Engine repairs & rebuilds
Oil leaks, overheating damage, misfires, low compression or worn internals. We assess the engine’s condition first, then quote a repair or rebuild scoped to what we find. Major engine work is done through the workshop.

Engine repairs & rebuilds • Suspension • Brakes • Diagnostics
Tell Creed Auto Worx what your vehicle is doing. We’ll discuss whether a mobile assessment or workshop visit is the practical next step.
Workshop hours: Monday–Friday, 08:00–16:00 · Breakdowns: 24-hour call-outs by phone
Mobile appointments
For suitable jobs we come to your home or workplace, so you don’t lose a day getting the vehicle to us.
Workshop option
When a job needs more than a driveway — like an engine rebuild or clutch — it’s booked into the workshop.
Direct communication
WhatsApp or call and talk to the person handling your vehicle. Clear updates, no runaround.
What we do
Repairs that keep you moving
Choose a service to start an enquiry — we’ll ask the right questions and tell you whether it’s a mobile or workshop job.
Suspension repairs
Knocks over bumps, clunks, uneven tyre wear or a vehicle that wanders. We check bushes, ball joints, shocks, control arms and linkages, then quote the parts and labour needed.
Brake repairs
Squealing, grinding, a soft pedal or a pull to one side. We inspect pads, discs, drums, calipers and lines and check component condition before quoting any work.
Diagnostics & fault finding
Warning lights, rough running or faults that come and go. We read fault codes where our diagnostic tools are compatible with your vehicle, then test to find the cause. A code points the way — it doesn’t automatically name the part to replace.
Minor & major servicing
Oil and filters, spark plugs and the scheduled maintenance that suits your vehicle and its mileage. We’ll note anything else we see and ask before doing more.
Cooling systems
Overheating, coolant leaks, radiators, thermostats and water pumps. We look for why it’s running hot before replacing parts — and stop driving it if the gauge is climbing.
Battery, starter & alternator
Won’t start, slow cranking or a battery that keeps going flat. We test the starting and charging system and replace the part that has actually failed.
Clutch replacement
Slipping, juddering, a heavy pedal or trouble getting into gear. We assess the clutch and related parts and quote the replacement and any related mechanical repairs.
Timing belts, fleets & more
Timing belts and water pumps, small business fleet maintenance, mobile assistance and workshop repairs by arrangement.
Mobile or workshop?
The right place for the job
Mobile is convenient. The workshop is better for heavy or lengthy work. We’ll recommend the practical option for your vehicle.
Often suitable on site
- Minor and major services
- Brake pads, discs and many brake repairs
- Battery, starter and alternator faults
- Many suspension parts
- Diagnostics and fault finding
- Cooling-system leaks, hoses and thermostats
- Breakdown assessment
Usually workshop work
- Engine rebuilds and major engine work
- Clutch replacement
- Timing belts that need engine-specific tools
- Jobs that need a lift, a press or several days
- Vehicles that aren’t safe to work on where they’re parked
Whether a job can be done on site depends on the fault, your location, safe access, working conditions and the equipment needed. A diagnostic code helps guide the investigation; it doesn’t automatically identify the component that needs replacing. We’ll confirm before we come out.
How it works

Three simple steps — and nothing happens to your vehicle without your go-ahead.

WhatsApp or call with your vehicle’s make, model and year, your area and the problem. Photos, short videos or a picture of the warning light help.

Assessment & quotation

- 03
Approval & repair

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you come to my home or workplace?
Yes, for suitable jobs in Pretoria and Johannesburg. Whether a job can be done on site depends on the fault, safe access, the working surface and the equipment needed. Tell us what’s happening and where the vehicle is, and we’ll say whether a mobile visit makes sense.
Which areas do you cover?
Pretoria and Johannesburg. Travel charges depend on where you are — ask us to confirm the travel charge for your area before we arrange a visit.
Can every repair be done on site?
No. Servicing, many brake and suspension jobs, battery and charging faults and a lot of diagnostics can often be done at your location. Engine rebuilds, clutch work and jobs that need a lift, specialised tools or several days are better done at the workshop. We’ll recommend the practical option.
Is the assessment or call-out chargeable?
Ask us to confirm the assessment and travel charges for your area before arranging a visit, so you know where you stand before we come out.
How do I request a quote?
Send a WhatsApp or use the enquiry form with your vehicle’s make, model and year, your area and a description of the problem. Photos or a short video help. Some faults need an assessment before we can give an accurate quote.
Will you ask before carrying out extra work?
Yes. If we find something beyond the agreed work, we’ll explain what we found and what it will cost, and only go ahead once you’ve approved it.
Can I bring my own parts?
Please ask us before you buy. Whether we can fit customer-supplied parts on your job — and what that means for warranty — is confirmed per job.
Can I arrange a workshop appointment?
Yes. Workshop visits are by appointment, Monday to Friday, 08:00–16:00. WhatsApp or call us to arrange a time.
Do you offer 24-hour breakdown call-outs?
Yes — we’re on call 24 hours for breakdowns in Pretoria and Johannesburg. Call 082 553 9268. Attendance and response time are subject to availability and your location.
For a breakdown, please phone rather than WhatsApp — messages may not be seen straight away. The workshop itself keeps normal weekday hours.
What warranty applies to replacement parts?
Replacement parts carry the applicable supplier warranty, with coverage and claim terms confirmed for the parts supplied. Labour, call-outs and workmanship are covered by separate terms, which we confirm when we quote.
