Nicest mechanic ever! His quote was the most affordable and I am happy to have done the major car service by him. I will definitely be a happy returning customer.

Solly did a great job for a great price. He kept me informed throughout the day and went beyond just giving my car a regular service. He was also able to identify a problem with my key which Ford wanted to charge me 4k to fix. I will definitely be using Solly for my annual service.

Solly did an excellent job replacing my car's shock absorbers. He was professional and always available if I had any questions. I would not hesitate to recommend his services.

Agent quoted R14 000. Solly did a great job at a 3rd of that price. Continuous updates on the progress. Definitely would use him in future if needed and will be recommending him to my friends as well.

Got on the website and Mechanic Buddy popped up as I was searching for a Ford Kuga Clutch set. Ford Bruma gave me a quote of R28K, I was stressed and paid R900 for diagnostics after rejecting ford's quote. Solly gave me a very reasonable quote and came with me to fetch the car from ford. the next day, we got the clutch and and release bearing and the car was sorted by the following day for a quarter of the quote from ford. I would recommend Solly's Auto 100%. He kept me updated all the way. I have my car back in excellent working order.

Filled in request online and within a half an hour received a Quote from Solly. Solly then followed up and and came out and repaired the Hyundai i20 ignition. Very happy with the level of service and prompt response from Solly, will defiantly recommend him based on my experience

Unfortunately the issue was not the Clutch Master Cylinder as initially thought however this was no fault of Solly's. He worked through the process by first checking if there was a leak in the fluid and then replaced the Master Cylinder. This didnt solve the problem then he moved to the Slave Cylinder however when removing the gearbox it was evident that a clutch kit and flywheel was also required. Solly took his time and completed the work at my home which meant I didnt have to pay for towing costs. It was an expensive exercise due to the parts required but all in all I probably save R20k+ not doing the work through Ford. Solly is an awesome guy and knows what he is doing and I would highly recommend him.

Solly is a great mechanic and I am very happy with the quality of service received. As a woman we don't understand everything about cars and his advises were clear and that put the mind at ease. My French made car has found a new doctor in town. Thanks to Solomon,πŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎπŸ’ƒπŸΎπŸ’ƒπŸΎ

Very little or few machanics would advice you not to spend too much money buying this and that. I went to solly's Machanic Services with my car having multiple problems which included a Camshaft position sensor problem, consumed a lot of petrol, had a hard start, car did not start on cold weather, car did not have power, needed a push to start everytime and had been previously told by another machanic that a needed a new alternator and fuel pump for power but I visited Solly's Machanic Services only once and upon diagnosis he informed me that the only problem my car had was Timing, They opened it up and fixed my car in less than 5 hours, My car feels completely brand new and I no longer have any of the problems I listed above. Not only did he revive and fix my car, they also saved me alot of money too by pinpointing the problem and therefore fixing absolutely every issue i had wih my car. Plus his pricing is very reasonable too.
