EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS
Dear Team, I recently made a purchase from START MY CAR on the BobShop app. I’m pleased to share that although the estimated availability was approximately one week from the payment date, I required the part urgently. I reached out to your support team and was assured that the item would be ready if I arranged collection with my courier. True to your word, the part arrived the very next day. It was professionally packaged, received in excellent condition, and exactly as advertised—precisely what I needed. Thank you to the entire START MY CAR team for your outstanding service. Truly legendary. Kind regards, Reginald Roux

Quality products with speedy service
The Start My Car team had the best price for spark plugs in the country. I ordered them on a Wednesday morning and they arrived at my place in Cape Town less than 48 hours later. The spark plugs were original quality and were a breeze to install. Thanks for the great service. I'll definitely be shopping with you again.

Online ordering and supply
I've been buying car parts for a number of years now and not once was I supp**** the incorrect or faulty parts. I order and pay online and collect when ready. 9/10 times the order is ready for collection on the same day. Deserving of 5 stars.
