My car clutch need to be replaced. Riaan and his team worked against time to fix my car. Riaan gives excellent feedback and keep you updated the whole time. They really go beyond to give good service. Thank you guys.

The guys, especially Riaan, went over and above to help try solve the issues of my car from hell, a 2012 Volvo V60 T6 AWD R-Design.It went in for really REALLY expensive transmission issues that were done but other things kept popping up. Riaan was THE ONLY PERSON to see that my car needed new engine mountings. I spoke to many companies and they didn't pick that up.He also found that my CV joint was also needing replacement after some issues remained after the gearbox was worked on.The car is running well now but there are still more issues that have popped up and they agreed to have it brought in and relooked at.It has, up to this point, been an absolute nightmare for them and me to deal with this demon possessed pile of Swedish hellishness and hopefully these last few things can be resolved but to be honest, I am so gatvol of this car that I want it gone.Riaan has been nothing but amazing to me in trying his absolute best to get this car back to normal. I fear it is a lost cause.I would definitely use them again or recommend them as they spotted things even Volvo couldn't. He is transparent and passionate about having your car working 100% and is accountable with that.Great service. Terrible car.PS: DO NOT BUY A VOLVO!!! EVER!!!! It will RUIN you as it ruined me financially. Just don't do it.

Springfield Gearbox was recommended by Maestry Motors. Riaan took the car for a test drive and identified the bearings in the gearbox needed replacing. An appointment was made for two days. The work was completed within the specified times. I was impressed by the friendliness knowledge of the staff, also they listened to my questions, gave relevant advice. I always felt they had my concerns at heart. I whole heartily recommend them to anyone in need. Best, Werner Rix

My gearbox gave me some trouble until I couldn't even shift down into 2nd anymore so it needed to be replaced. Not only did they give me the best price but their service is outstanding. They went above and beyond and their work is fantastic. Changing gears has never been this smooth. My car drives so beautifully now. I am so impressed. Highly recommend.

Replaced my clutch a few months back. These guys are serious about their service because they get a ton of business from their google reviews. I had an issue after the job and they never complained just got the bakkie in straight away and got it sorted. Not expensive but also not too cheap. The right price for a proper job. Any cheaper and you're dealing with crooks as far as I'm concerned. Months later everything is good, I'm very happy.

I actually had no work done with them but that's exactly the point.I took my Hilux in after it was at Toyota Tokai. The dealers told me I had to replace my diff after they had the car for 2 days (I asked them to look into a faint knocking sound)So Riaan took the car for a drive and couldn't hear anything. He told me he will keep it so he can drive it first thing in the morning and check if it comes back when it's cold.Anyways, after a trying to replicate the problem, 4 of the guys drove with it, they couldn't find anything wrong. They checked the diff and said it was perfect and doesn't need to be replaced at all.They could easily have swopped out a number of things and charged me but they didn't. Didn't charge me a cent.(They also spotted a loose wheel nut that Toyota didn't fasten on my rear wheel!)

In February 2023 I had the front seal of my transmission spring a serious leak. Luckily I picked up on the leak before anything serious happened. After friends had diagnosed the leak as a front seal leak on the transmission, I contacted the dealership to find out whether they repaired automatic transmissions, or outsourced these repairs, and was informed that the dealership used two specialists, one of which was Springfield. I contacted both specialists, and received a response from Springfield (from Riaan) within a few hours (the other specialist is yet to contact me). Riaan was happy to take a look at a video I had taken of the leak, and advised on the best way of getting my car to their workshop. Riaan did warn me that they were very busy, and that it would take some time for them to get to my car, and after about a week or two, my car was back with me and no longer leaking. I was provided with my invoice, including the warranty that comes with their work. Fast forward two months to the next family holiday, I towed our caravan all the way from Cape Town to Hartenbos – checking the transmission periodically. All seemed to be going well until I arrived at my destination, where I smelled a strong oil smell, and jumped out of my car to see that my transmission has sprung a leak again. I called Riaan to ask him whether they had any way of getting my car back to Cape Town (and whether it was safe to attempt the journey home with the leak), and while they didn’t, Riaan explored a number of options for helping us out (including diagnosing that the leak was too serious to attempt driving the car). Ultimately, we had to have the car towed back to Springfield. Springfield 100% honoured their warranty, and undertook a thorough job of repairing the transmission again, and even gave me a discount on additional work to the differential cup at the same time.While it hasn’t been a smooth road (which I don’t think is the fault of Springfield, but rather the nature of dealing with automatic transmissions), the service I received from Springfield has been top notch. They have been courteous, understanding, and very accessible (Riaan was great at returning calls and answering questions when he got the chance). I have also come to know many of the staff at Springfield, and felt at all times that they had my, and my family’s best interests at heart. In short, I have learnt how important transmission maintenance is, and how I wouldn’t wish transmission issues on my worst enemy, but that I know where to go if I ever encounter issues again. A massive thank you to the Springfield team, you are all amazing! I highly recommend Springfield to anyone who might also be suffering with Hyundai/Kia automatic transmission issues, or transfer case issues. But most of all, I would recommend you get in touch with Springfield for proactive maintenance of your automatic transmission, so that you don't have the same misfortune I did. 10/10!

My 23 year Isuzu KB280TD 4x4 suddenly started making a terrible whining noise. I thought it was the turbo and took it for a service (not at Springfield). They advised me it was the gearbox and transfer box and that all the oil had leaked out and it was most likely both were damaged and needed overhaul. I took it Springfield, without checking any reviews, simply because they were closest and I was reluctant to drive the car far. They did a quick but through assessment while i waited and reported that the diff is fine, and that it could be that the gearbox and TX box just needed the seals and oil replaced. I booked it in and they kindly gave me a lift home. They kept in touch the whole time, and confirmed the gearbox and TX box were fine, it was just the oil seals along with the main engine seal. They could very easily have told me the gearbox needs replacing, but they did not - these are rare honest people. They also did an excellent job at repairing / replacing suspension components as recommended by the previous service company. i am very impresses with the service and reasonable cost.

I took my car to Springfield Gear & Diff for a noisy transmission assessment. The assessment was done as soon as I arrived and I was told it wasn't the transmission, but a failing, noisy water pump unit. The guys there offered to work on my car and replace the part while I waited which took a couple of hours, but a small price to pay for such excellent, friendly and accommodating service.Carol and the mechanic I dealt with, Riaan, are a real credit to the business, friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The mechanic went above and beyond by identifying other noises on the car that needed attention. Highly recommended family business!
