Since 1979
Most things about cars have changed since 1979 — fuel injection, onboard computers, electric steering. What hasn't changed is what a customer actually wants from a mechanic: a straight answer.
CV Master opened on Steve Biko Road in Wonderboom South in 1979, in an era when "honest mechanic" wasn't yet a marketing phrase — it was simply the only way a small workshop survived long enough to become an old one. Forty-five years later, we're still on the same road, still RMI accredited, and still run on the same principle: tell the customer exactly what's wrong, exactly what it costs, and exactly what happens if they don't fix it yet.
We built our name on CV joint and driveshaft repair — a specialty that rewards patience and precision more than horsepower. That discipline carried over as the workshop grew to cover full mechanical repair: engines, brakes, gearboxes, electrical systems, and the fleet contracts that now make up a meaningful share of our work.
RMI accreditation means we're held to industry-standard diagnostic and repair practices, audited as a member of South Africa's Retail Motor Industry Organisation. For a customer, that's a guarantee with teeth — not a logo on a website.
Workshop history
CV Master begins trading on Steve Biko Road, Wonderboom South, focused on CV joint and driveshaft repair for the local Pretoria North market.
Engine diagnostics, brake systems, and gearbox repair are added as the workshop's reputation for honest diagnosis spreads across Gezina and Silverton.
CV Master becomes an accredited member of the Retail Motor Industry Organisation, formalising the diagnostic and pricing standards we'd already practiced for two decades.
Logistics and delivery businesses across greater Pretoria begin contracting CV Master for scheduled fleet maintenance, valuing predictability over the lowest quote.
Modern diagnostic equipment, the same workshop address, and the same answer when a customer asks what's actually wrong with their car.
880 Steve Biko Road, Wonderboom South — open Monday to Friday.
