FAQ
Fair questions.
Something else? Ask us on WhatsApp.
Do you work on all makes?
We work on most makes and models of passenger cars and bakkies, petrol and diesel. Send us the make, model and year on WhatsApp and we will confirm before you come in.
Do I pay for parts upfront?
Yes. Parts are quoted upfront and paid before we order them, so you always know the cost before anything arrives. Labour is R650/hour and is included in the written quote you approve.
Will this void my warranty?
No. Under South Africa's Right to Repair guidelines, you can have your car serviced and repaired at an independent workshop without voiding your new-car warranty. We keep a full written record of every job.
Are you open weekends?
Yes. We are open 7 days a week, 08:00 to 17:00, Saturdays and Sundays included. WhatsApp us any time and we reply within the hour while we are open.
