WORST AFTER SALES ASSITANCE

WORST AFTER SALES ASSITANCE

I have reached peak frustration at this stage as I have tried numerous times to get aftersales service from THE GENERATOR KING.

I enquired on 12.12.2022 about faulty handles that needs to be replaced on a new generator bought from The Generator King. Keep in mind the generator was delivered 18.11.2022 in Cape Town and installed by The Generator Kings preferred installer on 21.11.2022. Due to the door handles malfunctioning the doors don’t close properly and when Cape Town weather strikes i.e., the wind is at a speed of 65 km/h and raining 100 %, the generator is soaked and full of dirt inside. Numerous photos have been sent to the supplier as evidence.

No one from The Generator King has responded with a solution with regards to this matter. Numerous emails have been sent to every email address on their website. Calling them on their landline is a joke. Only the sales department answers the phone of course.

My company has bought numerous Generators at this place thinking it would be a trustworthy business to have a professional relationship with as we are in the Energy sector. Generators of this caliber and the logistics that accompany it is an expensive exercise. Especially in this climate.

One would argue that you do not only pay for the product but for the assistance as well. Never in my life have I struggled this much to receive aftersales service after purchasing a product.

I WILL NOT REFER ANY OF MY CLIENTS TO THIS PLACE NOR WILL I EVER AGAIN MAKE USE OF THIS COMPANY – I WILL INDEFINITE TAKE MY BUSINESS SOMEWHERE ELSE AND I RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE LOOKING TO PURCHASE GENERATORS.
