Why Du Toit's
Not Just a Mechanic. A Name You Can Rely On.
We built this business on the one thing no garage can fake: showing up when you need it most, doing the job right, and charging what we quoted.
Transparent Pricing
We quote before we start. Always. If the scope changes, we tell you before we proceed. Your approval, every step. No hidden labour fees or markup on parts.
Fast Response
Average dispatch within 10 minutes of your call. Average on-site arrival across Cape Town metro: 25 minutes. We track our response times because we're proud of them.
All Major Brands
Toyota, VW, Ford, BMW, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Renault, Isuzu and more. Petrol and diesel. We carry parts for the most common Cape Town vehicles.
30+ Years Experience
Between our mechanics, over three decades of hands-on experience in Cape Town's roads and workshops. We have seen every problem. We know how to fix it.
No Tow Truck Needed
Over 80% of call-outs resolved on-site. We carry tools, diagnostic equipment, and the most commonly needed parts. Your car moves under its own power, not on a flatbed.
What Customers Say
Real People. Real Breakdowns. Real Help.
Don't take our word for it — here's what Cape Town drivers say about us.
Fast and professional! The mobile service saved my day. Thank you!
Edia Gathegi
Client
We have spent thousands on "repairs"! Within minutes of starting the car, Michael isolated the problem. He is now our preferred supplier and we will in future only be using his services.
Carol Gerber
Client
I was 100% satisfied with his workmanship and his all-round professionalism. His rates are reasonable and he makes use of high quality parts. He does not hesitate to walk the extra mile for the customer.
Waldo Cloete
Client
Great experience from start to finish. Michael knows his cars well, and was able to help me on very short notice. Work was done extremely quickly, and done well! I would highly recommend to anyone.

Our Story
Built for Cape Town's Roads. Built for You.
Du Toit's Mobile Auto was founded out of a frustration every Cape Town driver knows — waiting three hours for a tow truck when all you needed was someone with the right tool and the right knowledge to fix it on the spot.
We're a family business, not a franchise. When you call us, you speak to the mechanic. When we arrive, we get to work. No subcontractors, no call centre intermediaries, no inflated workshop rates — just a qualified artisan and a fully stocked mobile workshop at your location.
After 30 years in Cape Town's automotive industry, we've built a reputation on three things: arriving when we say we will, charging what we quoted, and fixing it properly the first time. That's the business. That's the standard.
