About Us - Car Service maintenance specialist, Motor Mechanic
Since 1984, Helio, his wife Nellie and their professional team of mechanics have been providing exceptional specialised service at the best possible price. They’re experts in European cars including BMW, Audi, VW, Saab, Volvo, Mercedes, Peugeot, Renault, Fiat and Alfa. They are equally astute with Japanese, Korean and locally made vehicles.
It’s a friendly and considered environment, whereby we discuss any concerns a customer has regarding the repairs of the vehicle as well as inviting them to come and see first hand the nature of the problem - this way you can keep abreast of all developments and costs and be in the decision making process.
