Vehicle Returned with Defects – MiWay Ignoring Complaints (Claim C***)

I lodged a claim (C***) with MiWay, and was referred to City Panelbeaters in Virginia, one of their “approved service providers.” From the start, the service was unprofessional, communication was poor, and I raised red flags during the repair process, yet MiWay's assessors remained uninvolved. Miway refers me to this sub-standard service provider the they disappear! Getting your vehicle fixed and dealing with the panelbeater became my job.

My vehicle was returned to me with multiple unresolved and new issues:

1. Missing antenna rubber

2. Shortened/faulty wheel arch rubber

3. Poor paint job on the fender

4. All four BF Goodrich tires had their white lettering removed or damaged — not from the accident, but from the panel shop’s work

5. No proof of “new door purchase” was ever supp****, despite promises

Despite being patient and trying my best to get assistance from Miway and sending them photos of the state in which I received my vehicle back from the service proved (since 7 July 2025), I’ve received no response or proper feedback. The "approved service provider" phoned me, told me that the antenna rubber will cost them R800 and offered to intall a home made part instead?!!!!! SHOCKING

I'ts been 7 weeks now, I have a damaged vehicle and Miway is ignoring my E-mails.

As a paying client, I expected better.

Just an update on my initial complaint. Well Miway is dragging this out and my vehicle is still not completely fixed. For all the future clients out there this is my warning to you: Expect Miway to take your monthly payments on time, everytime, but if it comes to getting your vehicle fixed it's something entirely different! Poor service! Bad Experience and NOT recommended to anyone! This is my first actual claim in almost 8 years and I'm having to drive around with a vehicle that isn't completely fixed and other damages caused by the very poor "approved service provider" aka backyard panelbeater.

Be very careful who you get as an insurance company for your valuable assest. you worked hard for it, don't let this sub-standard company insure it

Do yourself a favour and Google search Miway, on the google page under Miway results, Click "latest Comments", it should show you a page of the latest comments from clients but it will give you a "page not found", This is very suspicious, I bet there are plenty of unhappy clients just like me!
