I believe in their service but they let me down

On the 5th November 2017 I had a mechanical problem with a car as it did not want to go to gear 1. I called Budget insurance to assist in towing the car and we agreed with the consultant that it will be towed to the nearest dealer which was The Glen mall. The car had a small dent in the front, I don’t know who decided to take the car Renew It penal beaters. When it was realized that the car was sent to Renew It by mistake no one wanted to take responsibility in terms of releasing a car to the dealer. 13 November 2017 the car was finally released from Renew It. 15 November 2017 I called the dealer to check on the progress of the car and I was informed that the front bumper is messed up, it has straches. I called to inform Budget insurance of the situation, I was advised to write an email and direct it to ********** for investigation. The investigation was done and it shows that the damages were done by Renew it on the car and was advised to contact my insurance Budget. Since Monday the 27 November 2017 I have been sent from pillar to post no one is directin me to the correct Department for assistance. I want my car to fixed that is what I am asking. I am highly disappointed with Budget insurance as I trusted the insurance to help me when I needed help. I regret signing up with this insurance. Simple task tow the car to dealer and they decided to take it where they want without reading why is the car there. I want my car to be fixed so that I can part ways with Budget because I am not an important customer to them. Going forward I will write to Insurance ombudsman reporting this matter. Bad bad service from Budget insurance.

Update:

As discussed with our Customer Relation Specialist, we sincerely apologise for what transpired. When you had the mechanical failure and the vehicle was towed to the dealership, the vehicle was supposed to be left at the dealer and not towed to one of our repairers. When the vehicle was delivered at the repairer, they have stripped the bumper to establish the damages, which was also not necessary as you did not lodge a claim for the dent in the bumper.

As agreed, we are giving the matter urgent attention, further feedback will be provided to you shortly.

Kind Regards,
The Budget Insurance Team

I am extremely disappointed the way this matter is being handled. On the 30 November 2017 Gabriel Nadioo from Renew It called to say they will fix the car and I told him it’s at the dealer and he promised that he will get his guys to go there and fix it. I went to fetch the car on the 06 th December 2017 and the car was not fully fixed. I called on the 7 December 2017 and reported the matter to Budget again and I was called again by Gabriel the rude and *********** manager whom we agreed that he will send his guy by my place to fix the yard because I made it clear that I don’t want them taking my car to the yard because of way they work. I told I do not trust that you will bring my car back in time and safe. In the afternoon a manager by the name of Many came to my place with the driver Reggie, Many apologies for what has happened and explained to me that they can’t fix the car at my yard because certain equipment are at their workshop. He said I should trust him as they testing this matter as an urgent case and they are aware ofhteir mistake. We agreed that they will fetch the car tomorrow morning to their workshop and before the end of day they bring it back. I decided to trust him and they came in the morning went with the car. Today is the 9 December 2017 my car is not back. I phoned Renew It to ask for Many and I am told he is not at work, Gabriel and Reggie are also not at work. I don’t have any feedback as why my car is not back as promised. I called Budget to report the matter Ms Smith as she is the one assist me, I am told she don’t not work weekends which understand, I then ask ask for anyone who can assist I. Telling Renew It to release or give me a feedback at what is going on to my dissapontment there is no manager that is working. I did ask Budget before that they assign any other penal beater to fix my car or I take it to my penal beater who will fix then Renew it will pay for any amount charged simply because I can see they don’t want to take responsibility of the messed they made on my car. Who know maybe they twist the car wires and I burn on the car or they set to cause and accident. I am very very disappointed. Renew it Randburg is a *********** business who do not treat their customers with respect and I feel Budget insurance is not doing enough to tell Renew It to fix this mess they have done on my car. I pay Budget Insurace every month without fail but they let Renew It abuse me like this. I waste my airtime calling and reporting but I don’t get proper help only lies after lies. Monday I will have to call again with my airtime to and be promised more lies.

It’s Monday today the 11 December 2017 back from Work and my car is still not back, no sms or a phone call explaining the delay. I call Saturday to ask ask about the car no one is returning my call. I am not sure if they are waiting for me to call and again and ask. My car insurance Budget did not call either to find out the progress or return my call sinced o called Saturday. I am utterly disappointed which the service I am receiving from both Renew It and Budget insurance. I joined Budget insurance because they have around for quite some time and thought they are reliable little did I know that I am paying for stress when in trouble they disappear. Anyone who can assist me in escalating this matter to Renew It ombudsman because I cant find anything on goggle where I can report this *********** Randburg branch because my insurance does not want to asssit me in this mess they got me into.
