Legends Auto Strand - What an Awesome Company

Hi All I would like to share something with my friends and car lovers regarding an experience I had over the last few weeks. In July my daughter bought a Fiat Abarth. A really special little car from Legends Auto in the Strand, Cape Town. The arranged everything and ensured the car was shipped safely to Johannesburg.

After about 4 weeks we had an intermittent issue. When the car had been parked for a while it would start but not select a gear. This issue would go away after a few hours – but was concerning.

We took the car to 2 Fiat dealers in Pretoria as well as one in Waterfall, Roodepoort – what a joke – they had absolutely no idea what was going on – but were happy to provide quotes of up to R175k to replace gearboxes computers etc. (YES -ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND RAND!!!).

This is where Legends Auto stepped in. From Cape Town they found a specialist gearbox mechanic (Brad Goodson – From Brads Auto & Gearbox Repairs) and arranged for us to take the car there. From here they addressed everything!!

They arranged and paid for a hire car for my daughter that she used through the whole ordeal.

Brad striped the Selespeed box found the issue and rebuilt it. He clearly is the guru in our country, and I recommend him to anyone who has an Alfa or other car with this box.

Legends paid for everything – not a question at all. Even stepping up and sorting out some of the Fiat dealership cost (that in my opinion were purely rip-offs by incompetent dealerships with incompetent part-swappers (definitely not mechanics).

Thank you Legends Auto (And PJ Van Zyl) you guys rock – I will recommend you to anyone buying a car.

And also, thanks to Brad for your professional s****s.

To the Fiat dealerships – You guys really need to lift your game and educate your technical staff to know your product – or at least have guys like Brad on call who do!!!!
