Connaught quoted 28,500, invoiced R110965.00.
quoted R28,500 incl Vat to refurbish my vehicle. took 11 months to complete work. work appeared satisfactory although slow. when vehicle was complete they sent an updated quote and final invoice for R110,964.95 incl VAT. they refused to honour the initial quote, despite no agreement to any other amount. claimed I had agreed to this extra charges. claimed they actually discounted the work and it should have cost 3 times more. after a year and a half I have had to start legal action to try recover my vehicle as they wont release it or the parts for original quote or even an offer of R50,000 incl VAT that I made to try to settle the matter. They refuse to acknowledge CPA or common law regarding quotes and refuse to respond to my lawyers. they state I must either take them to court or agree to their new price. beware!<br>
