My vehicle was towed into Haval Cape Gate on 23 March. As of 23 April, the only meaningful progress is that the required parts were ordered only a few days ago, with an estimated 6–8 weeks delivery time. This means I have already been without my vehicle for a month, with potentially several more months ahead. The biggest issue is the complete lack of clear diagnosis and communication. I have been told multiple, contradictory stories: - Initially it was a top gasket - Then it was the turbo - Then only the water cooler - Now the plan is to replace the water cooler as a first step, after which further testing can only begin once the part arrives — in 6–8 weeks If additional faults are found, I am told this could mean another 6–8 week wait for parts, again. There is no proper diagnostic plan, no transparency, and no cer*****y at any stage. I have received different versions of events from different managers, which clearly shows poor internal coordination. Communication is non-existent unless I constantly chase for updates. There is no proactive feedback, no timelines, and no ownership of the situation. To make matters worse, I was promised a courtesy vehicle over two weeks ago, which has still not materialised. This promise has been repeated and then ignored. At this point, I genuinely have no idea whether this repair will cost R12,000 and take four more weeks, or R100,000 and take six more months. That level of uncer*****y is completely unacceptable. If I had the option, I would collect my vehicle and take it elsewhere immediately. This is, without exaggeration, the worst service experience I have ever had from any service provider. For context: this is a 2020 Haval with just over 100,000 km and a full service history. Blown gaskets and major failures at this mileage, combined with this level of after-sales support, raise serious concerns about both product reliability and dealer competence. I will never recommend Haval or Haval Cape Gate to anyone. There is no customer focus, no urgency, no accountability, and no appreciation for the impact this situation has on a client’s life. Avoid Haval. Avoid Haval Cape Gate.

4 months ago my vehicle was in for a service and the person at Haval said they had to order break discs from Joburg, which they said would take 3-5 days to deliver. I phoned them a couple of times and every time they say they will let me know. Well yes, I haven't received a single phone call from them yet and still waiting for the break discs 4 months later. This is by far the worse experience I have received from any car dealer.

We had such a bad experience with the workshop this morning. We've been calling them and trying to schedule a service for our car for the past 2 and a half months, due to parts. We finally got an appointment for 11 March and we were told the parts have arrived. This morning after being (what I assume is over booked) they have me drop the car, do inspection, book my Uber to get home. Only to arrive home 20min later to be told that I must come fetch the car, there's a part that hasn't arrived and the car cannot be serviced. It was very unprofessional, especially because there was another car also for a major service who was not told they needed to reschedule. It is disheartening because now I need to reschedule my Uber for work to go back to Haval to get my car. It is unprofessional and they don't understand the financial implications they cause, without a sincere apology for "their error".

Haval Cape Gate is the worst place to service your car in. They are so ***********, irritating and full of bad service. Take your car there at your own risk. I'm so disgusted by Haval Cape Gate. Took my car in for a service now they telling me they can't finish the service today because a specialist that's needed is on leave and I can only get my car back Friday. For three days I won't have a car including New Year's Day. I regret taking my car to those *********** people.
