<p>Sometime last month I took my car into Tonneson fitment center (5 Rosmead Ave, Claremont, Cape Town, 7708, South Africa) for a shock replacement and got a quote of R3000.00 which in all respect I was more than willing to play. I left my car there for 4 to 5 hours as I needed to get to work in that time.</p> <p> </p> <p>Upon arrival, I was shocked to find that my car was fitted with all sorts of parts I did not ask for. I proceeded to the counter to enquire about the parts installed and was told that they were needed, even though I did not agree for them to be installed.</p> <p> </p> <p>The invoice for this job was R6800.00 which is double and some to what I was originally quoted. I requested them to take the parts off but I was told that they had to break the old parts off of my vehicle.</p> <p>To add insult to injury my car was held ransom until I paid the balance of the invoice.</p> <p> </p> <p>In my need to get home, I paid the invoice and left rather unsatisfied as the knocking sound I initially came in for was still there. I then proceeded to contact the manager of the branch who politely asked for my car's registration and invoice number. I gladly gave it hoping that this robbery would be sorted out. </p> <p> </p> <p>Up until this day I have not received so much as a hello from the manager. I then took my car to Mr. TyreMan in Promenade and they sorted my car out for R750.00 .</p> <p> </p> <p>As a note to anyone trying to fix any part of your car I warn you do not use Tonneson Fitment Center, there are cheaper and more trustworthy centers out there. For instance, Mr. TyreMan fitment Centre, they ar friendly and you won't feel like you have ben robbed when you leave. </p> <p> </p>
