McDees Auto Works | Mechanic and Parts

Our car was stored for 2 years here due to COVID. Alex took good care for the car and even helped us with some difficult carnet de passage issues.

He work sometimes a bit too much with the African spirit so things can go slow but he's a man you can trust

STAY AWAY! Better to go to CMC, even if it's more expensive. At the end, it may cost you more to bring your car here.

I got there with a problem with the front propeller shaft. I said they could just take it out and leave the car without 4x4. Alex, the boss, told me the car wasn't made to function that way and gave me a cheap offer. It took longer than expected, because you have to be there pushing people if you want your car to be fixed. For me it took 3 weeks. The worse is that they "found" more problems. After 1000 kms, almost all the problems they fixed (that ended up costing a lot more) came back worse.

The worst thing is that I, not them, spotted some leaks from broken seals they putted. They even denied at first it was leaking. During the final test, I told Alex the front prop shaft was still vibrating a little. He said it was normal and blamed the modifications.

Entering Zambia all hell broke loose.

So, I took the front shaft propeller out myself, as I instructed Alex to do, and now it's fine.

Short, stay away

Very professional car workshop. It not seems like one, but they deal with the most complicated modern cars such as Range Rover, VW, BMW and of course Toyota and others. they have diagnostics computers and all of the equipment. Alex the owner is super helpful and friendly.
