OUR SERVICES

Vehicle Servicing

Your vehicle should be serviced every 6 months or 10,000km, which ever comes first.

At Howick Auto Center & Electrical we provide preventative maintenance programmes for all petrol and diesel vehicles, vans and 4x4s. Regular servicing has proven to be more cost effective than not servicing your vehicle at all.

Howick Auto Center & Electrical is fully equipped to service Electric and Hybrid cars, with skilled and trained technicians
