According to Juvens Hakorimana, the Managing Director, the garage provides technicians, high-quality products, affordable pricing, customer-centric approaches, comprehensive services, state-of-the-art equipment, and fast and efficient solutions. “We give each customer the assurance that their vehicle is well-maintained by providing the highest quality automotive products and services delivered quickly and conveniently in a superior environment by friendly, professional staff, emphasising integrity in every action,” he said. Hakorimana highlighted a pressing issue with the maintenance of new hybrid cars, particularly Korean models. He explained that these vehicles often suffer from underserved maintenance due to the use of incorrect lubricant oils. “Many garages end up using just any oil, which leads to poor service,” he said. “Our garage uses a specialised lubricant oil called ‘Kixx’ for Korean hybrid cars. It's imported from Korea. This is a trusted lubricant known for its reliability and has never been reported to cause engine damage. This is the key factor that distinguishes our service from others.” In addition to Korean cars, the garage caters to other brands, including German models like Benz, Audi, and Volkswagen, as well as American brands such as Jeep and GMC. “Other garages often lack specialised lubricant oils for these cars, but we have them all, ready to serve everyone. We pay close attention to the viscosity of the oils,” he noted. Other products, include engine washing oils, lubricant oils: Opera Jet (from Belgium) – for European cars, Deutschol 5W-30 – specifically for German cars and more within the store. The garage is also equipped with a variety of spare parts, including high-quality shock absorbers, brake pads, and Korean turbos. Additionally, it features advanced equipment such as automated oil-changing machines, diagnostic machines to identify car issues, and car lift machines. At least three cars can be attended at once and each car typically requires about 30 minutes for maintenance using these facilities, according to Hakorimana.
