Did a stellar job removing broken cabrio top with a replacement top which is now fully functioning. Perfect fit and seals all around! Well done and thank you! Will use you again!

Has worked on my car TWICE and on both occasions the idling problem persisted almost R6000 later. My car broke down and completely stopped working, it was in mink condition. I took it to another mechanic for a diagnostic. Turns out Marius was stripping my car, little by little. He had taken out multiple circuits and replaced it with some fake circuit breaker, completely blowing the computer box. The accelerator pad was bent almost to a point of breaking. My car is damaged and will probably never be the same. Nothing he fixed was done right.

PLEASE DO NOT USE : This guy is a scammer. We deposited R24 000 in his account on 05.04.2023 April. Since then NOTHING!!! He even blocked the attorneys number we handed him over to.

Very helpfull at the beginning, collected my car from my house, but then things started to fall apart. Ordered parts and waited almost 2 weeks and battled to get hold of him. Sent endless messages with no response. Eventually got the cae back R3000 later and having the exact same problem from him on the way home??? Sent pics of the car and told him its not right and no response again. Its a pity as Marius is truly a nice person, but after service and communication is not up to standard. R3000, 6 weeks later and the car is still standing..

Old-fashioned backyard mechanic would not know where to start! Marius did. I feel he needs better premises however this situation kept my costs low, he literally saved me 1000s. He accurately pinpointed the problem. Even if vehicle would not start after the inspection he took time to get it going so that we could go purchase the needed part. Eventually I left and was able to get the part needed from the dealers. All in all he did help resolve the problem.

THIS INFORMANTION IS INCCORRECT. FIRSTLY, THIS AUDI WAS COLLECTED FROM ME THREE WEEKS AGO ALREADY, SECONDLY WHEN IT CAME TO ME, IT WAS OVERHEATING BAD, JERKING AND STRUGGLING TO DRIVE PROPERLY. ALSO RIGHT FROM THE START IT WAS DIAGNOSTED AND QUOTE FOR NEW PARTS AS REQUIRED, BUT DUE TO FINANCIAL ISSUES, I HAD TO "MAKE CHEAPER PLANS" AND MAKE USE OF SECOND HAND ELECTRICAL PARTS. YES VEHICLE WAS WITH ME FOR 2 AND A HALF MONTHS ABOUT. BUT WHAT IS ALSO NOT MENTIONED, IS BECAUSE OF THIS CAR'S FAULTY ECM MY LAPTOP AND PROFESSIONAL VW/AUDI DIAGNOSIC SYSTEM EXPERIENCED AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT BLOWNING MY LAPTOP AND DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE (+/- R4500 + DAMAGE AND LOSS) ALSO I I PAID SOMEONE ELSE MULTIPLE TIMES WITH MY OWN MONEY TO TRY AND GET HIS CAR SORTED, NOT TO MENTION ALL THE OTHER EXPENSES I COVER OUT OF MY PERSONAL MONEY TO TRY AND HELP HIM AS HE WAS A LOYAL AND REGURAL CUSTOMER OF MIND WHO ACTUALLY PRAISED ME I N A REVIEW ON MECHANIC BUDDY. BUT OBVIOSILY REMOVED THAT 5 OUT OF 5 REVIEW AND REPLACE IT WITH THIS ONE. I NEVER BOTHER RESPONDING TO GOOD OR BAD REVIEWS, HOWEVER THIS ONE WRONG IN EVERY WAY. ALL AND ALL MY LOSSES + EXPENCES EEXCEEDED FAR BEYOND R10000. PLUS WHAT IS ALSO NOT SAID IS, I NEVER EVEN CHARGED HIM ANY LABOUR FEES AT ALL. REGARDS. MARIUS. ESM AUTO SHOP PTY LTD
