On 17 February 2026, I took my vehicle to Scratch and Dent Panelbeaters to have the roof resprayed and to repair several scratches and dents. Unfortunately, the agreed work was not completed to any acceptable standard, and in many cases, it appears the work was not done at all. From the beginning, I was concerned that Noel, the owner, refused to provide a written quotation and insisted on cash payment. Despite this, I proceeded, which I now deeply regret. Two days later, I was informed that my vehicle was ready for collection and found it parked at the Tiger Wheel & Tyre Ballito branch. Upon inspection, it was immediately clear that the work I was charged R4,000 for had not been properly completed. When I raised these concerns, Noel responded by verbally attacking me in front of other customers, shouting and using extremely inappropriate language. When I later went into his office to resolve the matter and collect my vehicle, the verbal abuse continued. As an elderly woman, I found this treatment not only disrespectful but deeply distressing. I was further shocked to learn from the manager at Tiger Wheel & Tyre that they were assisting Noel by allowing him to park vehicles on their premises. After this experience, I reviewed his business online and found numerous complaints from other customers describing similar behavior and poor workmanship. I strongly advise others to avoid this business. My experience was unacceptable in terms of both service delivery and basic human decency.

I was verbally abused and physically threatened by Noel when questioning panel alignment which is way out and told its normal. It is definately not. He was unbelievably hostile and aggressive and swore at me relentlessly. He offered to give me back my money and would damage my car in the process. I didn't want that, I just wanted him to straighten the panel he repaired. Do yourself a favour, avoid the headaches, verbal abuse and threats of assault. Go though your insurance. A NO invoice, cash only type of business.

Terrible experience. The owner Noel changed the pick up time of the vehicle numerous times and then swore at me and my employees. Would not recommend taking anything to him to fix.

<p>The owner Noel at Ballito Scratch and Dent does not care about the final fit of your repaired vehicle. Despite claiming to be an approved repair shop for Audi vehicles it is not. Clips were left off the installation of a brand new Audi bumper, the installation was done incorrectly and never rectified. Full payment was made for the work completed. Audi appraised the vehicle and said due to the shoddy work the vehicle was worth R12000 Rands less. When I told Noel I would write a negative review he threatened me.</p> <p> </p> <p>DO NOT USE BALLITO SCRATCH AND DENT FOR YOUR VEHICLE REPAIR IN BALLITO</p>
