This happened to our elderly mother and I don’t want it happening to someone else. Her car broke down and was towed by her insurance company directly to this dealership. She was told diagnostics were done and quoted R347,411 for a new engine. We paid R4,830 for diagnostics. The report we received was extremely basic and didn’t include any readings or proper technical findings. We then took the car to an independent mechanic. He replaced two parts — the thermostat and oil cooler — flushed the system, and the car was back on the road for R28,554.50. It’s been fine ever since. We raised concerns with management and asked for a refund of the diagnostic fee and an apology. We never received a response to our final letter. Posting this purely in the interest of consumer awareness.

My elderly mother’s Opel Mokka broke down in November 2025 and was towed by her insurance company directly from the breakdown site to this dealership. She was later quoted R347,411 for a full engine replacement, based on what we were told were completed diagnostics. We paid R4,830 for the diagnostic report. What we received was a short written summary by a service advisor, with no fault codes, readings, or technician documentation. Concerned, we took the car to an independent mechanic. He replaced a thermostat and oil cooler, flushed the system, and returned the car to full working order for R28,554.50. The vehicle has been running normally since. We raised this with dealership management and asked for an apology and refund of the diagnostic fee. Our final correspondence received no response. Posting this so other consumers, especially elderly ones, know to seek a second opinion before approving major repairs.

During service they dont even adjust the handbreak which was annothter bad experience with them. NO MORE TAKING OR BUYING FROM THAT DEALER. I love ISUZU but this KEY DEALER RIPPED ME OFF SERIOUS NOT HAPPY.
