Terrible Service

Service here is absolutely atrocious! And there is a severe lack of integrity.

They wanted to bill 1.5 hours labour to open 2 bolts and then **** about work involved. When I called them out on that the owner got upset tried to insult me even using racial implications as apparently my type only drive ‘Nissan bakkies’.

I asked them to leave my car after which they proceeded to ‘not damage’ anything. The owner kept making jokes in Afrikaans where him and his worker collectively laughed.

Never use these ……..

I would never thought SAC would encourage a workshop like this to be part of the franchise.

I , Leon Engelbrecht, the  owner of SAC Alberton refuse to get involved with any customet that threatens  me over the phone("do you know who i am" was stated numerous times by the customer) and in****s me with racial comments. It is not true that we imp**** that your type drives Nissan 1440 bakkies. We used is as an example to explain the complexity of the repair. The quote that was given to repair the car was for 2 control arms and 2 x lower control arm bushes. When you arrived you gave the service advisor a steering knuckle and imp**** that it is just two bolt. We must just do it while we are busy. We requoted and you did not accept the quote. The car was handed back to you after you in****ed me over the phone and through racial comment around. I have proof on camera and sound track if someone is interested. I did not speak "Afrikaans" to you at any point as per video recording. Only spoke to my Afrikaans staff member about business related items.

Wow, more lies... You forget to mention, that was in response to your threat.. Care to listen to the call? I rejected the quote as your service advisor **** about the many parts that was required to be stripped and did not return to me with that list as promised (as they were none). The sudden realization that they could not trick me into paying additional labour was what led him and you to get angry and insult... Your reference to Nissan bakkies for apparent 'comparison' further displays your inability to deal with customers regardless of your insinuation.
You also refer to camera proof - Please do provide your camera proof, as they would display exactly what I say. You forget I recorded the convo and showed you this.. Again, Im happy to take this up legally especially considering the spiteful damage on my car. I'm sure your camera has your reaction to how you sarcastically referred to the damage done.

Whole matter would have been resolved with one phone call if there was no threats. I am sure you will find someone that can help you with your vehicle  and i am sure you will enjoy your vehicle after it is repaired.  All the best for the future and enjoy your car.

Again, I made no threats, I responded to them and happy to present these legally. I’m not sure how this could be condoned but happy to report on facts after we settle this legally.

No furhter comment as I was accused of damaging your car in comment on 8 april 2022 at 08h49am.  Photos taken of car while doing pre inspection on lift proves otherwise. Please keep in mind that your threats was made in front of two of my staff members in the parking area.

Photos are limited to what you took. Anyone can take photos after damage. Recall Eugene promised pictures before the incident and I got none. Also the 2 staff members involved are the same ones you used when belittling in Afrikaans, so do bring them along as I'm sure any lawyer find it easy to extract the correct info. You love referring to my threats - my threat was that of legal action, so I will stand by it, yours was otherwise - please be honest and have just a little integrity.

Proof - wow good luck!
Its the threats of violence made by yourself is the one we need to worry about.
