Customer Reviews

Ziyaad DSG

Outstanding Service - Highly Recommended! My car's alternator belt snapped at Canal Walk Mall after 6pm. Every mobile mechanic I called said they couldn't help because parts shops were closed. Then I found Dayne -- he immediately said he would help, found the part, arrived, fixed my car right there in the parking lot, ran a full diagnostic test, and sent me a detailed report. Outstanding service from an outstanding gentleman!

Ashley Botha

I had an excellent experience with this car service! The staff were friendly, professional, and very helpful. They kept me updated throughout the process and made sure I understood everything. My car feels brand new again, and the turnaround time was impressive. Highly recommend!

Finn Du Plessis

If you're looking for someone who is reliable, kind, and honest, this is the place to go. I was informed of the process every step of the way and he was willing to accommodate for my schedule. He even managed to find the parts needed at far cheaper than a normal workshop. He's now my go-to for all the car things.

Brian te Water

Outstanding service and advice. My 20 year old Land Rover Freelander was in urgent need of some TLC and Dayne performed miracles to get it back into excellent condition. Cannot recommend him highly enough.

Pabalelo Prince Maake

I'm very happy with the car diagnostic service. He arrived quickly after my call and provided excellent service at a fair price. Everything was handled professionally and efficiently. Highly recommend!!!

How Often Should You Change Your Oil?

Modern engines typically need oil changes every 10,000-15,000 km or annually. This depends on:

  • Oil type used (synthetic lasts longer than mineral)
  • Driving conditions (city traffic vs. highway)
  • Manufacturer's service manual recommendations

Signs Your Car Needs an Oil Change

Dashboard Oil Light

If your oil warning light comes on, stop immediately and book service.

Dark, Dirty Oil

Fresh oil is amber. Dark brown or black means it's time for a change.

Engine Knocking Sounds

Metal-on-metal contact creates knocking when oil loses lubrication properties.

Excessive Exhaust Smoke

Blue smoke indicates oil burning in the combustion chamber.

Pricing varies based on your vehicle and oil type. Here's what affects your quote:

Oil Type & Quantity

Synthetic costs more; engines need 4-7 litres typically.

Vehicle Make & Model
