Our electrical board in our kitchen needed wiring urgently. We battled to find an electrician at short notice and found them on the Internet. They wanted R35 360.50, which I felt was high. They also insisted on a 75% deposit. As we were desperate we paid the 75%. They wanted the balance before they had even completed the job! I couldn't pay it as there was NO POWER!! Once the electricity was restored, the balance owing was paid! We have battled since Feb. 1st to get a proper Tax Invoice, listing all the costs involved, including the labour costs. They are insisting that we use their scribbled service report as a Tax Invoice. We have called and emailed them on numerous occasions. We can't get them to tell us where they operate from. Why are they not able to give us a full, itemised invoice? I have lodged a complaint with SARS as they are VAT registered, as I feel we were overcharged and they are not able to justify the amount that they charged. I am warning the public to be very wary when you are desperate for work to be done.
