Need to Know

Straight answers to common questions.

My bakkie is smoking — is the turbo gone? +

Not necessarily. Smoke can point to oil leaking into the turbo, but it can also be an engine issue. Bring it in for a diagnostic check and we’ll tell you exactly what is happening before replacing parts.

Do you work on all bakkies? +

We handle turbo work for a wide range of bakkie makes and models. If you are unsure about yours, just send us a WhatsApp with the vehicle details and we will confirm.

Can you rebuild my original turbo? +

In most cases, yes. We strip down your existing unit, inspect the internals, and replace the worn components. Rebuilding saves you money compared to buying a brand new turbo outright.

How long does a turbo job take? +

It depends on the exact problem and parts availability. Simple fits might be done quickly, while complex rebuilds take longer. We always give you a clear timeframe after diagnosing the vehicle.

Do I need to book before coming in? +

We operate in-store from Monday to Friday. It is always best to call or message us first so we can expect you and get your bakkie sorted as quickly as possible.
