Question posted in the General Law category relating to Mpumalanga
I tooked my daughters car in for full body repair and respray in 29 August 2022 with the promise to receive it back before closure in December for festive season. We never received the car in December but with the promise that we will receive it first week after opening in January 2023. We also never received the car then, needless to say still up to date we did not received the vehicle, it is more than a year now. Every week a promise that we will receive it the next week, and so is it going on and on every week. It doesn't matter if I threaten them, they just don't care. So today I have lost my shit and told them I don't care if they work till one o'clock at morning I want the vehicle, so he once again promised me that I can get the vehicle next week Friday. Take note that I paid the full amount already, except for extra work that needs to be done. My question now is what can I do regarding this matter and what is my rights?
Can I keep him accountable for compensation for inconvenience?
Thank you.
