Durban - Out of Warranty Repairs

Post by Mark Bennett »

I am based in Durban - does anyone know a non-dealer workshop in the Durban area that will be able to service my Patrol. I suspect I may need a clutch replacement, but I also want a basic service. Thanks in advance. Mark

Hi,

Firstly, welcome to the forum!!

Off hand I think one of the best guys to ask would be Jules here on the forum. Try sending him a PM, and hopefully he will be able to put you onto someone who can help you...... http://patrol4x4.co.za/memberlist.php?m ... ofile&u=72

I only know the Patrol Gurus in Cape Town and Gauteng.....
Regards

Welkom Mark
Not to sure about Durban area, what you can perhaps do is find out from your Nissan dealership if they do not gave a out of warranty hourly rate , some of the dealers that are not part of a group do that, I will however find out from my connection at Nissan Balito whom he can recommend

I had the same issue when I was still in KZN. I scratched around and was put onto a guys by the name of Peter. Here is his number

+27 8 three 607 three 10 eight

He was recommended to me by my wife's Uncle, he gets his bakkie done there and I think he said that Peter used to be a Patrol owner also but I speak under correction... Apparently he specializes in large 4x4 vehicles and services and has a good reputation. I didnt go to him in the end as he was away on holiday and I moved shortly after but you could check him out.
When in doubt throttle out !

Good Morning All

Just reviving an old thread. My Y61 3.0 diesel is due for its first out of motor plan service and I’d also like it to have a good general check over as I’m due to do a few big trips this year.

Does anyone have any current recommendations for patrol gurus I can take it to in the greater Durban area ? I’m in Ballito but happy to take it wherever the skills are.

Failing a good recommendation I will plan a work trip to JHB and get one of the guys up there to sort it. Michael Styn I think the name was.

Thank you!
