1 You call
Ring 86 698 2656 and tell us the car, the area and what it is doing. A noise, a light, a smell, a refusal to start — describe it however you can. We have heard it before.
Serekunda · Kanifing · Banjul — since 2009
Your car breaks down. We come to it.
A mobile mechanic workshop on wheels. Modou Njie and his two-man crew carry the tools, the diagnostics and the spare parts to your compound, your office car park, or the shoulder of the Bertil Harding Highway — and they work on the spot, seven days a week.
No call-out fee inside the Kanifing Municipality. We answer the phone from midnight onward — because that is when cars actually break.
Most people in Serekunda cannot afford to lose a day of work sitting in a garage queue. So we brought the garage to them.
— Modou Njie, founder
What we fix
Twelve jobs we do at the roadside, every week.
We are not a tow-truck company. We are mechanics who arrive with a full kit and finish the job where the car is parked. If a repair genuinely needs a lift, we tell you straight and help you get the vehicle to a workshop in Kanifing Industrial Estate.
-
01
Engine diagnostics & fault codes
OBD-II scan on petrol and diesel, live data read, then a plain-language explanation of what the code actually means before we touch anything.
-
02
Battery testing, jump-starts & replacement
Load test on site. If the battery is finished we fit a new one from stock — Bosch and ACDelco, 45Ah to 100Ah — and take the old one away.
-
03
Alternator & starter motor
Charging-system test, brush and bearing replacement, or a rebuilt exchange unit fitted the same afternoon.
-
04
Brakes — pads, discs, fluid
Front and rear pad sets, disc skimming or replacement, brake bleeding and a road test on a quiet stretch before we hand the keys back.
-
05
Tyres, punctures & wheel balancing
Puncture repair, tube replacement, spare fitting and torque to spec. We carry 13" to 17" sizes on the van.
-
06
Oil, filters & full service
Engine oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, plugs. Done in your compound in about ninety minutes, with the old parts left out for you to see.
-
07
Cooling system & overheating
Pressure test, radiator flush, thermostat and water-pump replacement, hose and clamp work — the number one call we get in the hot season.
-
08
Suspension, shocks & bushings
Knocking and rattling over the potholes on Kairaba Avenue. We replace shocks, control-arm bushes, ball joints and stabiliser links.
-
09
Clutch & gearbox work
Clutch plate, pressure plate and release bearing. Cable adjustment on older models. Gearbox rebuilds go to our partner bench in Kanifing.
-
10
Air-conditioning regas & repair
Leak detection, compressor and condenser replacement, R134a recharge. In this climate, a working AC is not a luxury.
-
11
Pre-purchase inspection
Forty-point check before you buy a used car — compression, chassis, accident repair, mileage plausibility. Written summary, same day.
-
12
Fleet & taxi maintenance contracts
Scheduled servicing for taxi associations, delivery vans and NGO fleets across Kanifing. Monthly rate, one invoice, we come to the yard.
How it works
Three steps, one phone call.
2 We quote before we move
You get a price range on the phone, not after the work. If the job turns out to be something else once we open the bonnet, we stop and call you before spending another dalasi.
3 We come and finish it
Usually within the hour inside Kanifing, longer if you are out towards Banjul or Bijilo. We work on site, test the car with you present, and only then take payment.
Opening hours
Open six days. Closed Friday.
We keep long days because breakdowns do not respect office hours. Friday is closed for prayers and family — if your car dies on a Friday, call anyway and leave a message; we will be at your gate first thing Saturday.
| Monday | 12:00 AM – 10:00 PM |
|---|---|
| Tuesday | 12:00 AM – 10:00 PM |

Emergency call-outs outside these hours are possible for fleet customers — ask about the night rate when you call.
Where we work
Based in Serekunda. Working across the Greater Banjul Area.
Call or WhatsApp
This is the only way to reach us — we do not run a booking form, and we would rather hear your voice describe the noise than read it in a box.
