Who we are
Honest workmanship, real expertise
LA Auto exists to give Cape Town drivers specialist BMW and Mini knowledge without the dealership runaround.
Our story
Built by a mechanic,
run for drivers
LA Auto was founded in 2024 by Leslie Africa, who brings over two decades of hands-on experience working on BMW and Mini Cooper vehicles. What started as a passion for getting these cars exactly right grew into a full independent workshop in Brackenfell Industrial.
Today we serve drivers right across the Northern Suburbs — from routine servicing to complex diagnostics and engine rebuilds. Every car gets the same thing: a proper diagnosis, a clear quote, and work done to manufacturer spec.
In God We Trust
“We don't cut corners and we don't sell you what you don't need. Bring your car in, and we'll treat it like it's our own.”
