What we do
Everything short of a full engine rebuild — and most of that too.
Prices below are starting points for a standard job on a saloon or small SUV. You get a firm figure on the phone once we know the make, the model and the symptom. Nothing gets opened up before you've agreed to it.
-
01
Diagnostics & fault finding
OBD scan plus a proper look under the bonnet. Warning lights, rough idle, misfires, overheating, electrical gremlins, cars that crank but won't start. You get the fault code in plain language and what it will take to fix it.
from D350 -
02
Brakes & suspension
Pads, discs, drums, brake fluid, handbrake adjustment. Shock absorbers, bushings, ball joints and the knocking noise over Serekunda's potholes that you've been ignoring for three months.
from D900 per axle -
03
Batteries & charging
Testing, jump starts, terminal cleaning, alternator and starter motor checks. We carry common battery sizes for Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai and Kia, so most replacements are done on the spot.
from D250 + battery -
04
Full & interim servicing
Engine oil and filter, air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, coolant flush, belts. We log the mileage and the date on a sticker under the bonnet so the next service isn't a guess.
from D1,200 -
05
Roadside & breakdown call-out
Flat tyres, dead batteries, overheating, snapped belts, keys locked in. If it can be made to run where it stands, we'll do it there. If it genuinely can't, we'll tell you straight and help you arrange recovery.
from D500 call-out -
06
Pre-purchase inspection
Buying a second-hand car in Kanifing or Serrekunda Motors? We'll meet you at the seller, go over the body, chassis, engine, gearbox and paperwork, and give you an honest verdict before your money moves.
D750 flat -
07
Air conditioning & electrics
Regas, leak testing, compressor and blower faults, window motors, central locking, wiring repairs, headlight and indicator work. Gambia heat is not a joke — a working AC is a safety feature.
from D800 -
08
Fleet & regular contracts
Monthly servicing for taxi operators, tour operators, NGO vehicles and small delivery fleets. Fixed rate per vehicle, scheduled visits, one invoice at the end of the month.
quoted per fleet
How a call-out works
Four steps, no surprises.
-
You call
Tell us the car — make, model, year — and what it's doing. A noise, a light, a smell, a puddle, a refusal to start. A photo or voice note on WhatsApp helps more than you'd think.
-
We quote
You get a call-out fee and an estimate for the likely repair before anyone leaves the yard. If the job turns out to be something else once we're there, we stop and re-quote. You decide.
-
We come to you
Inside Serekunda we're usually with you within 60 to 90 minutes. Further out — Bijilo, Brikama, the coastal strip — we'll give you a realistic window rather than a hopeful one.
-
Fixed, explained, logged
We show you the old part, explain what failed and why, and note the mileage and date for the next service. If a part needs ordering, we tell you the price and the wait before you commit.
About the workshop
Nine years of Gambian roads, one van at a time.
Amour's Corner started in 2016 with a single toolbox, a borrowed motorbike and a habit of answering the phone at hours he probably shouldn't have. The idea was simple and slightly stubborn: most breakdowns in Serekunda don't need a garage — they need someone competent to turn up with the right tools and a straight answer.
Nine years later the motorbike is a van, the toolbox is four cases, and the phone still gets answered at odd hours. We work on the cars people actually drive here — Corollas, Sunnys, Picantos, Hiluxes, ageing Mercedes taxis, the occasional Land Cruiser that's been in the family since the nineties. We know which parts are worth buying genuine and which aftermarket equivalents hold up fine, and we'll tell you which is which rather than upselling you.
What we don't do is invent work. If your brakes have another six months in them, you'll hear that. If the fault is something a dealer needs to plug into, we'll say so and save you the call-out fee. Most of our work comes from people who were told about us by someone else we'd already helped — that's the only advertising we've ever needed.
- Fully equipped van — OBD scanner, compressor, jack and stands, torque wrench, jump pack, common spares.
- Parts sourcing — same-day from Serrekunda and Kanifing suppliers, or ordered in for less common models.
- Straight quoting — call-out fee and estimate agreed before we set off. No charge for a job we can't do.
“Called them at half seven in the morning with a car that wouldn't start outside my gate in Kanifing. They were here before nine, found a dead battery and a loose earth strap, and I was at work by ten. Fair price, no drama.”
