How it works
This is how a repair with us works:
Has your car broken down? Have your breakdown service bring it to us. Broken-down cars get priority. Read our car breakdown page.
Why choose us?
A family business since 1979, today based in Rotterdam-IJsselmonde, we are an independent garage for all makes and an RDW-approved APK (MOT) station. Customers rate us 4.8 from 230 reviews.
We do many repairs in our own workshop that other garages often send elsewhere: alternators, starter motors, clutches and internal engine work such as a head gasket. That means one point of contact from start to finish.
Our team speaks English. We explain what is wrong with your car in clear, jargon-free English, and you hear the price before we start.
