Full service list

What we repair, and
how we diagnose it.

Every service below is something our technicians do weekly, not occasionally. Each one starts with a proper diagnosis — never a guess dressed up as a quote.

CV Joints & Driveshaft Repair

Our founding specialty since 1979 — and still the repair we're called for most, across every make sold in South Africa.

Signs you need this

  • A clicking or popping sound when turning, especially at low speed
  • A clunk when accelerating or shifting from reverse to drive
  • Vibration through the floor or steering wheel that gets worse with speed
  • Visible grease flung around the inside of a wheel rim — a torn CV boot

We inspect the joint and boot before recommending a full driveshaft replacement. Often the joint or boot alone can be repaired, which costs considerably less and gets you back on the road faster. Read more about our CV joint repair in Pretoria.

Engine Diagnostics & Overhauls

Petrol or diesel, daily runabout or workhorse — we diagnose before we dismantle.

Signs you need this

  • A warning light that won't clear, or keeps returning
  • Loss of power, rough idling, or hesitation under load
  • Unusual knocking, ticking, or smoke from the exhaust
  • Rising fuel consumption with no change in driving habits

Full diagnostic scan first, plain-language explanation of what it found, then a written quote — whether that's a sensor replacement or a full overhaul.

Brake Systems

Disc skimming, pad replacement, full system servicing. Nothing about stopping power gets a "should be fine."

Signs you need this

  • Squealing or grinding when braking
  • The car pulls to one side under braking
  • A soft or spongy brake pedal
  • Visible scoring or grooves on the brake discs

We skim discs rather than replace them where the wear allows it — same stopping performance, lower cost. Where replacement is genuinely needed, we'll tell you why.

Clutch & Gearbox Repair

Manual and automatic. Diagnosed properly before anything is opened up.

Signs you need this

  • Clutch pedal feels different — too soft, too high, or slipping under load
  • Grinding or difficulty getting into gear
  • Delayed or jerky shifts in an automatic
  • A burning smell after stop-start traffic

Gearbox work is some of the most expensive a car can need — which is exactly why we diagnose carefully before quoting, rather than quoting before diagnosing.

Auto Electrical Repairs

Immobilisers, airbag systems, central locking, and the wiring faults that hide behind all of them.

Signs you need this

  • Car won't start despite a healthy battery — possible immobiliser fault
  • Airbag warning light staying on
  • Central locking working intermittently or not at all
  • Electrical gremlins that come and go without obvious cause

Modern vehicles hide electrical faults well. Our diagnostic equipment doesn't guess — it traces the fault to source. Steering warning light on? See our electric steering rack repair service.

Fleet Maintenance

Scheduled servicing programs built around keeping your vehicles earning, not waiting in a queue.

Built for businesses that need

  • Predictable service scheduling across multiple vehicles
  • Preventative maintenance that catches problems before breakdowns
  • Consolidated invoicing and service history per vehicle
  • A single workshop relationship instead of juggling several

We work with logistics companies, delivery fleets, and businesses running company vehicles across greater Pretoria — structuring maintenance around your operating hours, not ours.

Air Conditioning Regas & Repair

Pretoria summers don't forgive a weak aircon system.

Signs you need this

  • Airflow that's no longer cold, or takes long to cool down
  • A musty smell when the aircon switches on
  • Unusual noise when the system is running

We check for leaks before simply topping up gas — a regas without a leak check is a temporary fix at best.

Wheel Bearings & Suspension

The parts absorbing every pothole between home and the office.

Signs you need this

  • A humming or grinding noise that changes with speed
  • The car feels loose or wanders on the highway
  • Uneven tyre wear
  • A knocking sound over bumps

Worn bearings and suspension components don't just cause noise — left long enough, they affect handling and safety. We check both as standard during any service.
