RMI 5 STAR GRADED WORKSHOP

The Owner, Carel van der Walt has a particular interest and love of cars, ranging from pre WWII single seat Grand Prix racers with the likes of Auto Union Type C and D, and Mercedes W 154 and W25 to modern day race cars. He has awe and admiration of sensually curved aluminium and intricate patterns of pop rivets that has a certain sense of appeal. He is well travelled and raced amongst other supercars on the one and only Top Gear Test Track, and no, The Stig was not there… He had the opportunity to experience and appreciate first-hand the beauty of the bare naked aluminium Porsche Type 64 and the awesomely breath-taking 1934 Silver Arrows in Stuttgard. Nürburgring in a Group C Series Porsche 962 is still on his Bucket List, but for now doing 122kts 40Ft AGL in a BK 117 B1 with 750 HP twin turbines or skiing and mountain biking makes him smile.

So happy to have finally found a technically capable, honest, reliable mechanical workshop.  The level of detail and transparency is perfect, as is the regular convenient communication via Whatsapp.  Will definitely be back!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. **Outstanding Service at Racing Technic & Smokem – A Rare Gem in the Automotive World!**

When my Golf GTI MK7 needed a major service, I was initially stunned by the exorbitant quote of over 15,000 ZAR from the dealership where the car was serviced during its warranty period. Fortunately, my search led me to Carel at Racing Technik, a decision that turned out to be a silver lining. Not only was Carel personable and attentive, but his quote was also less than half of what the dealership demanded.

Carel conducted a thorough major service that rejuvenated my car, making it feel better than ever. His expertise didn't stop with just the service; he recommended Smokem for some bodywork on my car. The team next door at Smokem handled the dents and scratches with such professionalism that my vehicle now looks as pristine as a showroom model.

Additionally, when a warning light appeared shortly after the service, Carel's prompt and efficient handling of the situation was nothing short of exemplary. He quickly identified and fixed a missed connector issue at no extra cost and even delivered the car to my workplace in Sea Point from Paarden Island — all within half an hour.

It's rare to encounter such dedicated and customer-oriented service in today's automotive service industry. Carel at Racing Technic, along with the team at Smokem, have not only earned this five-star review but also my utmost trust and future business. Highly recommended for anyone seeking top-notch automotive care with a personal touch!

I was a difficult customer ;) Carel and his team made my Audi Q3 healthy again with a 'real turbo' now it flies! If you want the best this is it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would recommend Racing Technik to everyone i know. Clean workshop. I was told my crank sensor had failed after two week at another workshop. But Mr Van Der Walt found the real fault less than 24hrs of fault finding. Great work and great workmanship.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took my 2010 BMW x5 to Racing Technik with a vibration experience on my steering wheel. I have had the privilege to experience one of the best customer services if not the best. The communication, regular feedback and detail explanation was excellent and was a confirmation of the thoroughness the task was approached. The organised and neat workshop and office are testimony of the meticulous approach of Carel and the team.  Carel went far beyond expectation in correcting the problematic components on my vehicle.  A very big thank you from me.
