FAQs

Common questions.

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.

Most services, brakes and batteries are done the same day. Bigger jobs depend on parts – we tell you the expected time when you approve the quote and keep you updated on WhatsApp.
