Sabat Batteries ( Eastern Cape- PE office) Feedback on Service – Omar & Supa Quick Port Alfred / Concern About Parts Man Motorspares I would like to thank Omar, the SABAT representative, for his excellent and professional service, as well as Supa Quick Port Alfred for handling my warranty claim correctly and efficiently. My SABAT battery failed and a Midtronics test clearly showed “REPLACE BATTERY” with a measured 159 CCA on a 590 CCA battery, indicating internal failure. I first went to Parts Man Motorspares, where I originally purchased the battery. Despite the test result, they refused to replace the battery, insisted it should just be “charged”, and refused my request to contact the SABAT rep. Because of this, I decided to contact SABAT’s regional office myself. The office assistant was very professional and helpful and provided me with Omar’s contact number. From that point everything changed. Omar was professional from the word go. He immediately took ownership of the situation, phoned Supa Quick Port Alfred, and by the time I arrived there the replacement battery was already arranged. Supa Quick performed their own battery test, which again confirmed internal failure, and the battery was swapped under warranty without any hassle. This is exactly the kind of service that builds confidence in the SABAT brand. Thank you to Omar, the regional office assistant, and the Supa Quick Port Alfred team. However, I am seriously concerned about the conduct of Parts Man Motorspares. Their: refusal to accept a clear “REPLACE BATTERY” test result, insistence on “charging” a failed battery, and refusal to even contact the SABAT rep when asked show a lack of understanding of battery diagnostics and SABAT’s warranty process. This not only wastes customers’ time and money, but also risks damaging the SABAT brand. I strongly recommend that Parts Man Motorspares either receives proper training on SABAT/First National Battery warranty procedures, or that their status as an official SABAT stockist is reconsidered to prevent future harm to your brand reputation. Once again, thank you to Omar and Supa Quick Port Alfred for resolving the matter quickly and professionally.

Outstanding Quality and Service! I recently purchased a car battery from Sabat Batteries, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the moment they installed the battery, I could immediately feel the difference - my car starts effortlessly, and the performance has been smooth and reliable. The staff were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and made sure I got the right battery for my vehicle. The quality of the product is excellent, and it gives me real peace of mind knowing I’m using a brand I can trust. If you’re looking for reliability, great service, and real value for money, I highly recommend Sabat Batteries. Absolutely deserving of all 5 stars!

We were so excited for a weekend away at the dam, but our Sea-Doo Spark would not start because the battery was finished. We found the nearest SabatXpress store and they helped us immediately. The team knew exactly what we needed and had us back on the water in no time. Thank you for the fast, friendly service. You saved our weekend.

We urgently needed a car battery and opted to use AutoX’s online delivery and fitment service, expecting a smooth and reliable experience. During the process, we specifically requested to be contacted via mobile. Unfortunately, all we received was a generic SMS, followed by a flood of emails—none of which helped in the moment. We were left completely stranded until a friend eventually came to our aid. I genuinely believed AutoX was South Africa’s leading battery provider, but this experience has proven otherwise. Sadly, this will be the last time we rely on either Willard or Sabat batteries.

I bought a battery on the 3/06/25 from the SABAT Batteries in Halfway House Midrand, and as soon as they fitted the battery my car went into Limp Mode; I drove to the outlet with my vehicle fully operational, and when I was driving off I noticed that it had no power, the technician said that there is no way is has anything to do with them. So I tried to drive the car thinking it would left correct, 500m down the road I pulled over and called them to come test the battery to make sure they gave me the right battery for my car. The lady I spoke to was dismissive and basically told me that this has nothing to do with them and that they wouldnt be coming out to check if it was the right battery. I had to organise the tow truck to get my car and take it to an auto electrician.

Last year august we bought a sabat battery at nafcoc sosh spares in soshanguve, less than a year later the battery seized working, I then took it upon myself to take it back as it has a 1 year warranty, nafcoc sosh spares then gave me a loan battery citing that a sabat batteries rep will come and check out the battery so that we can know what is the problem, even the loan battery stopped working and the said sabat batteries rep hasn't been to them to check the batteries out, it has been 2 weeks of waiting and getting no recourse,as a result I am struggling to make ends meet , as I am stuck without a battery. Sabat batteries kindly come to our rescue!!!!

Case Number: #00019354 See me no more buying Sabat battery.Even on the case number there's no sense of urgency...Useless after sales and people who are not considerate of customers needs. Be told to drop the battery at the spares store you bought it from for the Rep to assess then basically you will be left with a car without battery

I bought Sabat battery on 18 May 2023 and it's leaking all over. I went back to Fazel spares Moot street where I bought the battery and the salesman there said to me the guarantee is ALMOST GONE, HE WENT ON AND SAID I SHOULD CLEAN THE BATTERY WITH BOILING WATER AND I ASKED HIM TO CLEAN IT FOR ME AND HE REFUSED SAYING THEY ARE SPARES STORE NOT A WORKSHOP. WHAT I NEED TO KNOW FROM SABAT IS THAT DO YOU INSTRUCT SALESMAN TO TELL CUSTOMERS TO CLEAN LEAKING BATTERIES USING BOILING WATER ? IS IT STATED ANYWHERE THAT CUSTOMERS SHOULD USE BOILING WATER TO CLEAN SABAT BATTERIES? IS IT STATED ANYWHERE THAT "THE GUARANTEE IS ALMOST GONE " AFTER SALES FROM SABAT ARE VERY POOR, THE REPRESENTATIVE IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND DURING WEEKEND/PUBLIC HOLIDAYS. IF YOU ARE STUCK OR HAVE A LEAKING BATTERY YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. AS A REMINDER TO SABAT BATTERY FAILURES CAN RESULT IN VEHICLE CATCHING FIRE.
