A good start for Tech.co.za
I ordered an external Hard Drive last week. The item arrived in good time and was packaged well, which is good considering it is fragile. The item was also priced extremely well, that is why I ordered it from Tech.co.za. I have not yet tested the drive , but I am full of confidence it will be ok.

Bosch Car Service Gezina - Disappointing and poor service
I bought a pre-owned Mercedes with an additional warranty in 2019. The warranty dictates I should have the vehicle serviced at an MRI accredited dealer. After some Google searching and asking around, I decided to take the vehicle to Bosch Car Service in Gezina, Pretoria even though it is rather far from my house. Upon making the booking I was told the indicated B7 service includes changing of all filters and oil including the gearbox oil and was quoted R6700.00. I agreed and took the car there. At this point I must mention there was absolutely nothing wrong with the vehicle, no error codes, not using oil nothing whatsoever. During the day I received a call informing me the vehicle is leaking oil and needs a sump gasket as well as a new wheel bearing. The additional cost would be R10k. I said to hold on and immediately proceeded to phone around managing to source the complete wheel bearing set (***) and gasket for R1700.00 total. I therefore told them to only do the service since I thought they were asking too much for the additional work. I collected my vehicle and was charged the full quoted amount. Upon scrutinizing the invoice I saw no mention of gearbox oil and filters. When I asked the representative I was told they checked the oil and was still clean there was no need to change it. I also noticed they use semi synthetic oil which is NOT the oil recommended by Mercedes. I asked about it and was given the BS story it only says semi synth on the invoice but they in fact use full synthetic oil. By the price of the oil I could see that was not true. At this point I asked to see the workshop Manager but was told he was in a meeting (total BS of course). I left and on the way home I suddenly had a vibration in the drivetrain which I never had before - the "worn bearing" they mentioned suddenly sticking it's head out after the service? Very suspicious. Anyway, the next morning I noticed a pool of water under the front bumper. I opened the bonnet and saw that is the position of the windscreen washer bottle which never leaked before. I took the vehicle back to Bosch and was told I'll have to leave it there three days because they basically have to strip the car to check the bottle. Of course I need the vehicle so I did not leave it there. A few days later I decided to check the oil just as a precaution - and discovered the oil had been totally overfilled. The entire dipstick (and more) is totally flushed with oil. Now anybody who knows anything engines knows how bad it is to overfill the engine with oil. So, there you have it. That is the kind of service you can expect from Bosch Car Service in Gezina. I cannot in good conscience recommend this dealer to anybody.

Kloppers.co.za - Most competitive prices and very fast delivery.
Ordered a lawnmower online on Tuesday and it was delivered on Wednesday all the way from Bloemfontein to Pretoria! On top of that the price was R1000 lower than I could find the same lawnmower for anywhere in Gauteng! I would say the Kloppers online store will soon take on the competition a lot.....you know what I mean.

Van Biljoens Appliance Services - shocking bad service.
Van Biljoens collected my Fridge for repair on 28 November 2019. By mid December I had not heard ONE WORD from them so I phoned them twice. Both times I was told they will phone be back which they never did. I borrowed a fridge from someone else to have cold beer over New year. They reopened mid January at which point I phoned twice and once again was told they will phone me back which did not happen again. Same story in February except now I was told they are waiting for a heating element (after insisting and raising my voice). Now it is MARCH 2020 and they tell me they are still waiting for the part! By the way, this particular part is available for ordering on the internet by anyone! The poor ladies at Van Biljoens reception obviously have orders to hold the fort because they simply come up with one excuse after the other not to put your call through to the workshop manager or someone in authority. This is a sign of a company that is actually aware their service sucks, so they have all these delaying mechanisms in place to frustrate customer queries. I think this is by far the worst service I have personally experienced in my entire life. The Post Office does better!

No ADSL for three weeks - no technician in sight
My ADSL and phone stopped working altogether on 5 December. I reported it the same day. No technician came out but I received an sms on 7 December stating the fault is in hand with the technical department. Nothing happened - again an sms received on the 11th December stating the fault is in hand with the technical department. Then on 15 December an sms saying the fault has been identified as a cable problem this was being attended to. Then another sms stating the cable will be replaced on the 18th of December. The 18th came and went and my ADSL is still not working right now - it is the 28th of December. Granted the phone has dial tone now but the ADSL is dead as a doornail - and hahaha my phone number is now different......what a joke !!. Tried a new router - no difference. It is definitely Telkom related. Cudos for all the SMS messages but whats the point if the line does not get fixed. It is really disappointing to receive such bad service. This particular ADSL service failed already three times the last three months. Every time the technician tells me somebody in the exchange plugged my cable into the wrong socket????
