Took my car in to be diagnosed last week, Thursday, 26 March 2026, at The Automatic Gearbox Center in Johannesburg. Till today, they have not done anything. When you call them, they say they will return your call, but never do. This must be the worst repair shop I have taken my car to; just to diagnose and give a quote takes more than 3 days without any updates. It's appalling, to say the least, about this center.

I recently had my Ford Ecosport's gearbox repaired by Mayfair Gearbox, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, their service was professional, transparent, and of the highest quality. The team provided excellent and continuous communication, keeping me updated throughout the entire process. They conducted a thorough assessment and provided a clear, detailed failure report that accurately diagnosed the issue. The repair work itself is flawless. My gearbox now feels like new—smooth, quiet, and shifting perfectly. It's a night-and-day difference. Despite the immense stress I was facing with my insurance company refusing to pay the claim, the team at Mayfair Gearbox were a source of reliability and expertise. They stood by their work and their diagnosis. A huge thank you to Jannie, Chantal, and the entire management team for your outstanding service and for honouring your one-year warranty. You have a customer for life. If you have any gearbox issues, look no further—this is the only place to go. Highly recommended!

At BFN specifically: Never take your vehicle to this place. They overcharge and DO NOT FIX the problem. We went there and they quoted us a ridiculous price and het took the bait. Not only did they scratch my car, bent my break covers, and bumped my car, a worse sound started occurring straight after their "fix". The car went back in for the sound but the sound persisted to this day. The car is still leaking oil, which it went in originally for. If there was a zero star option they would have gotten it. Stay clear from this place as I see that I am not the only one that were essentially ****med by the mechanics. For someone paying close to R70k to fix a car, it had to be better than new but this was just not the case.

A special thank you to Sharon Govendor a woman with a golden heart and an angel on earth. If you have gearbox issues don’t hesitate call them and they keep you up to date as and when the parts ordered, arrive and how far your car is.

Dear Sir/Madam. I am writing to lodge a formal complaint against Mayfair Gearbox Bloemfontein for delay in the repair of my vehicle which has now been in their possession for 5 month now with no meaningful progress or communication. I initially took my vehicle to their workshop on Monday, 27 January 2025, at which point i was informed - via phone call from a staff member, Charles - that the vehicle could not be attended to the same day due to a busy workshop. I agreed for it to remain overnight, trusting that it would be prioritised when the workshop is free in order to attend my car. However, the vehicle remained untouched for 2 weeks and several days, and no updates were provided until I initiated follow-up contact myself. On the 17th February 2025 they issued a quotation, which i accepted for total amount of R68,260,88 and they told me they need 70% out of total amount of R68,260, 88 in order to start the job. On same day 17th February 2025 i explain to them i have policy with Innovation Group that cover the gearbox and i also provide them with my full details to start claim to the policy. I waited almost 3 weeks with no respond from Mayfair Gearbox Bloemfontein about policy claim. On 5 March 2025 i got an Email from Innovation Group for Authorisation letter claim :904263 that says they will only Authorise: R 12,500.01. The next day on 6 March 2025 also got massage from Mayfair Gearbox Bloemfontein that says: "innovation only authorized R12,500,01 what makes the difference is R55,760,87 a 70% deposit is required before part are ordered. (70% from R55,760,87 = R39 032,61). On 15 April 2025 i manage to pay 70% R39,0000. The following day on 16 April 2025 i got message from Charles saying " parts are ordered and torque converter is ready for collection. I’m just waiting availability from supplier". What followed has been an exhausting and unacceptable experience: I received no proactive updates; I had to initiate every single follow-up. It took 3 months to learn that required parts had not been delivered - a fact only disclosed after my repeated inquiries. Till today I haven't received no further updates. I once again had to initiate contact myself, only to be met with an indifferent response that lacked accountability or apology. This pattern of negligence, poor communication, and lack of professional courtesy is unacceptable. The attitude of the staff gives the impression that they are doing me a favour, rather than providing a paid service. The level of disregard and absence of client care raises serious concerns about the quality and management of services at Mayfair gearbox Bloemfontein. I request that this matter be investigated, and that they be held accountable for the distress, inconvenience, and lack of professionalism I have endured in the past 3 to months. I would appreciate a written response on the action that will be taken to ensure no other client is subjected to this kind of treatment

Mayfair Gearbox Centre in Empangeni undertook the repair of my Ford Focus automatic gearbox which had ceased to operate and although they battled to find a new gearbox when they replaced the gearbox and set up the new box it was absolutely first class to drive. Just like new
