Extremely Disappointed With Nester’s Poor Service and Lack of Support

I am extremely disappointed with the service I’ve received from Nestar . I checked the app to make sure my tracking device was still functioning properly, and the app showed that everything was working fine. I had also stopped receiving notifications, such as alerts when the battery is removed, which already made me suspicious.

To be safe, I decided to call their support team to confirm whether the tracking device was actually working. That’s when I was informed that some of the installed units were not responding and that a technician would need to inspect the device. Shortly after, one of their agents contacted me and said the technicians would not be able to come out because I do not have a private or covered area for them to inspect the vehicle.

After that call, I heard absolutely nothing from them for an entire week. I then had to follow up myself and asked whether I could rather take the vehicle to their nearest fitment centre in Durban. To my surprise, I was told that I could not take it there because they were not the ones who originally did the fitment.

The lack of communication, poor customer service, and unwillingness to assist have been incredibly frustrating. What makes this even worse is that the app was misleading by showing that everything was functioning correctly when clearly there were issues with the units.

At this point, I am honestly just relieved that my contract is ending later this year because I definitely will not be continuing with them. I will rather look for a more reliable and professional service provider.

Reviewer Update
I am beyond frustrated and disappointed by the way this matter continues to be handled.

After posting my original complaint, I finally received a call from your team informing me that arrangements had been made for a technician to meet me at the closest fitment centre in Durban on 18 May at 14:00. Based on that confirmation, I took time off work and drove approximately 25km to the fitment centre, expecting that the issue would finally be resolved.
To my absolute disbelief, upon arriving there I was informed that the technician assigned to assist me was off duty.

I honestly cannot understand how a company can confirm an appointment with a customer and then fail to ensure that the assigned technician is actually available. This level of poor communication, disorganisation, and disregard for a customer’s time is unacceptable.

I waited for weeks for assistance, only to waste my time, fuel, and income for absolutely nothing. Not once did anyone contact me beforehand to inform me of any changes or cancellation. Had I not arrived there myself, I would never have known.

This experience has only made my confidence in your service even worse than before. At this point, it genuinely feels like customers are being ignored and pushed around instead of being helped.

I expect this matter to be taken seriously and resolved properly without any more excuses or wasted time.
