Disc brake related problems such as shuddering, warping, squealing, corroded, glazed or poor performing discs, can all be solved by on-car skimming.
Over a period of time discs become worn and can develop hotspots and runout which you, the driver, can feel as a vibration. This is mostly common on cars with a fixed calliper.
Simply replacing the discs with new ones will not necessarily completely stop the vibration as disc runout can still occur due to the drive flange having runout. If a drive flange gets a runout of 0.002" the disc will have a runout of 0.004"+. Although 0.004" is only the thickness of a hair on your head, pedal and steering wheel movement will be felt inside the car.
We can now skim discs on the vehicle so the disc will be perfectly matched to the drive flange, eliminate any vibration issues and save the cost of replacement.
At first impression thought he was another "ja broer" but when he worked through a weekend to get started and called me as requested to see the faulty clutch which had been replaced by Another Local Mechanic and make a decision as to my next step, Allan provided me with assurance that the job will be done quickly and efficiently and also not to mention ... the cost was very reasonable. I will recommend Allan to anyone who requires a honest mechanic and someone who can deliver.
Our car radiator burst late one evening and started leaking. We knew we had to get it fixed ASAP - we rely on the car daily, so we searched online for an after-hours mechanic in the Noordhoek/Capri area but nothing came up. Luckily my Aunt recommended Allan and he came out to us. He made the arrangements to get the replacement radiator for us and fitted it the next day. Excellent service from Allan and would recommend to anyone.
I have been a customer of Allan's for a number of years, he has worked on both my wife's car and mine and has proved to be most reliable and helpful. I have recommended his services to a number of my friends and they have all been satisfied with his service.
Allan is extremely helpful and his work very reasonable. Very happy with his service and will continue to recommend him to anyone who needs an good & honest mechanic in the area.
I have a rather old car and am often in need of some or other repair. I moved into a new suburb and it took forever to choose someone that I felt I could trust. I am very happy to have found Allan, I know my car is in good hands and it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg. He is reliable and takes the time to explain what the problem is. I am extremely happy with the service he provides an recommend him wholeheartedly.
"If you're looking for a service for your car or repair of sorts, I've used Allan a couple of times and he's affordable as well as friendly (and more importantly let's you know as soon as anything changes re invoice or time to complete etc!)"
I have used Allan's services for the past few years and have had a positive experience every time. He offers great advice and makes sure that all his work is of high quality, at a very reasonable price. He is always willing to help out, and go the extra mile! I would definitely recommend his service to anyone.
Great service. Full value and very satisfied with the work done on repairing a hole in the sump of a Voyager, Chev and also fixed the timing and cooling system of my Land Rover. Highly recommend. Business experience was pleasant and hassle free.
I would just like to commend Allan for always being professional and honest. I can always rely on him when I have a car issue. My car has been to him for various jobs over the past year and a bit and I have never had to take it back a second time. I often refer people who ask me for a local reliable mechanic to Allan. Thank you Allan, you are a true professional.
Thanks very much for the service. We were incredibly impressed, and as a one car family your service was invaluable.

The honesty and integrity of Allan cannot be questioned. Me as a first time customer felt completely at ease when I dropped off the car and got a call that there are extra costs and another part needed. Recommended a friend to take his car there without any hesitation.

Allan went out of his way to find the parts. Overall great,efficient friendly experience.
