Happy customer

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the outstanding support I received from Tebogo. His dedication and commitment to excellence made a world of difference in resolving my issues promptly and efficiently.

Tebogo's unwavering support has truly reflected positively on the company. I appreciate his efforts and wanted to highlight the positive impact he has had on my experience.
Thank you once again for having such a dedicated team member.

Cannot deliver what they promise

As a rule, I have never taken this route before, but I am warning residents about Stage Zero. Just make sure from your side their calculations on the size and type of system is 200% accurate, otherwise they will hold you accountable. I am sure there are hundreds of satisfied clients out there, but be cautioned if the luck is not on your side and they make calculation errors.

They will not engage with you. You will only get a summons.

Pricing and accounts

Pricing and accounts. Have my 2 year contract which was paid on time every single months.
Unfortunately my unit was stollen and I had infirmed stage zero. Feedback was that after the 1year ant 4 months of use Stage Zero send me a outstanding amount of R6000. A brand new identical to their unit cost is R5999.
Also received numours call that their calculations is that I owe them R38 and needed immediately payment whilst I was in credit to my record.
Clients to take note of the close out clause pertaing when you need to submit back the rental back to Stage Zero
