Following my technical training, I discovered a passion for working with mechanical equipment, particularly assembling and repairing motor vehicle and motorcycle engines. This led me to establish my own vehicle sales business in Newlands, Gauteng, which I successfully operated for 15 years. During this time, I not only excelled in sales and registrations but also developed exceptional communication skills, fostering strong relationships with clients from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
Recognizing an opportunity to expand my expertise, I ventured into the East Rand and Germiston area, where I identified a need for reliable garden services. I leveraged my mechanical skills to service, repair, and maintain equipment, ultimately building a thriving business in motor vehicle and motorcycle servicing and repair. This new venture allowed me to combine my technical expertise with my passion for customer satisfaction and cultural adaptability.
I possess a unique combination of skills, including being a rapid learner, a hands-on problem solver, and a diligent worker. Additionally, I am a versatile and multi-skilled individual, capable of adapting to various tasks and environments with ease.

Garden Equipment Maintenance: Repair and servicing of lawn mowers, ride-on tractors, chain saws, bush cutters, and other equipment.
