Goodmorning,
In about a week I am driving my Hilux to Joburg after 9 months trip through Africa. I want some simple things done (backseat in, fridge to the back and general checkover). Does anyone have any tips on good mechanics in Johannesburg area?
Thanks! Krik.

The Land Cruiser guys has a lot of praise for Ralph from Toyo Service Center - 011 660 8834
Apparently he is a genius with Hilux'es as well.
He is in Krugersdorp.
