Had my fair share of problems with Delta motors years ago ... parked my 93 opel Kadett outside their premises .. with window notices stating it was a dud ... all I had asked them for was to replace the vehicle with the same model with + - same Km as yes the one I had had too many problems form date of delivery ... well they did not listen ,, their price ?/ anything that went wrong even if out of warranty was replaced FOC .. that was a directive from delta head office ... Ok incinvenience .. but you could see their faces drop when i arrived ...
Ok now my painter .. I was looking for a good painter to take care of all the big jobs eg roof painting and work with heights which i previousloy took care of myself , but yes it robs me of precious liesure time .. so i got people in .. took them onto roof etc showed what i wanted .. told them I was picky and not shy to climb up on roof to inspect and yes they had to have banking details as i did not pay cash , I dont like to lose track of payments , and electronic keeps track .. most did not come back ... then along came Mr bright boy ... MNA enterprises ... looked professional .. acted professional .. said all the right things ... measured etc .. two days later got a professional quote via email ... 50 % down .. rest on completion .. i still went back and made sure they understood the paint spec properly .. no cheap paint etc and the amount of coats .. the quote said starting date 4th May and anticipated schedule being 7 to 10 working days weather dependent .. well it started badly first day I di toys out of cot about supervision which i thought was lacking and not conducive to a proper job being done .. deaf ears ... more issues .. job ended up dragging out till last week .. i got them off site ... still not entirely satisfied still sitting on my remaining 50 % of payment .. considering penalty cos of the lack of professionalism and falling way out of the scope of the time frame ... ??? what do i do ??
U should of got frtz and Sharkias painters .......fritz could have watched like always lol
Chris .. i nearly klapped this man off the roof .. when I demanded a site meeting .. he looked gobsmacked when I showed him errors and shoddy work .. told him .. its cos you were not here at start of day and end of day , as it should have been ,, anyhow the job " complete " with the minor glitches and i still got my remaining 50 % securely in my pockets ,, and he not even made an attempt to ask for it .. and I willnot move till he asks ,, and then shoot him down in flames again .. just glad to get them off site .. got other jobs need doing ...
Hi Sandy, there is a great web site "hallopeter.com" There you can list bad service and check out if the company concerned has any other complaints. The site is great and you can have your say too, and warn other prospective clients about your problems with them. have a goodie.

Good to know..thanx
Ta ,,, the man has not even bothered to send the account for " completion " Ok so the job is complete , but yes aside from some good work done there are still a couple of glaring small things .. all a result of lack/ poor supervision .. so I'm still sitting on my 50 % and he can blow bubles through his arse cos I think he's too scared to email the completion account cos so far the content of my correspondence has not been kind .. Mmm maybe he just slinks away .. but then his unsupervised painters did more work than they should have ,, and my conscience tells me that we have to strike a deal .. or else Karma will get me ... No Mike she not the other gorl trolling on Sea point main road .... catmusic
