We don't just fix cars, we help people get to where they need to be safely and reliably.
Driving in South Africa is the primary mode of transportation for many individuals and families. At The MotoMech, our mission is to provide professional and cost-effective services that keep you on the road with your car or bakkie.
We take a unique approach to car repairs by ensuring that all repair work is done correctly the first time, allowing our clients to get back on the road as quickly as possible. We achieve this by effectively communicating and managing expectations regarding all the work we undertake, keeping our clients informed about the status of their repairs at all times.
Founded in 2023 by married couple Llian and Antoinette Van den Berg in Kimberley, South Africa, our family-run business is passionate about the automotive repair industry. We are dedicated to serving local Kimberlites as well as out-of-town clients looking to fix and service their cars and bakkies. Our founders are entrepreneurs, supported by a network of partners from Impact mobile auto electrician services.
