KL Car Services = Problems

I've had my car for just 3 months, a Citroen Picasso when one morning on my way to work just broke down. I got this man's nr from a friend. The man in question, Karel Havenga quoted me R8500 as the turbo and rockers were the apparent problem and some other parts. I paid him, on the day that he supposedly put everything together he called me and said the car has a bearing knock and this is very expensive to repair. An oil pump alone costs R6700. He then suggested that I buy another engine of R40,000. I told him I don't have that kind of money to fix the car and asked him to return the car and the money after he took out the parts he could return. After about 3 weeks he finally deposited the money and brought the car on a Sunday night at 21:30. We didn't believe this guy so we sent the car in to another mechanic. They quoted me R18000 to fix the the turbo, rockers, bearing knock, timing belt and those things. They contacted me and told me to come and see them asap as there's a problem. The previous mechanic, Karel didn't send back the old timing belt, gaskets and the tappet cover. The one injector was visibly hit with a hammer or damaged with something, and the one fuel rail that goes into that injector was broken off. I had no previous problems regarding the injectors or fuel system. I tried to call Karel, sending Whatsapp messages, emails to ask him to at least return the tappet cover and explain to me what happened to my injector and fuel rail. He didn't have the decency to respond to any of my messages or phone calls. #gatvol@BackYardMechanic pretending to be professionals. Im still struggling with this car as parts are expensive and very scarce. Him and his wife Heidi talk a big game. Think twice before taking your vehicles to these professional ******. You will deeply regret it.
