******* Mechanic

Definitely a ******* mechanic. We dropped my sons car off to check why his car was overheating suspecting a blown head gasket without knowing much about car engines. The next day Neil from The Motor Guru sent me a whatsapp with a document confirming a head gasket test. Said my son and I needed to come in to discuss his quote. When we got there the quote was R33 000 for a blown head gasket and a number of other things. After discussions he made out to be doing us a big favour to reduce the quote to R23 000. Something felt off so we said we wanted to think about it. After chatting to a few friends we decided to go to a different provider. The new mechanic checked the car and confirmed the head gasket was NOT blown. He replaced a faulty fan switch and it cost us R900 including labour!! Seems for some people dishonesty pays so it's super important to be vigilant as consumers.
