Question 1

Which vehicles do you work on?

Accepted Answer

All makes and models – Toyota, Volkswagen, Nissan, Ford, Hyundai, Kia and the Chinese brands, right up to Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi – plus bakkies and light commercial vehicles, petrol and diesel.

Question 2

How much does an engine overhaul cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the engine and what we find inside it. We start with a diagnosis (compression test, scan and inspection) and give you a ballpark figure. After strip-down and measuring, you get a written quote for the parts and machining actually needed – nothing extra is fitted without your approval.

Question 3

How long does an engine overhaul take?

Accepted Answer

Most overhauls take one to two weeks, depending on machining and parts availability. We keep you updated on WhatsApp with photos as the rebuild progresses.

Question 4

What does the R450 holiday check include?

Accepted Answer

A diagnostic scan and a check of brakes, tyres, suspension and steering, battery and charging, belts, hoses, leaks, fluid levels, lights and wipers. You get a written report and a quote for anything that should be fixed before your trip.

Question 5

Do you do injector coding?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Replacement injectors – and injectors moved between cylinders – must be coded to the engine computer on most modern diesels and direct-injection petrol engines. We test, replace and code injectors on all brands.

Question 6

My car can't be driven. What now?

Accepted Answer

Call or WhatsApp us. Tell us where the car is and what happened, and we will help you arrange getting it to the workshop. When booking online, choose "It can't be driven" and add the address.

Question 7

How do your quotes work?

Accepted Answer

After diagnosing your vehicle we send an itemised quote – usually 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, we contact you first.

Question 8

Will servicing with you affect my new-car warranty?

Accepted Answer

No. South Africa's automotive aftermarket guidelines allow you to have your car serviced and repaired by an independent workshop during the warranty period, as long as the work is done to manufacturer specifications with quality parts. We stamp your service book and keep a full record.

Question 9

Do you use original parts?

Accepted Answer

We use original (OEM) parts or quality equivalents from trusted suppliers. Your quote shows which, so you can choose based on budget and preference.

Question 10

How can I pay?

Accepted Answer

You can pay by EFT, card or cash when you collect your vehicle. You receive a detailed invoice on WhatsApp or email for your records.

Question 11

Do you guarantee your work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our workmanship is guaranteed, and parts carry the supplier's warranty. Ask us for the details that apply to your job.
