We don't just fix cars, we help people get to where they need to be safely and reliably.
Driving your car in South Africa is considered the accepted way of transport for most people and families. Our mission at The MotoMech is to serve our clients by providing professional and cost-effective services to help you stay on the road with your car or bakkie.
Our unique approach to fixing cars is to do all work relating to repairs correctly the first time around and have our clients back on the road as quickly as possible. We do this by communicating and managing expectations with our clients related to all work carried out and keeping them in the loop at all times with the status of the work.
Our family-run business was founded in 2023 by married couple Llian and Antoinette Van den Berg in Kimberley, South Africa. The young couple is passionate about the automotive repair industry and eager to serve local Kimberlites and out-of-town clients in fixing and servicing their cars & bakkies.
