Minor Accident, Major Headache — Very Disappointing Service
The service we received from this business was, quite frankly, the worst we’ve ever experienced. My daughter’s vehicle was involved in a minor bumper bashing — so minor that the vehicle she collided with had no damage at all. Despite this, her vehicle sat with them from September 2025 and was only completed on 9 December 2025. The delays were completely unacceptable and resulted in additional, unnecessary expenses on our side to get my daughter to school, back home, and to her workplace for practical experience while we waited for the vehicle to be repaired. To make matters worse, their quote was four times higher than another reputable repairer I approached. Yet, our insurer insisted on using DME… one can only wonder why. It seems that many panel beaters today have shifted from being skilled repair professionals to simply becoming parts fitters, losing the true essence and craftsmanship of the trade. Unfortunately, this business reinforced that perception.

DME waste of money.
Perfect place to waste money. Sent our car there for hail damage to the roof. They charged us over 10k. We paid it. 3 weeks later went to pick up car. They removed the roof lining didnt even attempt to put it back. They used different colour plugs that were to small. The inside a pillar lining were removed by breaking the plugs that hold them. They then used black silicone to stick it back which was discovered on the way home when both fell off in the 10 min ride home. That we thought was the worst of it. When we got home we saw scratches on the mirrors so ine of those clowns couldnt drive and hit the wall. I didnt want to review them but a few months after the car started flaking on the paint and only on certain panels DME decided by the looks of it to strip the cars clear coat from roof to the doors for a roof repair. The cars paint is fine and as soon as you look at that same panel from the windows and up the paint is ruined. And also they made a hole in the roof for some reason which we only saw later when we started seeing rust from the damaged paint peeling off.

Bad treatment & bad service
I was involved in an accident on the 3rd of February 2023. My car was towed to DME autobody Vereeniging. It stayed there for about 3 months. When I finally got it back, it had some faults and I had to take it back. The person who was assigned to help me, Andries he ended up very rude to me and closed the trellidor on my face, shouting at me telling me that my car was eaten by rats. I then had to ask for the owner who came out very polite and committed that he will sort out my car. He is quite the opposite of his employee, he fixed the problem and even changed my brake pads for free, I just bought the brake pads & he didnt charge me for labour. After that the car came back with the dashboard message regarding the brake assist, I had to take it back and was told it will take a day. I took it back yesterday, Monday the 29th May. Around 15h30 I called to check when will I get it back, only then the rude Andries told me that they wont finish it same day. He didnt even had the decency to atleast make me aware that my car wont be back same day as promised. This morning I called to check what time can I get the car back, I have to go to work and I work in Pretoria. Andries was very rude and told me he cannot always call people about my car. I told him he should call to make follow up because its about 5months now they struggling with my car. As we speak I dont have a car and I was supposed to be at work. The treatment I got from Andries is so bad that it traumatized me more than the accident itself. I would like however, to thank the owner, the receptionist & the drivers who showed ubuntu & treated me with respect.

DME Autobody repairs-Pathetic
Absolutely pathetic, disappointing service. Took over a month just to have a bumper replaced. Every time I called it was a different story about why the job can't be done only to find that the part they were "waiting for" that supposedly caused the delay was never even replaced, so still no answer about the terrible delay. After expediting, the vehicle was returned with shoddy workmanship and when questioned about the repairs, the Quality Control manager berated us, shouting insults and the situation got so out of control that it almost led to an altercation. Absolutely unacceptable way to treat customers. It would appear that if you're of colour, you're sure to be shown that you're not welcome at this establishment. Even worse if you're female because then you'll be bullsh*d like you won't imagine. I will never use this workshop again and will advise everyone against it. I'm truly disappointed because I had a choice of panel beaters and really had hope for DME Auto but was very sadly disappointed :(

WORST EXPERIANCE EVER
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY My Vehicle went in to get the wrap off in September 2021 it has been the worst experiance i have ever had they tried taking it off with a sc****r and scratched all the paint off needless to say i still do not have it back. They called me late jan to fetch it when i arrived it looked ok untill i opened my vehicle they broke all the rubbers, they had missed spots, it had overspray on the roof, the handles inside were broken and mended with glue and all the bumpers were loose and not alighned it was disgusting, This is after Michael sent me a message to say how beautiful it is, i had to take it home because my lift had left already it ran perfectly, i took it back the next day left it there to get the inside and the rest of the damage fixed. Then 3 days later they said its ready its looks Beautiful again, so i went to fetch it, had a look, most of it was fixed till i get to the drivers door and the whole panel was loose, They said give them 5 min they will fix it 45 Min Later they bring my Vehicle and hand me the keys, i open the drivers door and they said they had to stick it with silicone and the duct tape was there to hold it on for now, i then started my vehicle and then felt the engine was not right and was skipping, the duct tape fell off and i still have not got my vehicle from them THEIR SERVICE IS DISGUSTING Michael has called back saying it will cost me 15K to fix saying it is wear and tear but my Mechanic also says it could be from standing for almost 5 months. This is a company vehicle and i have lost a lot of money.How this company runs is beyond me

Fantastic!
It's been a long time since I received service like this! Updates were sent on a daily basis, together with photos of my car and it's status. Staff were friendly and efficient. I would definitely recommend them and will definitely use them again in future.
