Riverhorse valley poor service!!!!!

Bought the car on Wednesday at we buy cars riverhorse. Once driving the car home it got approximately 3km from the depot and broke down. On the journey home the car broke down at least 10+ times. Called the agent and informed him of the issue that what they said was a heat sensor was way more serious! One the car report there was no such issue reported as well. On the test drive it never picked up as well (have a witness to it as well). I was then asked to try bring it back to the branch (knowing very well that the chances of breaking down again he asked me that). Eventually said he'll arrange for it to be collected on the Thursday and I'll be refunded in full. Its now Friday and the car was bought on Wednesday. Still waiting for it to be collected which I was told that it will be at 8am. Its now 9am have a recording of the conversation too.

Phoned the customer care yesterday as well and at that point my frustration was through the roof! I asked for the recording which is my legal right to have and was told she cant and I need to request it from their supervisors which needs to run via their lawyers!

This whole experience has been a complete nightmare! I want the vehicle collected immediately and for my refund to be made ASAP! Your buyer and mechanical team need to be reprimanded for the lack of responsibility and SOP of what your service and their job requires! Absolutely disgusting. Furthermore your constant annoying calls for a maintenance place that i said I dont want and didn't give consent to calling me is not on! There is a thing called the popi act which you have absolutely no problem with following!

The dekra report is missing a few things as well. I've just spoken to a few people who have had the same issue and I will be approaching Carte Blanche about the way you do business! This response does not resolve my situation nor does it give me answers!

Furthermore when asking to speak to a manager of the branch they say that they cant give you their number nor transfer the call! That's the customer service that we have to deal with! Absolutely disgusting!!!

4 days now and have had this 1 response and you have contacted me once! Unacceptable! I've asked for a follow-up and I've received nothing! Your company is extremely *********** and has no disregard for its customers!

6 days have went by and I've been **** to, misguided and have had minimal feedback after numerous attempts at getting answers! Shows a lack of accountability and responsibility on we buy cars behalf. The level of professionalism is non existent and shows what they think of the end consumer which is non existent as well!!! To all reading this i suggest going elsewhere for business! The lie, show no interest in your needs etc.

I find myself once again dealing with incompetence with you again but better yet being the sales manager Theo at riverhorse we buy cars. His level of unprofessionalism is astounding! Sihle at customer care has showed her lack of understanding and care to the importance of the situation as well! Jhavid the sales person has just no clue and I understand why due to the lack of support from management! This has become a huge nightmare and the lack of accountability and responsibility from all parties is disgusting! When you ask for management you get **** to about who is a manager in customer care. Poppy claimed to be a manager and I found out that she is just a customer care agent! I've asked for management contact with the branch managers and was ignored and told that the cant transfer.

I refuse to be played for a fool!!! Action needs to be taken!
