Kiwikot - be cautious to use an "approved kwikot installer"

I was having issues with my geyser and called Kwikot. Kwikot referred me onto one of their "preferred installers" namely Geyser Specialists. They were very quick to come to my house, replace my geyser and charge me close to R8000 for this installation. Firstly they placed the geyser too close to the roof so they could not ***** the plastic grey cover back in place. Secondly, they insisted they replace my "old faulty" and apparently incorrect 400kpa pressure valve and charged me for a new ****PA pressure valve (to match my geyser). They installed a 400KPA pressure valve. I have been trying since September to get Geyser Specialist to rectify this, yet no response. I have also contacted and spoken to Johan Coetzee and Andre Cilliers at Kwikot who ensured me they will assist to get this resolved as it is one of their installers. Yet no response and no resolve to this issue.

Well, is someone still looking into this? A week later....? Alfred called me last week Thursday night and we was very persistent to ensure that we set up that he would be there on Saturday at 10:00am to fit the valve himself. Well, guess what - Saturday morning 9:30 he calls to cancel and reschedule for Tuesday at 10:30. So I take half a days leave off work and make sure I'm at home and well.......I'm still waiting. I confirmed with him at 7:37am this morning with his respond to say "I will give you a shout at 10 today, yes will definitely be there" he still hasn't pitched and hasn't bothered to call me or even let me know he's not coming. Kwikot, this is the type of "approved" contractors you are associating with your brand - WELL DONE!!

Hi Alfred, I live in a security estate. If you or your boys were at the gate as you claim, the security would call me, my wife or our third contact to say someone is at the gate to come to our stand number. I will question security when I get home this evening as they will have a record of anyone trying to enter the estate. We received no such call and as mentioned, I was at home all morning waiting. Why did you not call me on my cell phone, or ensure security called me to say you're sitting at the gate, or even send me a message? ill tell you why, because you were not there. And, if you allow your boys or yourself to sit around doing nothing for "5 hours or 3 hours waiting" it clearly shows you cannot manage your business properly. Its been lies and excuses since the 7 September when you did the work. Its taken nearly 3 months for this to be resolved and its still not resolved.
