Franco and his team assisted me when my car broke down while on holiday in Bela Bela. First assisted by having my car towed to the shop on a public holiday after hours. Did a full diagnosis and promptly fixed the car so I can make it back to Joburg in time. Excellent and timely service. Highly recommend.

He did a BRILLIANT and PROFESSIONAL job. He is definitely there to help and assist, definitely not to rip off people. Thank you so so much, Franco!
