Engine & drivetrain
Timing belts and chains, water pumps, head gaskets, clutch replacement, gearbox mounts, driveshaft and CV joint work. We carry the common belts, filters and gaskets for Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Hyundai and Kia — the five makes that make up most of the traffic on this coast — so a job that would normally wait on a parts order often finishes the same afternoon.
If your car is overheating, losing coolant, or knocking under load, stop driving it and call. Those three symptoms turn a two-hour repair into a two-week one faster than anything else we see.
Brakes & suspension
Pads, discs, drums, calipers, brake lines and bleeding. Shock absorbers, struts, control arms, ball joints, tie rod ends and wheel bearings. Serekunda's roads are hard on suspension — potholes, speed humps and the unpaved stretches off the highway eat bushings faster than most owners expect.
We'll show you the worn part before it goes in the bin. No "we replaced it, trust us."
Electrics & diagnostics
Battery testing and replacement, alternators, starters, wiring faults, fuses, relays, earth straps, window motors, central locking and lighting. We run an OBD-II scanner on anything built after 2001 and read the fault codes with you standing there, so you know what the light actually means instead of guessing.
Intermittent electrical faults are the ones that waste people's money. Bring us the symptom — "it cuts out when I turn the AC on" is a better clue than any code.
Servicing & fluids
Full and interim services: engine oil and filter, air filter, fuel filter, cabin filter, spark plugs, coolant flush, brake fluid, power steering fluid, gearbox oil. We use the grade your manufacturer specifies, not whatever's cheapest on the shelf.
Regular servicing at the right interval is the single cheapest thing you can do to a car in this climate. Dust, heat and humidity are unforgiving.
Roadside & breakdown
Flat batteries, flat tyres, snapped belts, cars that won't start, cars that start and die, keys locked in, overheating on the highway. We cover Serekunda, Bijilo, Kololi, Fajara, Bakau, Kanifing, Serrekunda Market and the stretch of the Bertil Harding Highway between the airport junction and Westfield.
Call and describe where you are — a landmark, a junction, a shop name. We know the area well enough that "opposite the petrol station past the traffic lights" usually gets us there.
Pre-purchase checks
Buying a used car? We'll come to the seller's location and go over it properly: compression, fluids, brakes, suspension play, rust in the usual places, accident repair hiding under fresh paint, and a full code scan. You get a straight verbal verdict and a written list of what it needs and roughly what it'll cost.
It's the cheapest money you'll spend on a car you're about to buy.
