This is not a business, its a blatant *****
I contracted Recon Engines, owned by Mr. Wayne Meintjies, in August 2024 to recondition and rebuild the engine on my 2010 Range Rover. He quoted 3–6 weeks and a cost of R90 000. As of October 2025, my vehicle has still not been completed or returned. https://reconengineswaynemeintjies9.wordpress.com/ I have paid R100,000 in total—R10,000 more than the R90,000 quote (Quote never officially provided, even after several requests): 13 Aug 2024: R65,000 (initial payment) 22 Aug 2024: R15,000 7 Nov 2024: R20,000 Despite these payments and many assurances, I have not received my vehicle back or credible proof of meaningful progress. During a workshop visit in April 2025, I found the engine block lying on the floor and the vehicle covered in dust—indicating no real work. The prolonged delay has caused ongoing financial loss (licensing, insurance, alternative transport).

FNB reduces then cancels overdraft without consultation
FNB reduced my companies overdraft without consultation causing a major cash flow issue for my company. After being one of the major contributing factors to the companies cash flow issues in the fist place, FNB then decided to cancel the overdraft facility completely once the account was settled in full, even after I had sent numerous requests to please discuss other options, and submitted all documentation/information requested of me. I don't know how you can expect businesses to deal with you when after 9 years of trouble free relationship, you ruthlessly and mercilessly call your marker at the first sign of trouble...I have news for you, the SA economy isn't exactly booming at the moment, I am sure my company won't be the last that gets this treatment from you...heaven help them.

Great Experience
Tony and his team recently built a complicated infinity pool for me and I am thrilled with the outcome. The company has a great attitude, always goes the extra mile and deliver more than you expect. Job was finished on time, in budget without any hassles, even though I changed my mind several times through the process. Nothing was too much trouble, and the custom bits I wanted to make it special all happened. The work site was neat and you can hardly tell I just had a major renovation by looking at how little impact there was to the garden etc. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to have a pool that they can be proud of and I am confident after watching the attention to detail during the build, and the quality of materials used that I will have trouble free swimming for years to come. Tony was personally on site and supervising each day, and I think this hands on approach is the key to the success. All round great job guys, much appreciated.
