HJM Offroad Nightmare!!!

I had a really bad experience with this company, I spent close to R800k with them to install 4x4 accessories on my LC200, only for them to stuff me around for nearly 1 year, These guys don’t know what they are doing, the owner Hans has a very *** attitude as well, barely answers his phone, and sends updates when he feels like it!!! When I first walked into their workshop I saw that they didn’t have a hydraulic lift, you would think having a lift would be standard for a 4x4 fitment centre, yet I still gave them a chance…Biggest mistake ever…you would also think that by spending so much money with a company they would treat you with respect and try to prioritise your project, not the case with these guys,….They run their business like a backdoor panel beater and treat their clients like ****!!!When I finally got the car back, I drove it for 1 hour and the suspension dropped on the right hand side, the car got what’s called a KDSS lean, because these idiots didn’t know how to reset the KDSS…no technical knowledge whatsoever, they would rather send it to Toyota. So I tried calling them after the incident and they never answered my calls, the car sat the whole of the Christmas holidays, with all my family plans ruined…to top it off, it rained the whole weekend, when I opened the drivers door the following Monday the car was full of water, it was leaking water everywhere. So I had to wait for them to reopen in January and take it back. I’m writing this review 20th February 2026 and the car is still with them, they’re still playing around and are refusing to refund the money that I still have with them which was for outstanding accessories which they have not yet installed. This proved costly for me, I lost a lot of time, and they nearly destroyed my business, as this build was a company car for my mining company… Because of their *** attitude and lack of technical expertise they lost business from me, I have 5 bullet proof Landcruiser’s that I have now sent to NOVOGEN to do the upgrades and accessories.HJM offroad lost R5million because of their terrible service and attitude. Whatever you do, don’t take your car to these guys, you will regret it! Take it to a company like NOVOGEN, a company that knows what they are doing, a company that respects their clients, and builds your off-road project the way you want it!
