It wasn't me!!
Had my engine redone in Vanderbijlpark. After 1200kms my gearbox oil leaked out. Apparently, they did not touch the cooler but also could not see the missing bolt in open view 5 cm from where they tightened the two bolts holding the gearbox to the engine. From there on it was all ****gy-wasn't me. They say it must have been Ford who replaced the gearbox oil 5000kms prior and two of the three the naughty bolts came lose right after they worked on the car. Apparently they don't touch anything you have not paid to fix even if it could lead to your car failing. If they could miss that bolt, I can't trust that all the bolts in the engine were replaced. I suspect if there were bolts left they are now on the floor together with my gearbox oil. Avoid.

Workshop that does good work
Also known as Insane workshop. Flavio and his team did some work on my car about 2 years ago, and has never been an issue since. The reason why I bring this up is that I need something else attended to now- and so will go back to them. Do good work- you get my business again. Simple.

Sac Just taking people's money
I'd live to thank Flavio and his team of Machinics @ insane auto Vanderbijlpark . I took my car for an oil leak twice. I was initially quoted R2420. I took my car the following day after paying the amount. The same day I brought to Flavio's team. Also took a video shortly after taking the car. After sending the video, I was advised that it's a cranck seal and I was quoted another R2900. I expressed my unhappiness to Flavio and I was brushed off. I decided to take my car to Tube city Vanderbijlpark. The gladly assisted. I just had to buy a new oil filter and an O ring seal for the supposed new sump. Paid R450. Zero oil leek. I would have paid almost R3000 for a misdiagnose by the machanical team at sac. At the end of the day I paid for Nothing and could have paid more if I didn't decide to go elsewhere.

Biggest con artist
Do not do business with them. They are probably the biggest con artist ever. They charged us R19k to overhaul injectors on a ford figo and they said the engine needs to be overhaul we took the car away and had a new motor installed I asked the workshop to remove the injectors from the old motor and found that there were no work performed on them they did not even cleaned them. Take your work anywhere but to them

Onbevredigende werk deur SAC Enginering
Ek is so ontevrde met die diens wat ek by SAC Engineering Vanderbijlpark ontvang het dat ek nooit weer van hulle diens gebruik sal maak nie. Hulle het my Isuzu KB 300 D-TEQ se enjin in November 2022 opgedoen nadat ek dit laat oorverhit het. Nadat ek ongeveer 2 000 km gery het het dit begin rook. Hulle was so vriendelik om die enjin in Januarie 2023 weer oop te maak nadat een van hulle werktuigkundiges 'n foutiewe lesing op een van die silenders geneem het. Daar was nie fout nie maar wel met die lugaanjaer wat ek in Potchefstroom laat herstel het. Daar het my probleme met hulle egter begin. Ek het die voertuig vir hulle in Mei 2023 terug geneem omdat daar lugborrels by die verkoeler ontsnap het. Hulle het besluit dit gebeur as gevolg van probleme met die "EGR" en dit afgeblok. Hulle het egter weer die "top" "geskim" en ook die boonste pakstuk vervang omdat, volgens Clifton, die eienaar van SAC Engineering, die enjin warm geword het. Ek moes vir dit alles betaal, dit terwyl die voertuig nog onder waarborg was en ek bereid was om onder eed te bevestig dat die voertuig nooit oorverhit het nie. Ek glo daar is nie nuwe boute ingesit nie of dit is nie korrek vasgetrek nie, toe hulle die werk in Januarie 2023 gedoen het. Dit was nog nie die einde van hulle onbevredigende werk nie. Minder as 2 000 km verder kom daar 'n skreeu geluid van die lugaanjaer. Ek laat my werktuigkundige dit afhaal omdat ek en hy gedink het dit is foutief. Hy ontdek dit makeer niks nie maar drie boute, wat dit help vashou aan die enjin, is weg terwyl die ander boute aan die lugaanjaer met die hand vasgedraai kan word. Ek het vir Cliften ges***el om te vra dat hulle vir die arbeid en nuwe pakstuk moet betaal omdat hulle daar gewerk het in Meimaand. Hy het geweier omdat ek, volgens hom, die voertuig na hulle moes geneem het vir die herstelwerk. Dit terwyl ek nie in die minste gedink het die probleem is hulle onbevredigende werk nie. Cliften vind dus elke keer 'n verskoning om nie vir hulle onbevredigende werk te betaal nie. PW de Vries Vredefort.

Worst Engineering company.
Stay far away from these people. Had my head for more than 4 months now and not repaired and seems it has been lost along the way. Had to start from scratch and source new head myself and owner/manager PJ is very arrogant and acts like he is doing clients a favor even when in the wrong. Find another company for your engineering needs because they are hopeless and useless.

Bad Service Sac Engineering
I brought my cylinder head from Zambia to be exchanged. They supplied the head wrong twice . I had to transport it back twice and they took a month to try find replacement. They refused to buy parts useless I paid a further deposit. I must drive all the back to van der bijl to collect my old head and await a deposit.
