      "Being able to book the re-fitment of my new tracking device was very fast. The people at the Rustenburg branch were very friendly and helpful, getting the fitment done in less time than they advised it would take. After fitment they answered all my questions thoroughly and explained the panic button and everything to me so nicely. Highly recommend especially the Rustenburg branch."
