Goldwagen Welkom. Selling faulty spares

I took my bmw to Welkom to service center. They checked and found water pump were leaking. They phoned Goldwagen Welkom, got a new water pump with a new housing and a new thermostat. It took like an hour and Goldwagen brought the spares to the service center. I were standing with the owner and mechanic at my car when they fitted everything. When filled with coolant you could see water dripping from thermostat. They removed it and you had to look very carefull to see their is a fine crack in the thermostat housing. They called Goldwagen Welkom immediatly. That whas like half an hour when they deleived it to the shop it were found to be faulty. They sent the same person to come and picked it up their. But now you have to buy a other one and pay for the new one and wait for feedback from them. It has been like 2 weeks now. Now goldwagen Welkom phones me, i can come and pic up the thermostat and report but they wont be refunding me. How do they get away of selling faulty products? I've supported Goldwagen over the years. But receiving faulty products from them to the service center and like they were phoned back like in half an hour time and reported that the thermostat were faulty. Just to tell you sorry they wont be refunding me. Be carefull, i see now the other review's. It looks like they sent out faulty parts with No regard to their customers

+*** Ask for Jaco. He phoned me this morning to tell me what great service Gopdwagen head office is giving their clients. Atleast you get a Sorry ne. That Jaco guy were dealt with the buying of spares, he sent it to the service center and he got it picked up again and sent the thermostat away for testing to Goldwagen head office. And he is the one that phoned me this morning. And again in half n hour of receiving the spares from goldwagen it was found that the thermostat is faulty. And he was phoned. But again now you have to buy another one to get your car fixed. That is very nice from Goldwagen. But again after redading some of reviews it looks really like Goldwagen doesnt care of their clients. You can contact them I think that the answer will be the same

14:53 got a phone call from Goldwagen Welkom. They just want me to know they sent the part back again to head office and again they sent it back to Goldwagen welkom. Again just sorry the claim is not good. It is today 28 Jul. Goodwagen is sending out faulty parts! And after you report it on social media they respond with a automated message. The same that they do with every person that write about them. 25days after they said they will get back to me shortly. Be carefull of Goldwagen Head office. They do not care about their clients! All they care about is your money. Jaco from Goldwagen welkom phoned me again and he knew it was half an hour after goldwagen delevered the part to the service center, that they found it to be faulty. But you get a sorry ne. I told him I dont care anymore, but I wont be removing their nice review that people atleast can be warned of the **** Goldwagen is running on their clients.
