Another theft at Renew-It Rivonia ... Management couldn't be bothered.

I am very disappointed in Renew-It Rivonia. On collecting my car, I realized that the cars integrated GPS SD card (valued at +-R10 000) was missing. It turns out that it had been ****** by one of their staff. I was told that an investigation would be held whereby they would check camera footage to determine who was in the car in order to find the *****. This was 14 March.

Since then, I have not had a single call back to advise me on the status of the investigation or to offer me a replacement. I have had to call countless times and even visit the branch myself to see Clinton Sampson, the Operations Director. After not receiving feedback, I went to go see Clinton on the 26th of March. He told me there was only 5 hours of footage left to go through and that he would get back to me once that was done. He did not get back to me as promised, so I called on the 5th of April, left a message, and was assured that he would get back to me. He did not. It is now the 9th of April.

It has now been about a month since the theft occurred. My cars entertainment system and GPS is not operational without that GPS SD card. I am very disappointed in this company. Seems like theft is common at Renew-It Rivonia if you read the reviews and management couldn't care less. Can you entrust your car with them? Who knows what other parts are ******/replaced whilst your car is with them, as it seems there are no consequences for these thefts. Can you also risk dealing with a company that has this level of customer service? If things go wrong, this is the kind of treatment you can expect. Very unprofessional for a company as large as this. Fortunately, I pay for a legal service and have contacted them so that they can assist me with recovering the item or it's value from Renew-It Rivonia. I will also be writing a complaint to my insurance, citing the reviews on Hello Peter. I will also be writing to the Ombudsmen to file an official complaint. Totally disgusted by the leadership at that branch. Do not deal with them!

Reviewer Update
Update: 14 days later and I haven't heard a thing. Nothing was escalated. No one got back to me. Their Hello Peter responses are generic responses written to create the impression that they are customer centric, which they are not. They are money centric. Once they have your money, they do not care about you. Companies such as this should not be in business. Hopefully word will spread and it will affect their bottom line. I am now R7500 out of pocket after replacing the SD card myself. It is important to note that they did not involve the police at all during this incident. That says a lot. The ***** got away scot-free and is still in their employ waiting to ***** from another customer. Do not support these *******s. The only thing Mr Clinton Sampson is a professional at is lying and leading customers on. Take a look at all the other reviews where his name is mentioned.
