WP Automotive Centre

An *********** and useless garage

I have waited quite some time to write this to try give an unemotional review, and honestly if there was the option to give less than a star, I would. At the end of 2021 due to a radiator failure, the engine on my 1.6 VW caddy unfortunately failed, and I shopped around for a while to look for repairers, eventually ending up with the more expensive WP automative option because I wanted the job done properly. *** was that a mistake that I regret to this day. The car was returned more times than I can count. First the vehicle immediately overheated when collected. The headlights weren't plugged in. The throttle control body was loose. It was leaking oil everywhere. They used silicone sealant where they shouldn't and old o-rings.The list goes on. Oh but wait it gets better. The owner Charl was completely apathetic and uninterested in helping, saying things like "We can't check everything" "There are greater problems to life than an engine". They eventually changed managers and Christie was a breath of fresh air and was very kind and helpful, but unfortunately that didn't change the sheer incompetence of the garage, as they also managed to break off the fins from the intake manifold and I think the 6th time I collected it there were faulty hydraulic lifters, and the car somehow got rev capped. In mid 2022 I ended up having to get rid of my car. Words cannot describe what I went though with this inept garage. Please do yourself a favour and go anywhere else, if there is no hope for a simple 1.6l caddy there is no hope for you.
