RATHER USE TAKEALOT The service from Snatcher is terrible. Ordered a product, got no indication on delivery. Messaged them on their site, got no reply. Product is delivered. Wrong product in the box. Logged a return. Zero feedback. Phoned them a few days after, complaining. They took no action. Still waiting for my return. TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!!!!!
Pierre van Zyl operates out of Pretoria North and sells second hand golf carts. He advertises mainly on OLX and Gumtree. I went to view a cart that was priced at R45K. Pierre told me all I wanted to know about this cart. I specifically asked him about the batteries as they seemed old. This was my main concern. He assured me that, worst case should the batteries go one day, he could sell me second hand batteries "at R1000 per battery" and also told me its not "all of the batteries that go at the same time" Worst case, he assured me that I could buy new batteries from him at R10 000. I eventually bought the cart at R40 000. When the cart was delivered to my house, I drove it around the block. My heart sank as the battery level went to 50% (after 10 minutes of driving it) and it became apparent that this cart would not even last 9 holes of golf. I immediately phoned Pierre, who basically told me it is not his problem. When I asked him for quotes for his second hand batteries, he simply ignored me. I pleaded with him to take the cart back (at R35 000) which he also declined, even saying "he does not want to do me a disservice of losing R5000!!!) The arrogance of Pierre is unbelievable. I ended up paying R20 000 for new batteries with an external provider (cheapest quote I could get) and to top it all off, the charger that Pierre gave me with the cart is also now not functioning. Please be aware of this man. When you buy a cart from him, take someone with who is knowledgeable with golf carts and who can test the batteries on premises. Pierre will do anything and say anything to make a sale, but afterwards, you are on your own.
