AI Review Summary
Based on recent customer reviews, SMD Salvage Management and Disposals is facing severe customer experience challenges, with feedback dominated by accounts of unrefunded deposits, missing vehicle paperwork, and a sudden move into business rescue or liquidation without clear communication. Customers consistently mention being unable to reach staff by phone or email, with a recurring theme of vehicles paid for but not delivered or sold to others by mistake. Trust has eroded sharply, and reviewers frequently warn other buyers to avoid transacting with the auction platform.

SMD Just Disappeared overnight
SMD went on business rescue without any communication leaving clients not knowing where to go or to enquire on outstanding payments. It is so unprofessional. There is no announcement of who the business practitioners are or contact numbers. FNB ultimately should take responsibility and address the matter with all those owed monies.

SMD did not provide notice that the company is being liquidated
SMD is under liquidation No notice to clients whatsoever. I have my deposit with them as I wanted bid cars I bought 2 cars recently I haven't received the car papers . I've been trying to call SMD no response to email. I finally got ahold of the operations manager and he is now telling me that there is nothing he can do to assist as the company is under liquidation and all their employees contracts has been terminated. We have a buy and sell business how are we supposed to proceed with selling these 2 cars that we bought without the car papers? What is going to happen to our deposit?
