BAD SERVICE - NO BUSINESS ETIQUET
<p>Bought a Colt Rodeo 2.8 TD from Atlantic Motors in Bellville end April 2017.<br />Tested the vehicle and mentioned a few thing wrong and also had our own machanic there to double check .<br />Noise in the engine possilby need to get a oil change if not then the cam chain needs to be inspected.<br />On receiving the vehicle we noticed that most of the things was not done but needed the vehicle after waiting a week for the faults to be sorted.<br />On use the weekend we discovered a few things and notified the sales person Uwe.<br />It was then arranged that the vehicle we taken in. On starting the following morning NO START - as the starter gave problems from the start.<br />Vechile was then fetched at our premises by Atlantic motors as there was no way to get this vechile there. ( 2 days later.<br />We were told that the bakkie will be ready by 4 pm Friday when we got the the machanic they told us 4 pm. When we got there they only started replacing the starter.<br />On starting the bakkie _ NO POWER - we then got told its the battery we must just drive it again as the LED light used to much of the battery power.<br />The following morning NO START - Had to jumpstart - sales person was notified.<br />Took the bakkie to get the battery tested and to no amu*****t - REPLACE BATTERY - as per battery centre .<br />On returning the bakkie for the breaks and the battery and all the other things to be finalized we were asked 3 day to keep the bakkie, they got a week.<br />Driving again over the weekend NO BREAKS and lucky for my husband advanced driving s****s managed to keep bakkie on the road. I phone Freddie and told him what has happened and said that he is playing with peoples lifes..... " your husband need to learn how to drive" was his words to me. I got furious over the phone as this is the way we are treated now, knowingly there are things wrong on the bakkie.<br />On thaking the bakkie back they found a fault on the breaks and the now the aircon pump also need to be replaced.<br />On driving the bakkie again the weekend we need to pump the brakes - Now the owner Charles Ackerman is claiming that we are not to take the bakkie to our own machanic ( maybe because he might find more faults)<br />I have now contacted the Consumer protector and is awaiting their response.<br />I waited for a full month to get my registration papers from Atlantic motors after the disk expired !!! <br />I am now going to ask for the roadworthy certificate as well as this is my next headache</p>
