From the dealership floor to his own workshop.

Our story

Twenty years on Mercedes-Benz.

Tatenda Murimbika studied automotive engineering at the Harare Institute of Technology, then spent a decade as a technician at the Mercedes-Benz dealerships in Bryanston and Strydom Park. In 2015 he took that experience and opened FixOn Auto — a workshop that does one thing, and does it properly.

Today Mercedes owners from across Randburg and the north-west of Johannesburg bring their cars to Kya Sand for dealer-level know-how without dealership prices. Tatenda is still hands-on as owner and senior technician — the logo says it simply: we have the wheel.

“If you're driving a Mercedes-Benz… I could be your new-found friend.”
