Common Cape Town Repair Scenarios

Panel Beater Delays

Accident damage can take 2-6 weeks to repair in Cape Town. Parts delays, insurance approvals, paint matching - it all adds up. Don't spend weeks relying on friends and Uber.

Typical: 3-4 weeks

Major Service Running Long

What was supposed to be a 2-day service turned into 2 weeks. Found engine problems, transmission issues, or need parts? Keep your schedule intact with a replacement vehicle.

Typical: 1-3 weeks

Waiting for Parts

"Parts are on order from overseas." Sound familiar? Common in Cape Town. Parts can take 4-10 weeks to arrive. Don't wait without transport.

Typical: 2-10 weeks

Insurance Claim Processing

Insurance assessor hasn't been out yet? Waiting for claim approval? This can take weeks. Get a replacement now and sort out payments later.

Typical: 2-6 weeks

Unexpected Mechanical Breakdown

Engine seized? Gearbox failed? Electrical gremlins? Major mechanical issues can take time to diagnose and repair. Keep working, keep living.

Typical: 1-4 weeks

Real Cape Town Story

🚗

"My car got hit in a parking lot and the panel beater said 3 weeks. I called CapeDrive that morning, and by 2pm I had a replacement car at my office. The repair ended up taking 5 weeks because of parts delays, but I just extended the rental - no stress. Would have cost me a fortune in Uber, and I would've been so stressed without a car."

— Sandra K., Gardens Resident
