VERY UNHAPPY
Dear MFC,
Last week Tuesday the 13-03-2018 I took my vehicle to Auto Glen BMW for repairs. I forwarded my MFC Advanced Extended & Pre-Owned Warranty to the Service Consultant; Franscois Van Rensburg at Auto Glen BMW.
Upon doing diagnosis on my vehicle multiple faults were found - and a quote with the faulty components listed was sent through for assessment and approval: REF WIP Number: 34822.
The quote was approved for only R 8999 from the quote that amounted to R 63 068.01.
I called the Innovation Group to establish how they had come to that conclusion that my claim should only be approved for the R 8999, and I was given the run around.
My vehicle was standing at Auto Glen BMW until Tuesday 20-03-2018 where I had to pay R 2228.47 to get my vehicle released because the Warranty I have don’t want to pay for the claim. I can’t comprehend that I have a valid warranty with a valid claim as all components listed below are covered but, my service provider refuse to pay?
I feel very betrayed by MFC for not honouring their side of the agreement, this experience really left a bad taste in my mouth. I can’t believe such a big organisation can treat their clients with such disrespect.
From my understanding in my contract I signed with MFC I came across the following:
