HI
I am one of the people who usually try to keep their opinion limited to theirselves ,terrible experience i had with this company and mental torture given by this guy Mr. Collin i decided to share this incident with other readers so they should not face the pain and mental torture my family went through because of this company SOUTH CITY ELECTRICAL 2000 ltd Hamilton New Zealand based and run by Mr Owen Collin .
What happened i will write here in detail . my family hired this company couple of months ago for an electrical work needs to be done in Ngaruawahia . Apparently it seems this company is big well established and look after his customers and take pride to follow up any complaints laid by unhappy clients but reality is totally different .

False details presented on company website regarding affiliation with reputed organizations of NZ.
We hired this company after going through the details published by this company on its website that this company is member of masters electrician and part of ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION OF NZ ( ECANZ) but after having the dispute with this company when we contacted with these organizations they simply told us this company is not member of their organization therefore they are unable to take any action .

Company run by one person , no any other electrician available to complete the job or enhance the work speed
2nd main factor of having dispute was company run by only one person Mr. Collin and they do not have any other electrician available to finish the job or enhance the work speed.

This guy collin was very confident to finish the job within 15 days time period , work involved one unit room electric wiring and installation of oven and dishwasher . WE agreed to pay him per hour labour and he told us in in clear words that maximum he will take 15-20 days of labour charge . First day he started work we realized we are in wrong hands . he is old man touching 70s and with poor eye sight lack of energy , he was running around for tools in an unorganized way . running market time to time to bring the material or small tools ( these things usually store in electrician van ) . We tried to talk to him that the way he is doing this job on per hourly basis he is going to finish the work in 2 months time period . Please be fair and he if he can not do the job professionally and in energetic manner please leave the job as is and we will hire some one else .

After that this guy started giving us the reference of the verbal contract that we hired him for 15 days so we need to pay for 15 days labour or let him to finish the job and what ever the time till end of the job he had spent we will need to pay that , we were shocked but we had no other option and asked him to finish the job he finished the 1/3 of work in 15 days time period and gave us the invoice of $3000 , that amount approximately he told for whole of the work when he starting the work .

He put us in such terrible situation our family was waiting to move into the unit and we paid him $2500 and $500 we disputed him and requested we can go to the dispute tribunal and settle the matter over there . As house was empty on good faith we gave him one key to enter into the house any time when he was doing this job. after getting the payment of $2500 and when he received our response that we will not pay $500 unless he justify the charges he put into invoice and hidden charges of vehicle trips to market . He went into the property , remove all of the wiring he did in 15 days , removed all of the switch boards , disconnected the lights , oven , dishwasher and left the place sent us email stating he have repossessed the goods we disputed $500 with him .
Please put yourself into my shoes and realize how terrible situation it was for me and my family when we went inside the house and cables were hanging on the walls and unit was without electricity . This guy gave us extreme mental torture that my wife got panic att
