Warning
Joe’s Automotive / JD Brake and Steering in Brakpan Warning! Do not use Joe’s Automotive / JD Brake and Steering in Brakpan to work on your vehicle. This workshop is in financial trouble and will only take your money upfront to settle other accounts and not use your payment for the parts that they need to repair your vehicle. This workshop does not have the expertise that is required to repair your vehicle as their mechanics have left due to financial reasons. This workshop depends on the repairs of other workshops and cannot afford to pay for their services. Lies, lies, lies! Do not believe a word spoken by the owner of this workshop. He does in fact not make all the repairs so easily promised or confirmed by him and the so-called “driver is always on his way with the parts needed to fix your vehicle”. This I regrettably realised after waiting 6 weeks for what was supposed to be a 2-day repair, as quoted by them. I should have seen the red lights when the owner asked me to make an upfront payment of 100% of the quotation and that I should pay the money into n new bank account. Do not be conned into doing this as I was. After 6 weeks I had to collect my vehicle with damage caused by this workshop. They bumped my vehicle and tried to hide it from me. Then they had the repairs done by a backyard mechanic with an obvious unwanted outcome. My vehicle also got hail damaged at this workshop, that was also hidden from me. After 6 weeks the work that was required to be done was not done. This workshop could not even repair a simple faulty handbrake that is already a result from a previous substandard job done by Joe’s Automotive / JD Brake and Steering. Due to a lack of knowledge and experience this workshop only caused further damage to my vehicle. Other than the body damage their poor workmanship and inexperience resulted into the rear axle of my vehicle from coming loose from the leaf springs and consequently ripping out the prop shaft. This happened whilst they were test driving the vehicle to check their own work. This they did not repair but merely put the prop shaft together again with the hope that I would not realise it. After being without a vehicle for 6 weeks, I am back to square one and now have to have a damaged fender and hail damage repaired, the prop shaft centre bearing and universal joints replaced and balanced and I still have to take my vehicle to a reputable workshop to repair the brakes of the vehicle, which was the main reason for me taking the vehicle back the Joe’s Automotive / JD Brake and Steering for a warranty repair of a poor job already done by them previously. Do not be fooled by Joe’s Automotive / JD Brake and Steering, as I was, and rather take your vehicle to a reputable workshop. Also read the reviews of a company before you make use of their services. This error in judgment by myself cost me a lot of money in damages and inconvenience.
