Repair, Service and Maintenance of vehicles and trucks up to 10 tons – built on honesty, transparency, and an unwavering commitment to customer care.
Our story
RSM Motor Centre has been proudly serving motorists in Cape Town, since 1999. Originally established as Mike’s Motor Shop by founders Tony Struwig and Mike Lotter, the business has grown from strength to strength, built on honesty, transparency, and an unwavering commitment to customer care.
In 2006, following Tony’s sole ownership, the workshop was renamed RSM Motor Centre to reflect our core focus – Repair, Service and Maintenance of vehicles and trucks up to 10 tons. We continue to uphold our “open door” policy, keeping clients fully informed of all work and costs every step of the way.
Under the ownership of Marius Janse van Rensburg since 2011, our dedicated team remains driven by the same values that built our reputation: exceptional workmanship, affordable service, and complete peace of mind knowing your vehicle is in expert hands.
At RSM Motor Centre, customer service isn’t just about fixing vehicles—it’s about building trust, offering honest advice, and treating every client like part of the family.
