    What Makes A Trustworthy Car Garage?

    Finding a good car garage with mechanics you can trust can be tricky. That being said, most car mechanics do their job to help people, fix motors and ensure customers get back on the road quickly. However, it only takes one garage with a poor reputation to make customers wary when trying to choose the right one.  

    We’ll take a look at the factors to take into consideration, whether you’re a mechanic or a customer, that suggests a garage is trustworthy and reliable.  

    Professional attitude  

    Mechanics at a dependable garage will demonstrate good customer service and professionalism. They’ll explain any work that needs carrying out without complicated jargon and give customers an accurate time scale. Professional employees will also be transparent and patient if customers ask any questions.  

    At the same time, a customer shouldn’t be afraid to raise any issues, especially if they’re unsure of any aspect of their car repair.  

    The right tools  

    Any reliable professional will be armed with the right equipment. As a mechanic, you’ll need a kit of essential tools including a torque wrench, such as one from RS, for loosening tight wheel nuts and a hoist for removing entire vehicle engines. Tools should be of high quality and regularly maintained.  

    Health and safety  

    Any competent garage will stick to the correct health and safety regulations, both for their mechanics and customers. This involves taking the right precautions when working with dangerous equipment as well as keeping walkways free from items to avoid accidents and injuries. Accidents that occur in mechanical settings can be serious, or even fatal, so following the guidelines is imperative.   

    Correct pricing  

    No customer wants to be ripped off, but it can be easy for this to happen at an unreliable garage if someone is unsure of the standard costs of parts or labour. Customers are unlikely to return if they think prices are too high in comparison to other garages, particularly with other vehicle costs, such as fuel, increasing. Fair pricing, however, will benefit both parties.   

    Reputation 

    Many customers choose a garage based on word-of-mouth reputation and reviews. Testimonials are important in this industry so mechanics should encourage feedback and provide a high standard of service, whether they’re simply changing a tyre or replacing multiple parts.  

    Accessibility is also a key aspect, so drivers are likely to check out local mechanics first. Building good working relationships in the area can benefit car garage businesses and increase return customers.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
