Eliman's Automotive Workshop 750 7189

Mobile mechanic · Sukuta, Lambai junction

We come to the car that won't start.

Eliman's is a working garage at Lambai junction with a van that leaves it. If your car is stuck at home, at the office, or on the side of the Kombo Coastal Road, we load the tools and come to you — Serekunda, Sukuta, Bijilo, Kololi, Fajara and out as far as Brikama when the job is worth the drive.

Open seven days a week from 7:00 AM. Sunday closed.

Most call-outs are diagnosed and finished the same day.

01 — Services

The jobs we do most weeks.

Engine & no-start faults

Cranking but not catching, cutting out in traffic, overheating on the way to Westfield. We trace fuel, spark and compression in that order, because that's the order that finds the fault fastest.

Timing belts · head gaskets · fuel pumps · coil packs

Brakes & suspension

Pads, discs, drums, brake fluid, wheel bearings, shock absorbers and bushings. We'll show you the worn part before we replace it — no surprises on the bill.

Pads & discs · bearings · shocks · steering play

Batteries & electrics

Flat battery at 6 AM before school run, alternator not charging, starter clicking, lights dimming at idle. We test the charging system properly rather than selling you a battery you don't need.

Battery test · alternators · starters · wiring faults

Diagnostics & warning lights

Engine light on, ABS light on, airbag light on. We read the fault codes, clear what's cleared, and tell you plainly which ones matter and which ones can wait until next service.

OBD scan · sensor faults · emissions · intermittent faults

Servicing & oil changes

Full service at your gate: engine oil and filter, air filter, plugs, coolant, belts checked, fluids topped, tyres rotated. Bring your own parts if you prefer — we'll fit them.

Oil & filters · plugs · coolant · pre-trip checks

Roadside & call-out

Flat tyre on the Coastal Road, car that won't turn over outside your compound, overheating on the Serekunda highway. Call, tell us where you are, and we'll tell you honestly how long we'll be.

Tyre changes · jump starts · breakdown recovery · towing

Sunday is closed. If your car is stranded on a Sunday, leave a message and we'll call you back first thing Monday.

04 — Find us

Lambai junction, Sukuta.

The workshop sits just off the Sukuta junction at Lambai — the same junction you pass heading between Serekunda and the coastal strip. Coming from Serekunda, take the Sukuta road and look for the turning at the junction; the workshop is set back on the left with the van parked outside during working hours.

If you're not sure you've found it, call and we'll talk you in — that's faster than driving past twice.
