Whether your car won’t start in Syokimau, your brakes fail in Kisumu, or your engine overheats halfway to Eldoret—finding a reliable mechanic in Kenya is more than a convenience, it’s a necessity. But not every fundi delivers peace of mind.
Here are five things to check before you book an auto mechanic in Kenya:
✅ 1. Are They Verified and Reviewed?
You’re trusting someone with your safety and your investment. You need a mechanic with proven skill and client trust.
What to look for:
- Verified badge on the Balozy App
- Ratings and reviews from real clients
- Photos of past repairs or diagnostics
- Clear service descriptions (engine, brakes, suspension, diagnostics)
💡 On Balozy, every mechanic is background-checked and reviewed—so you book with confidence.
🧰 2. Do They Have the Right Tools and Certifications?
Modern cars need more than spanners and guesswork. A good mechanic should have diagnostic tools, safety gear, and brand-specific knowledge.
Ask before booking:
- Are you certified or trained in specific car brands?
- Do you use OBD scanners or computerized diagnostics?
- Can you handle hybrid or electric vehicles?
📍 3. Are They Local to Your Area?
Booking someone from your estate or cluster means faster response, easier coordination, and better follow-up.
Balozy Tip: Use the “Near Me” filter to find auto mechanics in Nairobi, Machakos, Eldoret, Kisumu, or wherever you are.
💬 4. Do They Communicate Clearly and Professionally?
You want someone who confirms your booking, explains the issue, and gives a fair quote—not someone who disappears or says “tutaangalia” forever.
Look for:
- Fast response time on the app
- Transparent pricing and service scope
- Respectful, professional tone
🛠️ 5. Do They Offer Emergency Support or Towing?
Car trouble doesn’t wait for business hours. A verified mechanic should offer roadside assistance or towing options.
Ask:
- Do you offer mobile repairs or emergency callouts?
- Can you arrange towing or recovery?
- Do you provide service warranties or follow-up checks?
