collecting the wrong unit they sent to site which could not be used. I asked you, how do you attempt to charge someone for your mistakes? Where is your responsibility? Why have you not refunded us yet? I would not recommend anyone to use Goscor after this absolutely disgusting experience we have had.

Be very careful when dealing with Autorama Klerksdorp
Be very careful when dealing with Autorama. They financed the purchase of a jet ski I was selling for a customer of theirs. He had signed all the paperwork with Wesbank and the bank had paid them in full for the loan amount. When the time came for them to pay me so the ski could be released, they came up with all kinds of stories that they need this and that. All the legally required documentation was provided to them but despite this, they elected to cancel the deal at the last minute when there were no legal grounds for cancellation. The poor guy after incurring multiple expenses could no longer purchase the ski from me and they took zero responsibility. I have all the email correspondence to show their conduct and I also reported the matter to the fraud department of Wesbank for further investigation. I would encourage other parties who have had similar experiences to do the same.
