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).
