Being a mechanic means giving more than you get most days. Your hands hurt, your back aches, and the clock doesn’t care how tired you are. People only see the finished job, never the hours of doubt, frustration, and patience it took to get there.

There are nights you go home exhausted, carrying the weight of mistakes you never want to repeat and problems that kept you awake. You replay every decision in your head because you know someone’s safety rides on the work you did.

And still, you show up the next morning. Not because it’s easy, but because quitting was never part of who you are.

It’s a very sad time for AQ Auto Repairs. Some of you may have had the pleasure of meeting the chief mechanic, unfortunately he has passed away and left me absolutely devastated he wasn’t only a father to me but a constant strength and support in all I have done, he always believed in me and for that I will be forever grateful. My life will never be the same again. 💔

October is Tyre Safe Month
Your tyres are the only part of the vehicle that are in constant contact with the road; they suffer a lot of wear and tear, even if you drive carefully.
Therefore, it’s vital that you keep an eye on the condition of your tyres.
Check tread depth, air pressure & condition.
