💡 Is Your Mechanic’s Pricing High?
We unpack 4 secrets about car servicing in South Africa in our deep dive guide.
Common City Driving Issues in the Gardens Area
Stop-start traffic and steep Gardens hills can take a toll on your car.
Worn Brakes
City traffic wears down brake pads quickly. Squeaking or grinding noises mean it’s time for a check-up to ensure your safety.
Clutch Slipping
Hill starts in Gardens and Vredehoek put stress on your clutch. If the revs go up but the car doesn’t move fast, call us.
Overheating
Idling in traffic can cause cars to overheat if the fan or thermostat fails. Don’t risk engine damage on a hot Cape Town day.
Battery Failure
Short trips in the city often don’t charge the battery fully. If your car struggles to start, we can replace the battery quickly.
Warning Lights
Engine light on? We use professional diagnostics to identify the issue accurately, saving you time and money.
Poor Performance
Rough idling or high fuel consumption? A minor service or tune-up can restore your vehicle’s efficiency.
