Apprehensive about Renew It

Hi, I see fantastic reviews on here for Renew it, but I unfortunately do not have the same experience. I am anxious and not feel positive about the current state of affairs. I have had 3 conflicting statements from my insurance and renew It staff members. I have left messages to call me back which remains unanswered. Due to the conflicting versions I requested pictures of my vehicle which were not produced. Sms updates are not reliable and does not provide correct feedback. I haven't received an sms update for two weeks in any event. I am going through an extremely difficult time at the moment due to cancer. The lack of, transparency and feedback from Renew it Bedfordveiw, ads to my anxiety and stress wich is not a healthy situation. I will also lodge a complaint with my insurer as they should have feedback relating to their service providers and experiences from the public. I am not someone to easily complain or to name and shame but surely customer concerns should be addressed. I cannot shake the feeling that something is not right with my car. I would like Renew It to take ownership, be honest, and advise. For the other posts I can see that they have the ability to render great customer service and to turn one star into five. Why are some customers getting that treatment and others not? I also want to be one of the people that leaves a positive review. At this stage I cannot.

I received confirmation that my vehicle is in panelbeating, with photographs from Phindy. I was advised that I can expect the next update on Monday. The air is cleared and we are moving forward. Thanx for assisting in opening the communication channels. If things go smoothly from now on I will delete this review and replace it with several more stars.

It's been 6 weeks and I still do not have my car, parts were ordered 3 weeks ago. Turns out that it's the wrong stuff. It could have been established when the parts arrived already, or at the latest when assembly started last week Wednesday. I was advised that I would have my car today after I was informed of the parts issue and after I explained my dilemma. Now they say they did not receive the whole thing and I will not get my car today. I have a logistical problem now as I do not have my temporary transport anymore and I do not have the funding to rent a car to go to work tomorrow. I had a lift for today to take me to Bedfordview . I feel that the workshop is useless and that poor Phindy doesn't know what story to spin me anymore, she herself sounded disappointed about the latest developments. I personally feel that if the workshop picked it up sooner, or if they were competent enough to order the correct part from the initial assessment, this would not have happened and I would not sit in this predicament right now. My journey with Renew It Bedfordview was going well after my initial complaint, but now it's back to square 1. I am trying to stay calm but it is a difficult situation I am in now. I hope the workmanship is 100% when I finally get my car. I really needed it today. It is so disappointing. Things were going well.

I don't need to know that. I just need an exact date and time when my car will be ready so that I can make plan. Knowing when you get the correct part does not give me any indication.
