Very expensive

My microwave was making a funny noise and I took it to LDS, I then paid R230 qoutation fee upon dropping it off.

A lady called me on the weekend to inform me of the cost of the repairs and when to pick it up. I told her, I had not accepted the qoute yet and if she could forward me the qoutation so I know what it is that was wrong as she could not explain it to me.

She stated that she would call me again on Monday when she had spoken to the technician, when I got a call the Monday they informed me that the microwave was ready for pickup and I had to pay an additional R583.

At that point they told me they had changed a lightbulb and the inner screen of the microwave ( that plastic sleeve on the inside of the door). So I paid R813 for a new light bulb and plastic sleeve.

As I type this, the bulb is no longer working. It only worked for only two months.🤷🏾♂️

So instead of being transparent and stating to customers that the minimum amount payable on any job is R813, they would rather list a whole lot of unnecessary tests “conducted”, which were never part of the scope to begin with.
