Question 1

Do you really come to me?

Accepted Answer

Yes – that is what we do. Albert comes to your home, office or the roadside anywhere in KuGompo City (East London), from Abbotsford, Vincent and Nahoon to Beacon Bay and Gonubie. Send your address or live location on WhatsApp and we confirm the call-out fee and arrival time before we leave.

Question 2

Is East London the same as KuGompo City?

Accepted Answer

Yes. East London was officially renamed KuGompo City in 2025. We still serve all the same suburbs – our base is at 6 Casey Lane, Abbotsford.

Question 3

What can you fix on site?

Accepted Answer

Services, diagnostics, batteries, starters, alternators, brakes, clutches, timing belts, cooling system repairs and most suspension work are done where the car is parked. Bigger jobs like engine overhauls are quoted first and planned with you.

Question 4

Which vehicles do you work on?

Accepted Answer

All makes and models – Toyota, Volkswagen, Nissan, Ford, Hyundai, Honda and Isuzu, right up to Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and Volvo – plus bakkies and minibuses like the Quantum and H1.

Question 5

Is there a call-out fee?

Accepted Answer

There is a call-out fee that depends on the distance from Abbotsford. We always tell you the fee before we travel, so there are no surprises.

Question 6

How do your quotes work?

Accepted Answer

After diagnosing your vehicle we send an itemised quote – usually 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, we contact you first.

Question 7

Will servicing with you affect my new-car warranty?

Accepted Answer

No. South Africa's automotive aftermarket guidelines allow you to have your car serviced and repaired by an independent mechanic during the warranty period, as long as the work is done to manufacturer specifications with quality parts. We stamp your service book and keep a full record.

Question 8

Do you use original parts?

Accepted Answer

We use original (OEM) parts or quality equivalents from trusted suppliers. Your quote shows which, so you can choose based on budget and preference.

Question 9

How can I pay?

Accepted Answer

You can pay by EFT or cash when the job is done. You receive a detailed invoice on WhatsApp or email for your records.

Question 10

Do you guarantee your work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our workmanship is guaranteed, and parts carry the supplier's warranty. Ask us for the details that apply to your job.
