All of them. We repair and service Japanese, German, Korean, American, French, Chinese and Indian makes – hatchbacks, sedans, SUVs, bakkies, 4x4s and minibuses, petrol and diesel.
Yes. South Africa's Guidelines for Competition in the Automotive Aftermarket allow you to have an in-warranty car serviced and repaired by an independent workshop, as long as the work is done to the manufacturer's specifications with quality parts. We use the correct oils and parts and record the service in your book.
Our focus is mechanical work – servicing, diagnostics, engines, gearboxes, brakes, suspension and electrics. Phone or WhatsApp us about body work and we will tell you what we can help with.
After diagnosing your car we send an itemised quote on WhatsApp or email as a PDF, with parts and labour shown separately. We only start once you approve it, and if we find anything else along the way, we contact you first.
For many jobs, yes. Use the Get a Quote page or WhatsApp us your make, model, year and a description or photo of the problem. Some faults need a diagnostic check before we can give an accurate price.
