Disappointed Trevor Mabootz Customer Retells Shocking Ordeal

A very unhappy Facebook user by the name of Tinashe Chishato posted an ordeal he had with the popular Trevor Mabootz.

In the post, Tinashe talks about how he trusted Mabootz to do some work on his truck after he had seen positive feedback about him on social media. Below is the full ordeal

“I would like to name & shame Trevor Mabootz. He got a shoutout from Zimbabwe’s favourite journalist for doing outstanding work so I decided to book a paint job for my pride and joy, this was the WORST mistake of my life. He parades online as a paint & bodywork specialist and uses his employer’s pictures of previous work carried out to rope in customers, this has gained him a lot of popularity on social media, particularly Twitter. He then keeps some jobs for himself.

The initial paint job was supposed to be a Rhino liner base & Nardo Grey paint all around, the result was the worst paint job I have ever seen, he even used the wrong shade of grey as seen in the pics, nonetheless, I gave him the opportunity to rectify the situation.

He asked me to drop off my vehicle at his employer’s premises in Graniteside, this was done to pull the wool over our eyes.

A few days passed & I called to check on progress but no response. After a couple more days I started to get worried so I went to Graniteside but they informed me that he never booked my truck in with the office & other staff members had seen him joyriding & drink driving in my vehicle.

Out of pity, his boss gave me Trevor’s wife’s number who then informed me of where my vehicle was, so after 4 days of searching, I finally found my vehicle. She was in a sorry state, the suspension was completely broken & all 2 tons of metal were resting on 1 $350 tyre. All of this plus other bent or broken internals showed signs of an impact.

Through all this, Trevor Mabootz was in hiding & left his wife to deal with his problems.

He called me the day after I managed to recover my car & promised to fix the issues, he was also adamant that there was no impact which made absolutely no sense. Fortunately for me, the recovery truck driver which he used recognized the vehicle and approached us to ask if we had fixed it, he then told us exactly what happened the evening he recovered it.

The day came for Trevor Mabootz to man up but he went missing again & has been hiding ever since only popping up here & there to delete my messages on his wall requesting him to do the right thing, therefore, I have decided to come name & shame him here, PLEASE AVOID HIM LIKE THE PLAGUE, it will end in tears. The issue is now with the Police.

Mwari ave newe Trevor Mabootz , you have ruined my dream project.”

Trevor Mabootz on his Facebook profile calls himself a Classiccarnerd. He also says he is a complete vintage enthusiast, petrolhead, speed freak…….Petrol runs in my veins. He has some popular clients featured on his page like journalist Hopewell Chin’ono popularly known as Daddyhope and DJ Fantan.
