Poor work values
Failed to successfully carrying out repairs on a truck and left the brakes in a non working condition. Also note this company falsely advertises and is not RMI accredited, neither do they have a premises to work from. Dirty mechanics working out of a bakkie and a car.

********* business practice
Dear all. Please note that BKV is operated with ********* business values. The owner comes off as kind and knowledgeable. However when exposed of his poor workmanship and knowledge from the eal profesionals, he tries to play victim. He was contracted to do brakes all round on a truck of mine which was a complete disaster. Upon testing there was literally no brake pressure at all. We called him out and he did return to try and correct his mistakes. After 2 weeks of him and his apprentice day in and out bleeding the brakes over and over, I lost confidence and told him I will rather attend to the problem myself. This is when I found he had charged me for reconditioned parts he supp**** that were still faulty. Brake cylinders that he was suppose to replace/recondition were only spray painted. We stripped it and found contamination on the inside as well as blocked bleeding nipples. (Thus I found his knowledge in brake hydraulics is not to specification). Correcting these repairs, I found that one of the new parts fitted had also been faulty. I stripped the part and found the seals damaged. He refused to refund me due to me stripping the part. Best of all is that I went directly to the supplier (ADD) and found the exact same part, same brand for a price of R975.40. BKV charged me R8500.00 for the same part. So be careful of these guys. I have additional evidence of his inferior repair work and ********* business practice if anybody needs it. Be careful of this wolf in sheep's clothing.

I understand the concept and from there completely cut my ties with BKV. Best of all is that I went directly to the supplier (ADD) and found the exact same part, same brand for a price of R975.40. BKV charged me R8500.00 for the same part. So be careful of these guys. Worst of all is, he us now trying to sabotage me by creating **** accounts and bad mouthing me. See attached photos. I have additional evidence of his inferior repair work and ********* business practice if anybody needs it. Be careful of this wolf in sheep's clothing.

Poor workmanship
Very slow turn around on attending to there warranty claims and poor workmanship. Always has a story that changes when following up on claim. Does not take liability for inferior workmanship. Be very careful of Hendry
