Moving to Netstar? Bad idea.

If I could, I’d give this review 0 stars. I had opted to move to Netstar because of the panic button and tags they offer for increased safety but is it even worth it at this point? I became a Netstar customer on the 14th of September and two technicians came to my house to install my tracker. Once installed, the tracker was not showing me the correct location on the MyNetstar app. It was showing my car’s location as Boksburg. I stay nowhere near Boksburg. The technician then told me to drive around for a bit with the car to charge the tracker. I did so and it was still showing me the incorrect location. The next morning I drove to the stores and ran errands and it still showed the incorrect location. Due to this, I called Motoradio (Germiston) to inform them of the issue with the tracker. They told me to call Netstar, which I did, and Netstar told me to call Motoradio. Already that back and forth and the unprofessionalism annoyed me but I called Motoradio and they sent the technicians out again to take out the tracker and install a new one. After installing the new one, I was still experiencing the same issue with my location being wrong and not updating. This time, it would show that my car is on the highway when it’s sitting at home. When I do drive it out, it will show the wrong location. What is the point, in that case?

I’ve only been a customer for a week but I’m fed up with the daily calls I have to make. I want my contract with this company rescinded.

At what point will a trained consultant make contact with me? I’ve been a client of yours for a mere 11 days and it has been 11 days of misery. Calling daily regarding my issue which is nowhere near resolved. Does that not sound ridiculous?

I’ve honestly had it. Assist me with rescinding my contract rather. Expeditiously. 🙏🏽

For the third time, ANOTHER technician was sent from head office. He changed the unit two days ago and now, not only is my location not showing, my car does not show up on the My Netstar app at all. The screen and map is greyed out and it states that I’m on the Netstar Nano package whereas I’m on Early Warning.

What gives?
At what point will you guys just listen because I’m UNHAPPY!!!! I’ve never been so annoyed. Jeez.

Someone just called me from your customer service centre. I asked if he is calling regarding my issue. He said no, he is just calling to confirm my details and said he will transfer me to someone who can assist me with my issue. That person then went on to hang up on me without saying a word.

Is that the type of business you are running?

Glad someone’s pleased. Doesn’t change the fact that I’m unhappy with your service or the fact that I had to jump through hoops to have my issue sorted.

Your service remains incredibly undesirable. 🙏🏽
