What We Do
Comprehensive Vehicle Services in Nairobi & Beyond
From routine maintenance to complex engine rebuilds — Wybia Auto Garage handles every aspect of your vehicle's health. All repairs use genuine parts and carry a service warranty.
Engine Diagnostics & Repair
Our OBD-II scan tools read fault codes from your vehicle's ECU in minutes, eliminating guesswork. We diagnose engine misfires, warning lights, overheating, and power loss. Services include full rebuilds, timing belt/chain replacement, turbocharger repair, and head gasket repairs. All diagnostics come with a written report — no hidden surprises.
Nairobi's potholed roads place extreme stress on braking and suspension. We replace brake pads, rotors, and calipers, service ABS systems, replace shock absorbers and struts, and perform computerised wheel alignments. For 4×4 enthusiasts, we also offer heavy-duty suspension upgrades and lift kits.
Ignoring slipping gears or delayed engagement leads to costly gearbox failure. Wybia flushes automatic, manual, and CVT transmission fluids. Clutch replacement is popular for Probox and Hiace vans. For serious damage, we perform full gearbox overhauls — disassembly, bearing and synchromesh replacement, and precision reassembly.
Wybia diagnoses batteries, alternators, starter motors, and ECU faults using dedicated scan tools. AC services include refrigerant recharge (R134a), compressor replacement, condenser leak repairs, and full system overhauls. We also carry out LED lighting upgrades, central locking repairs, and immobiliser programming.
Wybia uses computerised 4-wheel alignment equipment to correct camber, caster, toe, and thrust angles to factory specifications. Dynamic wheel balancing eliminates vibrations at speed. Tyre rotations every 10,000–15,000 km equalise wear across all four tyres. A full wheel service takes under an hour.
Wybia restores accident-damaged vehicles using skilled panel beating that reshapes metal without unnecessary replacement. For minor dents without paint damage, paintless dent repair (PDR) offers a quick alternative. Our PPG-brand respray service delivers factory-quality colour matching and durable clear-coat finishes.
Nairobi's dusty, stop-and-go conditions accelerate oil degradation — we recommend a 5,000 km interval for most vehicles. We stock mineral, semi-synthetic, and fully synthetic engine oils matched to your manufacturer's specification. Every service includes a new filter and a complimentary check of coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and battery health.
Whether buying a second-hand vehicle or preparing for a long journey, our comprehensive inspection covers braking, steering, suspension, tyre tread, all lighting, engine fluid leaks, battery health, and a full underbody inspection. You receive a written report with findings — no pressure to book any repair. The most valuable KES 5,000 before buying a used car in Kenya.
When your vehicle fails anywhere in Nairobi County, Kiambu, or Machakos, our mobile mechanics arrive at your location — no tow truck required. Our roadside team handles jump starts, emergency battery replacements, tyre changes, minor electrical faults, fuel delivery, and on-site diagnostics. Response times average 30 minutes within Nairobi. Available 24/7 — call 0742515161.
Our certified mechanics are trained across all major Japanese, European, and American makes. Whether you drive a Probox or a Land Cruiser, we have the right diagnostic tools and parts.
