Ezzecars, never again
I November 2024 I was interested in buying a Mercedes Benz SLK 55 AMG from Ezeecars in Pinetown. I spoke to a salesperson with the name of Kiah Becker and came to some an acceptable price of the vehicle of R 380 000. I was told that the vehicle is not on their floor seeing that the car is not part of their stock but on consignment. I was then told to secure the car I must pay a holding deposit on the car or I can loose the vehicle. I paid R 7000 on the car and tried to get finance, I could not get finance on the vehicle and found out that they have in anyway sold the car without letting me know. Now that I am trying to get my deposit back, they are refusing to repay me my deposit. They sold the car, got their money and still refuse to give me my money back. Please do not do business with this company or pay any moneys over to them for a so-called holding deposit, they will not repay you. It is not worth the effort rather go to another dealer that is reputable.

Adrienne Hersche Properties, never
I was interested in a property that was advertised by Adrienne Hersche Properties in the Gardens and made contact with the agent. I had an appointment to view 03/10/2024 at 17h30. The advert says fully furnished so you expect the unit to be fully, furnished. On my viewing, there was not cutlery or crockery or chairs for the dining table. I said to the agent that I would like her to phone after I left. I got a sms later asking me what I think of the unit and I rep**** that I would be interested. I then received a sms asking if when I would like to move in and I rep**** asap. Then I received a sms stating that I must apply online and pay R 285 for the application. I see this as ******ion for taking money from me before I even have spoken to her or know if I will be approved. I sent her a sms complaining about the fact and I was told it is standard practice. So that means that the rental companies make money from people even if they are not accepted. What stops a agent to not even have a property or not even complete the application and just use this to make a quick couple of Rand every day without any questions asked. I was then told that if I want to rent the property, I have to pay or don't rent. Wow is this what is happening to the rental business, they have become so unprofessional to bluntly steel from clients like this. Don't use this agency, if they treat you like this, they don't care about your well being, just the money.

Chasing cars,never
I saw a Jaguar XKR that was advertised by Chasing Cars in Randburg at the price of R 499.00. I phoned the salesman buy the name James and asked him what the total price will be and if there is any damage on the vehicle or any repairs. I was told that nothing requires any repairs seeing that the vehicle is still very clean and in good condition. I asked the salesman to give me the final pricing and I was told that the vehicles price is R 499 000 but they add a extended warrantee to the value of R 27 000. Now I don't know what extended warrantee costs that price so I said I will rather pass the deal. Today I phoned the salesman again and asked him if I could buy the vehicle without the warrantee. I was told now, I have to buy the vehicle with the warrantee. I later got a wattsapp message sating that I could buy the vehicle without the warrantee for R 495 000 but I have to sign a waver that I don't keep them liable for any damages or repairs. I asked him if they did a full test on the car to make sure all is working. I was told they can do that if I pay for it. Now my question is the following, is the dealership not suppose to do that automatically before selling the vehicle to you. Now they just want to get rid of the vehicle and add a warrantee to it so that they are not liable for any repairs. They now can sell you any junk and you sit with the repair cost and problems. Please be careful if you buy a vehicle from this company, every dealership is suppose to give you a six months warrantee from the dealership and not force you to take a warrantee to cover them from their responsibility. They should make sure that the vehicle that they sell is in good and proper running condition before selling it to you and not force you to take a extended warrantee to get them off the hook of their responsibility as dealership.

Pharoah auto investments, never
I approached this company seeing that I was interested in a Jaguar XKR 2007 model. I took the vehicle for a drive after I made an appointment with the salesman. I was told specifically by the salesman that the vehicle just came from Land rover where the vehicle has been thoroughly check and gone over to make sure all issues and or problems have been repaired. I was assured that the vehicle is 100% and was shown a list of problems that was repaired. After taking the vehicle for a test drive, we stopped at the showroom and I inspected the interior to see if all the electronics work and found that the telescopic steering wheel does not work. Now if Land rover did check the vehicle and took it for a test drive, then surely that should have been the first thing they must have seen that does not work. I was told that it will be sorted out and we agreed on a price and I was issued a OTP for the vehicle as I was willing to buy the car. The following day I made contact with the salesman to find out what the issue was with the was and I was told they have ordered the part. two days later I got a video and call from the salesman saying that the workshop said there is nothing wrong with the steering. I sent the salesman a video from the same problem with Jaguars seeing that it is a common problem to prove that it is not normal and that the steering should at least go up and down and forward an back. The following day I got a call from the salesman stating that I must first pay for the vehicle before they order the part or fix the vehicle. Now this is the first time in my short life of 60 years and all the cars I have bought in my life, that a dealership asks you to first pay for the vehicle before they fix all the issues or broken parts on the vehicle. So that said, they will sell a broken car to a client or you must pay them fist for the car so that they can use your money to fix their broken can. Don't buy from people like this,, there are many other car dealers that honestly know how to do business property and honestly, it seems like this dealer is not prepared to put his money in a car her bought to fix it and make another client happy, but need the client to make him happy to pay him so that he can use your money to sort out his problems.

Brookstone DANGEROUS *******
We app**** with this company for finance a while back, it was very strange to us that the address is in a town ship and that you can not speak to them over the phone but just via whattsapp. We eventually got approval for our loan but we had to pay for insurance to the value of R 24 000. I did not have a problem with that but wanted to see a copy of the content of the insurance and what I am covered for before paying the amount over. They refused to send me the content and demanded that we pay or they will cancel the loan. We were treated very poorly and the fact that they don't want to give you any information is against the NCT act and therefore we placed a complaint of Hello Peter. Now we are getting threatening messages that they are going to come to our house and in so many word do things to us that we will regret if we don't take the complaint of Hello Peter. Please don't use this company, what they are doing is against the law and the credit act and if they can do this to somebody that has a complaint, what will they do to you if you don't pay them back.

Brookstone loans, don't use them.
I have app**** funding with Brookstone Cash Loans for funding of one of my projects. My first issue is that you just can not speak to somebody and all must be done via sms. Eventually when they sent the application documentation I sent them a mail and asked to speak to the gentleman that sent me the mail. I again explained to him that this is not a personal loan but funding for my company that has a contract with government. I said he had no problem and in that case the company will have to give issue me with a insurance policy to protect them should I not pay the installment. I had no problem with that seeing that most banks do have credit life insurance on loans. A short while there after a was sent a approval letter with out them asking for a business plan or anything. In the approval letter was a amount of R 24 000 to be paid upfront before the loan gets paid out. I then asked if I could get the name of the company that is going to insure me so that I could at least go through the terms and conditions of the policy that I am paying for. I got a message back that I am not allowed to seeing that it is confidential. Why can I not see or read the policy that I am paying for, what is so confidential that the owner of the policy can not read it. This is the first time in my life that I heard that you are not to read your own policy. This is a huge red light and I am confident that this company is ****ming people out of hard earned money, and what they are doing is against the NCR acct. They ate also not registered with the FSB for if so they would have been able to disclose all that information to the client. Please don't use them, they are operating on their own rules and not according to regulation.

MIK MAK MOTORS----NEVER
I was interested in vehicle that this company advertised and spoke to salesperson about the vehicle. Seeing that I stay in Johannesburg and the dealership is in Pretoria, I was told that they will bring me the vehicle for a test drive. I was asked how will I be paying for the vehicle and I responded that I will pay for it cash. I was told that they will gladly bring me the vehicle for a test drive but they need my personal information which I gladly gave them. I do not require finance seeing that I WILL BE PAYING CASH FOR THE CAR. Just after submitting the personal information I received a sms that they did a ITC check on me for finance. I never gave them the authority to do a ITC check for finance, I never signed for it and I did say that I will be paying CASH FOR THE CAR, why do a ITC for finance. They are blatantly miss using their system to get information from all clients that is in contravention of the Potty acct and the NCR act. This is again a dealer that does just what it wants and does not keep to the safeguard of the client or the clients information. There is no aw that says that I have to apply to take a vehicle for a test drive or have a ITC check done to text drive a vehicle, specifically if the client said he is paying cash for the car. Be warned about this dealership and others that do the same.

Not legal
I saw a advert of this company with a contact person by the name of Annatjie Joubert and made contact with her for some more information. Firstly she does not take a call but communicated via Whattsapp. I told her what my requirement was and she told me that they could assist but I must first complete a application. I then asked her questions like what will the term and conditions be and what will the interest rate be before I just sign the application document where I appoint them as my agent. These questions could not be answered and I was told to talk to the owner of the company Mr. Aubrey Meisenheimer. I tried numerous times to talk to him with out any success. I was then told by Mrs. Joubert that he has a problem with his phone and I could contact him on Friday. I asked if he does not have a alternative number seeing that it is a business. Could not get any other number to phone him. Friday morning I tried to phone him and again no success. I then got a message that they will not talk to me unless I complete the application letter where I appoint them as my agent. I sent her a message that I can not appoint them as my agent if I don't not know what I am appointing them for and what the criteria is or what my rate will be. Then Mrs Joubert said she would phone me after I tried three days to speak to somebody. She then came with a long story of people wasting his time for grants and they don't know what they do and that is why he want me to sing the application and make him a agent. What ehy are doing is against the NCR act , for they don't give you all the information before you sign any documentation. They also don't explain to you what they services entails or the cost thereof. I simply wanted to speak to somebody to find all of this out before signing any documents. Now I also find out that they are not registered with the FSB nor are they registered but the render financial services and do funding. This is against the financing act and they are not transparent with clients as to what they do. Please be careful for this company before signing any paperwork.

Bad people skills
I had a meeting with Violet Automotive in Randburg, and went to see them to discuss thing I wanted to change on my two vehicles headlights. On arrival at the main gate I was told by the security that they want to take a photo of my drivers license which I refused seeing that there is so much ***** with ID and licenses in South Africa and due to the fact that it is unconstitutional. I then phoned the person I had the meeting with Sugar Moodley and asked him if he could please come and sign me in. Her said a technician will come and sign me in. After about 15 minutes two man arrived with a very snotty and bad attitude saying that I have to park my vehicle outside and come with them. I have not been treated like this in a long time and hope that if this is the way that they handle or treat customers that people will not use them to work on clients cars. If they treat a client like this, how will they do their work on a clients car. There are other companies that are to glad to get your business and treat you professionally. Don't use this company.
