Do not trust these people!
If you value your goods, you will not use this company.
We hired them to move & transport my dad’s car a Mercedes SLK convertible from Joburg to Mossel Bay. The actual move went smooth but for the vehicle, this was a nightmare!!!
My dad opted for the “chauffeur” service. What a laugh. 2 guys showed up at the house in tracksuits, socks and flip flops. One whose name is [Name removed by Sirelo]. From his WhatsApp status I could gather not South African.
So, no truck? I asked. He said she’s gonna drive my dad’s car to the warehouse. When I asked where the warehouse was, he gave me an address that’s 33 minutes away. I called his “boss” or whom ever the CDJ contact person is [Names removed by Sirelo], he informed me that it was only 8km away.
Confused, and with a lot of doubt I handed the keys over to [Name removed by Sirelo].
After an hour I sent him a WhatsApp asking if the car for their safely, to which he replied, “don’t worry sister”. Very p
rofessional, but wait it gets worse.
He phones my dad 2 hours after leaving my house that he’s stuck. In his own residential area not anywhere near any of warehouse addresses given.
He said he ran out of petrol, wanted my dad to reimburse him and oh ya the battery is flat, so the car won’t start.
My dad isn’t in joburg so I sent my fiancé to see what is happening.
He found my dad’s car, bonnet open, battery removed, leaking oil and water running under the car with the top down!!!!!
The joy ride [Name removed by Sirelo] took the car on was also recorded by CPF members in the community who said that they were drag racing and wheel spinning and doing donuts in the street. They trashed the engine. Metro police came out but couldn’t make an arrest of [Name removed by Sirelo] as the cat was stationary when the metro arrived.
My fiancé was surrounded by [Name removed by Sirelo] and about 7 of his friends who refused to hand the keys over despite my fiancé being with me in the morning when I gave him the car.
We had to get a tow truck to tow the car back to the collection address in Joburg.
They still have the deposit we paid for this service.
Did I forget to mention Boss [Name remove by Sirelo] switched off his phone or blocked us?
And we have not heard from him since!!!!
We will be legally perusing this matter with CDJ movers for damages.
