What We Do
We’re your one-stop solution for everything your car needs. From complete engine overhauls and transmission repairs to precision panel beating and showroom-quality spray painting—we handle it all with dealership-level diagnostics and garage-level honesty. Our Scan-Inspect-Test protocol, Launch and Autel diagnostics, and mandatory quality sign-offs mean you see exactly what’s broken before we fix it, and you get proof of every repair. Whether Nairobi’s potholes destroyed your suspension or stop-and-go traffic killed your clutch, we’ve rebuilt, restored, and repaired it hundreds of times before.
Engine Overhaul & Mechanical Repairs
Dead engine? We bring it back to life.
Complete engine rebuilds aren’t guesswork—they’re precision engineering. We scan with Launch and Autel diagnostics, strip it down, replace worn components, and reassemble to factory specs. You get itemized quotes and all old parts returned for verification. Whether it’s blown head gaskets, worn piston rings, or complete engine failure—we’ve rebuilt hundreds across Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, Mercedes, and BMW platforms. Petrol or diesel. Japanese or European. Rebuilt right, tested thoroughly, backed by our quality guaran
Panel Beating & Spray Painting
Accident damage erased. Showroom finish guaranteed.
Precision panel beating eliminates every dent and crease using professional tools and techniques that restore metal to its original form. Advanced color-matching technology ensures perfect paint blends that rival factory finishes. Frame straightening restores structural integrity, not just cosmetic appearance. From minor scratches and door dings to major collision repairs with crushed panels—we handle it all with multi-stage sanding, rust treatment, and showroom-quality spray painting. Before-and-after documentation proves we make it look like it never happened.
Suspension & Steering Repairs
Utawala’s potholes destroying your ride? We fix it.
Worn shocks, broken springs, damaged control arms, and misaligned wheels—we’ve seen what Nairobi’s roads do to suspension systems. We replace with heavy-duty parts built specifically for brutal local conditions, not cheap replacements that fail in six months. Computerized wheel alignment delivers smooth, responsive steering that doesn’t pull left or right. Complete undercarriage inspection catches hidden damage others miss. Stop the bounce. End the pull. Drive straight and smooth again.
Brake System Service
Stop-and-go traffic demands brakes that actually stop.
Complete brake service covers pads, rotors, fluid flush, caliper cleaning, and ABS diagnostics—not just slapping on new pads. We measure rotor thickness, test brake fluid moisture content, and ensure your ABS sensors function properly. Every vehicle gets brake cleaning as standard because stopping power isn’t optional in Nairobi’s heavy traffic. We resurface or replace warped rotors, bleed brake lines properly, and adjust emergency brakes. Safe stops in stop-and-go traffic. Every single time.
Routine Service & Maintenance
Oil changes are basic. Our 30-point inspection saves money.
Engine oil and filter replacement, air filter change, brake cleaning, fluid top-ups, battery test, and comprehensive safety inspection covering brakes, lights, belts, hoses, and potential leaks. We check what dealerships charge extra for—coolant levels, power steering fluid, tire pressure, and visual inspection for worn components. Nairobi’s dusty conditions destroy air filters faster than anywhere else, so we replace them before they choke your engine. We catch problems while they’re cheap to fix—not after they strand you on Mombasa Road with an expensive tow bill.
Computerized Diagnostics
Check engine light? We scan, explain, fix the real problem.
Launch and Autel diagnostics read fault codes across all systems: engine, ABS, SRS airbags, transmission, emissions, and more. Live data analysis shows real-time sensor performance, catching intermittent problems others miss with basic code readers. We don’t just read the code and guess—we interpret what it means, test the actual components, and fix the root cause. Modern cars are computers on wheels, and generic scanners can’t access manufacturer-specific systems. We have the professional-grade technology dealerships use, without the dealership price.
Clutch & Transmission Repairs
Slipping clutch? Grinding gears? Fixed properly.
Complete clutch assembly replacement includes pressure plate, disc, release bearing, and flywheel inspection—not just the clutch disc that most garages swap out. We resurface or replace flywheels when needed because installing a new clutch on a damaged flywheel guarantees premature failure. Manual and automatic transmission service built to handle Nairobi’s brutal stop-and-go punishment. Transmission fluid flush, linkage adjustment, and hydraulic system repairs for smooth, responsive shifts. No slipping. No grinding. Done right the first time.
Cooling System Service
Overheating in traffic? We keep your engine cool.
Radiator flush and refill with premium coolant, pressure testing for leaks, thermostat testing and replacement, and water pump inspection. Sitting in Nairobi traffic for hours generates extreme heat that standard cooling systems struggle to handle. We use heavy-duty coolant designed for stop-and-go stress and test fan clutches and electric fans to ensure proper airflow. Hose inspection catches cracks before they burst and leave you stranded with steam pouring from the hood. Because overheating on Mombasa Road isn’t just inconvenient—it’s a fast track to expensive engine damage.
Electrical System Repairs
Dead battery? Flickering lights? We trace it to the source.
Battery load testing, alternator output diagnostics, starter motor repair, and complete wiring inspection for corrosion and shorts. We don’t just jump your battery and hope for the best—we test the entire charging system to find parasitic drains that kill batteries overnight. Fuse box inspection, headlight and taillight repairs, and tracing electrical gremlins that blow fuses randomly. Modern cars have complex electrical systems, and guesswork doesn’t work. We find the problem permanently—not temporarily patch it until it fails again next week.
Professional Detailing
Make your car look as good as it runs.
Deep interior cleaning covers seats, carpets, dashboard, door panels, and every surface dust and grime hide in. Exterior wash, clay bar treatment to remove embedded contaminants, polishing to restore paint shine, and protective wax application. Engine bay cleaning and degreasing makes your engine compartment showroom-clean. Leather conditioning prevents cracking, fabric protection guards against stains, and headlight restoration eliminates yellowing and cloudiness. From dusty daily driver to showroom shine that protects your investment and makes every drive feel premium.
