Fochville Diesel & Petrol Vehicle and brake Services

Car is 10 times worse than before we took it in. Took it in to replace the shocks and for a service - completely wrong oil put in, and suddenly the car has severe suspension damage and the wheels cannot be aligned - cranking noises from the front wheels and a car that is completely unbalanced and worse than before visiting is definitely not what we expected for R7000 worth of work.Upon return no follow-up inspection was done - simply told that's how it is" and they can provide a quote on redoing the entire suspension."

Very experienced team performing excellent work. Definitely the go to place for your vehicles maintenance. I highly recommend them....

Probably the best and most honest service centre in SA! Goes the extra mile, delivers superb service and offers transparency and honest feedback with each service. Highly recommended!!!

Good friendly service at affordable price .

For 10 years we as a family with three vehicles have only had good service. Never have we experienced any problems.

Thank you once again for sorting out the little troubles on short notice, so our delivery Kia can be mobile again!! And all the difficult problems and overall service of our vehicles!! Have not received this kind of special service before. Keep up the good work!!

What a strange world we are living in these days with all the new technology at our hands related to social media and the internet. Being from the old age where a mans word was all that was needed to tell the truth I just realized that without agreeing to google or Facebook or any of their internet programs that there was a site where my business is listed and any person can leave a bad comment without realizing the consequences for such a business.And even to this day everything created by man will break at some point but beware if that thing is a vehicle and the last place it was parked was at a mechanic. As for we only wait for vehicles to arrive so that we can break them for no reason and angry their owners.I was not even aware than Mr van Staden was unhappy with us just being honest of the bad condition his vehicle was in so he just posted a bad commend on this site even saying we put the wrong oil in his vehicle and insinuate that we damaged his vehicle so wheel alignment was not possible.His vehicle engine and drive train was in such a bad condition that we was not prepared to even do the timing belt but just the suspension .Then there is Mr Oosthuizen that claimed we had fiddled with his vehicle timing chain and use glue on the tensioner when the vehicle was at our place for a service. For those of you that are not technical I will try to explain.We are fully booked at least one week in advance for vehicle services for the past 12 years and only have time for the days work scheduled for. So where will we have the extra 5 to 6 hours to open up his engine and glue parts without charging him for such service. The only service we do free of charge is the following ( we will wash your vehicle after the service and replace some of the globes and wipers for free labor not the item . We don't overhaul engines nor open them up except for clutches and TIMING BELT replacements not chains . this can also be verified by the other workshops in town as for we advice the customers to go to them with such requests. So just to get back to Mr Oosthuizen who drove for TWO MONTHS and down to Jeffry Bay and only then his vehicle broke down claim it is our fault.Ho ever not only did we warned him on his invoice on collection of his vehicle about the noise we heard at first start up after the oil change to replace the chain at VW ASAP and about the common failure of the timing chain on all these vw engines and also made him attend on all the posts on the internet regarding this problem he still ignored it and now blame us. ( See attache invoice of the warning where we advised him to have the chain replaced ASAP at VW ) Because we do not open up engines.just thought I share this with you and added the original invoices with the notes made by us.Regards ManagementFochville Diesel & Petrol
