Bad service and treatment
I am not happy at all with the quality of your work. My car is worse than when I brought it to your company (Automagic). They fixed the wrong side which is on the left but the accident was on the right and some parts are loose.
I am not happy at all with Automagic's service. I will have to spend another R650 for petrol and bring it here.
I am shocked and disappointed with the quality of work received from automagic

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and the inconvenience this has caused you.
We would like to assure you that the repairs completed on your vehicle were carried out strictly according to the quote authorised by your insurer. Unfortunately, the insurer’s initial quote reflected the incorrect side of the vehicle, which led to the misunderstanding. However, this error has already been addressed — the correct part has been requested, approved, and will be fitted as soon as it arrives.

09 Dec 2025, 12:21You can not blame the insurer when i brought the car for assessment you also took pictures and the side of the accident was on the right hand side not the left hand side. You did a lot of damage to my car and the scratches on the right hand side

09 Dec 2025, 12:40I am thinking of taking legal action against your bloemfontein branch because when he took pictutes he also ask me queations about the accident he can not blame the insurer because he took pictutes. How on earth did he fix the wrong side. It doesnt make sense at all and the refused to provide me with the invoice of the whole process. . Automagic is one of the worst panelbeater i have ever come across
