Specialising in BMW

Specialist BMW care without the dealer bill.

How the clinic works

Check-in to discharge. No surprises.

You always know what is wrong, what it costs and when the car will be ready.

  1. 1

    1 · Check-in

    Call, WhatsApp or book

    Tell us the symptoms. A photo of the dash or a voice note of the noise helps us prepare before you arrive.

  2. 2

    2 · Diagnosis

    We find the real fault

    Every module scanned, live data read, road test done – we fix the cause, not the symptom.

  3. 3

    3 · Treatment plan

    4 · Discharge

    Fixed & road-tested

    Repaired, road-tested and handed back with a clear invoice and genuine advice for next time.

Cars

Hatchbacks, sedans and coupés – from a Polo Vivo to a 5 Series.

Hilux, Ranger, D-Max, Navara and NP200 – petrol and diesel work trucks.

SUVs

BMW X1 to X5, Fortuner, Everest, Tiguan and the rest of the family fleet.

LDVs

Quantums, H-1s and panel vans – a parked delivery vehicle costs money every day.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Still not sure?

Send us a message – we are happy to talk you through it before you book.

No. We specialise in BMW, but we service and repair all makes and models – Toyota, VW, Ford, Nissan, Isuzu, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Chevrolet, Audi and more. Cars, bakkies, SUVs and LDVs are all welcome.

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 BMW-approved oils and quality parts and record every service. Work covered by an active BMW motorplan should still go to the dealer so you do not pay twice.

Yes – new and used. We supply genuine BMW parts, OEM-supplier parts (the same factories that make BMW's parts) and tested used spares. Use the BMW Spares page or WhatsApp us a photo of your licence disc and the part you need.

In many cases, yes – talk to us first. We cannot guarantee parts we did not supply, so the workmanship warranty is limited to the labour.

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.
