Weather King - A bunch of *******
I had purchased a voucher from Daddy Deal for a car air conditioning regas service at Weather King Durban as my car underwent some mechanical repairs where the air conditioning pipes from the compressor had to be removed. Took my car in to regas the air conditioning system. The car wasn't cooling like how it was originally. Took it back after 2 weeks as requested for a leak test as requested and I told the guys the car isn't cooling like how it originally was. They plugged their machine onto my car and checked for 'leaks'. They claimed to have put in 450g of gas originally and only 120g came off from the car. No leaks were detected at the time. The tech jacked up my car twice and went looking at the underneath with his glasses and light not sure what's he looking for as there's no air conditioning pipes running under the engine and my car has covers underneath. The manager recons I must pay him R590 for gasing the car again or buy another voucher for R300 from Daddy's Deals. I asked him to show me how is the 450g gas topped up into the car which he claims the machine did it but couldn't provide any proof. At no point did they mention any additional charges during the check of their leak test. There's absolutely NO transparency in their workmanship. Furthermore I found out that my 2011 BMW E90 takes 580g of gas. These guys are just *******. Daddys Deals vouchers at R300 and your own in house charge is R590. I wouldn't go back to these ******* and wouldn't recommend anyone else to use them either.

One star is too much!!!
<p>I bought a group on voucher for a service. They then informed me that my brakes needed changing so i said okay do it. The next day the car was screeching bad. So i called and told them. They said it was normal. So i waited a week. And took it in. They did something. But said they couldn't find anything wrong this went on for two months me in every other week until they asked an independent person to look at it. Still nothing. 6 months in weatherking finally discovers theres no pins. That usually come with the brakes that cost me an arm and a leg. So i had to order pins and pay. But still there was a noise. They advised i change my shocks so i did. Cost alot! but the car was feeling awful and and grinding screeching! Finally while driving back from pmb my brakes failed! I took it back because thankfully i didn't die. Again they found nothing wrong. Last night driving back from sibiya the brakes failed again. I told them in taking it to someone who knows brakes and if the brakes they fitted are damaged cos of poor fitment i want a refund as the yrs guarantee was not up. They said it's not their policy to do especially of i take it somewhere else. I think they are poor in diagnosing problems and solving them. The service fleets and i feel don't pay attention to the individual cars which come in. I must have been back to them 18+ times with not a single issue solved. And having almost died twice for to failing brakes that they fitted 8 months ago! in so disappointed that a company can be so negligent. </p>

One year guarentee? This company could not even help 15 minutes after the service
<p style="margin: 18.75pt 0cm 18.75pt 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: #555555;">I had purchased a group on voucher for a major service on a light motor vehicle, on the 6th of may 2016, i had sent my car in for service at weatherking durban, Stamford hill. The staff was inconsiderate, unhelpful and above all the Manager couldnt take responsibility for his actions, showing his unethical behavior and lack of professionalism. As a customer I am awarded such rights which I am well aware of, byut as a human being i entitled to the right to dignity, which this man has a baltant disregard for. My simple request was to show me what has been done on the motor vehicle, the man could not comment on such. Furthermore the company has a 52 point check that the Advisor had given me ensuring me that this would be carried out. At the end of the afternoon no one could report on the service done, not the man servicing or the manager.</span></p> <p style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: #555555;"> </span></p> <p style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: #555555;">I had left my car with them at 08: 57 am, they had said that they would call me to discuss the pick up service ("if they could make a plan") at 12pm. the company had not contacted me, so i took the liberty of calling them, i Spoke to the manager who had said " yes, the vehicle will be ready at 2|:15 pm. i had then made the arrangements to pick the car up, only to find that the car was not ready and the car had only went in at around 2pm . when I asked the manager about this confusion he had denied everything, saying it wasnt him. </span></p> <p style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: #555555;"> </span></p> <p style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: #555555;">This was a horrible experience, they say that they give their customers a one year guarentee with every purchase, this was not even a day and i could get no service.
