Charged for repairs not done!

Terrible experience! Took my car to the Bosch at *** towards the end of August 2026 for an oil and coolant leak. They are also affiliated with the same owners/staff of this Fourways branch.

They said that I needed to replace a timing chain tensioner which was the source of the oil leak - they charged me over R3000 to replace this part. A week later I took my car to a BMW specialist, and he showed me that they just used silicone to seal the old tensioner and did not replace the part. The owner and his son, Dryston Govender have been dismissive in all communication and are refusing refunds but have not provided any proof that they have replaced the part. The staff at Bosch even put a random tensioner (for the wrong engine model) in my boot to fool me into thinking that they replaced the tensioner in my engine!

The manager tells customers that the parts supp**** are Bosch OE parts, but they are supplying cheaper, non Bosch parts with drastic markups, around double the price and sometimes higher.

I was overcharged for every piece of work that was done on my car and **** to about most things. They send multiple bills every few days for items that do not even need to be replaced. Rather take your car to a reputable dealership where you will not be overcharged and taken advantage of.
