Question posted in the General Law category relating to Gauteng
Good day
i got into accident. Got a quote if 39800 from panel beater. I told him him I can't afford. I will go buy my spares because I got a quote of R17000 for spares so I will him his Labour R8100. He asked how much can I afford he responded that he fix with that money. Paid deposit more than what is required, paid part of payment agreed to pay balance end of the month . He didn't buy the parts as he promised used my accident parts that left car untidy. Now he is denying all verbal talks and R26000 is not realistic but he agreed , misled me and the car came back with broken clutch. I want a refund to go buy parts and take it somewhere, he is ignoring my calls or WhatsApp. What choice do I have can I open a criminal charge?
