Mercedes overhaul
I bought a used Mercedes based that it was going very cheap. I bought it for R40 000 cash. I took it to Bert after he had done such a good job on my VW. Bert stripped the car and inspected everything. The Mercedes seemed to drive fine, but little did I know. Bert's inspection brought up alot of things that would have else failed the car at roadworthy. Bert overhauled the suspension, replaced the breaks, gave the car a major service. The bill was R20 000, and I was shocked, until I drove the car! The car has such amazing performance that I did not even know it had, and the ride was so comfortable like a carpet ride when driving over bumps. He replaced so many things, and transformed the car into one of my favorite cars that I have ever owned. At R20 000, it was a steal, and I don't understand how Bert makes money considering all the effort he went through because the value I received was far greater than the R20 000 I spent. I have a car now, that I could easily sell for R100K, and I only spent R60K. I will recommend B Osmers Auto Clinic, to anyone who is looking for a genuine mechanic, who will find the problems and fix them, so that you may stay on the road. He is the last of the "old school generation" and I don't think there is anything he cannot fix.

Old car as good as new
I have a VW Polo TDI which has over 400 000km on the clock. Since the turbo blew, thanks to the VW dealership incompetence in replacing a U-Pipe for R150 which caused the turbo to over-boost and blow the turbo, the car has never being the same. It went into limp mode on hills, had high fuel consumption. For years it went from VW specialists to VW specialists with the same issues unable to be resolved. Eventually my cylinder head cracked and started using water. I was referred to Bert at B Osmers Auto Clinic. He did the whole job for for under half the price as other outlets, and fixed all my issues that I had previously. He noted things that were not replaced that I was billed for like air filters, fuel filters, incorrect calipers, everything that was replaced and charged by VW Dealerships and other mechanics. Seems like they only washed my car on every service. Bert is honest and his pricing is beyond fair. The car drives like she is brand new, and now I look forward to the next 400 000km!
