Honest, Reliable and Highly Recommended
I had such a great experience with Samco Engines. From the moment I walked in, the staff were friendly, professional, and willing to go the extra mile to assist me. They have a wide range of quality engines and parts at very reasonable prices, and they took the time to explain everything clearly so I knew exactly what I was getting. What really stood out for me was their honesty and the effort they put into making sure I was satisfied. It’s rare to find such reliable service these days, and I’ll definitely be recommending Samco Engines to anyone looking for engines or parts.

SAMCO Engines are not usable and the service is below shocking !
Absolute ******! They have a 14 day guarantee but send you half and engine then say the 14 days is over whilst you still wait on them to send the outstanding parts. When you evenly get the parts and start up the car, the engine is dead . They then fall back on their guarantee policy and you end up *****ed anyway. Find a reputable place and leave this place alone. Stay away from them.

Engines and gearbox
Guys, be vigilant dealing with these people. Every thing must be in writing, don’t agree to any terms if not satisfied.. They try to get a sale. I was saved anyway. Didn’t like the attitude.. 14 day warranty, if engine, gearbox not good to return as is , is never possible.. rather deal with a reputable company. The road they situated in Durban stinks and bit dangerous..

Complaint and Request for Refund - Incorrect Gearbox Purchase
Complaint and Request for Refund - Incorrect Gearbox Purchase I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with a recent transaction at SAMCO Engines and Gearboxes, specifically regarding the purchase of a gearbox for my vehicle on [27 October 2023]. I wish to bring to your attention the discrepancy between the gearbox I ordered and the one provided, and my subsequent experience at your establishment. On the day in question, I visited your premises with the intention of purchasing a specific gearbox, providing your staff with all the necessary details regarding my requirements and the make and model of my vehicle. However, upon the arrival of the engineer who was set to install the gearbox in my car, it was discovered that the wrong gearbox had been issued during the purchase. I promptly returned to your facility to rectify the situation, and this is where my concerns and frustrations began. Your staff asked if I could wait for an additional 30 minutes while they checked another warehouse for the correct gearbox. Unfortunately, waiting for an extended period was not feasible for me, as I had already spent over three hours at your establishment, and my vehicle was in urgent need of repair. It was suggested that a refund might be possible according to your company's terms and conditions. However, the terms and conditions stipulate the following requirements for a refund or exchange: Goods must be accepted and exchanged within 7 working days. Goods must be subjected to a full inspection by your staff for refund or exchange. Goods must be in their original purchase condition. Items that have been stripped will not be eligible for exchange or refund. Goods returned for credit must be accompanied by the original invoice, subject to a handling charge of 20%. Proof of purchase will be requested for replacement items where applicable. Failure to produce a valid invoice will void the guarantee, exchange, or refund immediately. No cash refunds will be issued; EFT will be processed within 7 days. Finance charges and delivery/freight charges will not be refunded. Given the circumstances and the fact that the incorrect gearbox was issued by your establishment, it is only reasonable to request a full refund, as this falls within the outlined terms and conditions. I kindly request that you expedite this process and ensure that the refund is processed as promptly as possible. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and hope for a swift resolution. Please find attached the original invoice as requested in your terms and conditions. If there are any further documents or information required, please do not hesitate to contact me. I can be reached at the phone number and email address provided above. Thank you for your cooperation, and I trust that SAMCO Engines and Gearboxes will uphold its commitment to customer satisfaction as outlined in your terms and conditions.
