I too my car to ND 56971, a Toyota Corolla to Holtz Motors , 156 West St, Pietermaritzburg since the engine gave up on the road. Discussing options with Danie, the Garage owner, he discouraged me from the idea of buying a used imported engine and advised that he can fix by overhauling the current engine. The car was with him for almost 4 months mentioning some issues that he needed to fix on his own (Removed the car from the workshop to his house) – When I complained about the cost of hiring the vehicles that I was using he then declared that he is finished with the car. I paid him and collected the which could not drive smoothly on steep hills. I reported this to him on the same day and he advised me to return the car but when reversing, I noticed a pool of oil that leaked overnight and asked him to come and tow the car. These incidents happened for 3 to 4 times, colleting the car, keeping is for few weeks, ask me to fetch it and get the same faults which were not limited to oil leaks, no power, high rev when idling ‘hot’ WHICH WAS STRANGE AS HE CLAIMED TO HAVE REPLACED ALL ENGINE PARTS WITH BRAND NEW ONES. Whenever the car was with him, I was compelled to hire the car to use. On the last episode I advised him that I was going to take the car to a different mechanic for the second opinion ang proper fixing which he sarcastically agreed upon and confirmed that he is prepared to pay for the new repairs if any. I then took the car to Hillstar Motors in Johnson Lane, Durban – gave them the previous mechanic contact details in order to get the repairs history but his responses were not useful so the engine was stripped again and repaired accordingly – has been running smooth and even feeling as if the Engen was ‘advanced’ They provided a list of issues that were incorrectly done in the engine some caused by the way he worked the engine. He even fitted double gaskets on the cylinder head. I then communicated the cost for the new repairs, asking him to at least meet me half-way he told me that he was not paying a single cent. All I need is a refund of what I paid to Danie of Holtz Motors as I had to pay another R30 000 for fixing his mess on the engine, not even incorporating the costs of hiring vehicles whilst waiting for his repairs
Poor Management S****s and Pathetic Customer Service - PMB Liberty Mall Branch
approached the BP Garage at +- 15:40, with the till slip since the engine was last opened there. When the Supervisor who attended me called informed the senior management who walked pass me, looked at the engine and advised the supervisor to organise to take the car to the car-wash bay. This is without greeting or talking to me
Good Day,<br> <br> On the 1st of February or last days of January, I deposited a R100.00 into my DSTV account at PEP Store, Hammarsdale Jucntion, Kwazulu-Natal using My ID Number 6711225256086.<br> <br> The amount never reflected on my DSTV account - I, if not mistaken, on the next day went to enquirer at the shop and I was told that the systems were down and that sometimes the transactions have some delays. I then went to PnP and paid another full amount and it went through immediately.<br> <br> Today I checked on my transaction history, it is still not reflecting and unfortunately I have misplaced the till slip.<br> <br> I am Xolani Ndimande
