The workshop

A mechanic inspecting a white SUV on a lift in a bright workshop

Three bays, no queue

We book what we can finish.

Three lifts and three people. We take as many cars as we can do properly by five, so yours is not parked in the yard waiting.

Diagnose, then quote

Nothing is guessed at.

A scan and a look before a price. If we cannot find a fault, you pay for the hour we spent looking and nothing else.

Rinsed before you collect

It leaves cleaner than it came.

Every car gets a rinse and the seat covers come off before the keys go back. Small, but people notice.

Kwikstert opened in a single bay in 2011 and named itself after the wagtail that walked the workshop floor every morning. It is still one owner, one site and the same rule: show the customer the part.

Workshop founded in 2011 (part of the fictional story).

Questions, answered

The things people ask at the counter. Anything else, call or WhatsApp us.

No. The quote on WhatsApp is the price. If we find something else, we send a new line with a photo and a price, and it only gets done if you say yes.

Card, tap or EFT when you collect. We do not take deposits for services.

R650 for a full scan and road test, taken off the bill if you go ahead with the repair.

Independent workshops may service cars that are still under warranty, as long as the work follows the manufacturer's schedule and uses parts of matching quality. We stamp the book and keep the invoices.

Original parts or approved equivalents from known brands. The quote says which, and you can ask for original parts on any line.

Twelve months or 20 000 km on parts and labour, whichever comes first.

Between 07:30 and 08:30 for same-day work. Most services are ready by 16:00.

We run a lift to Strand station and anywhere within 5 km, mornings only. Ask when you book.

For a minor service, yes. There is coffee and a desk with plugs.
