About & The Award
The Audi & VW specialist workshop in Tongaat
An independent, owner-run workshop at 7 Roger Street — the place people who know their Audi or VW send them, and the winner of Best Car Service Centre.
Powering Performance. Driving Precision.
The workshop
Owner-run, Audi & VW through and through
High Boost Automotive is an independent Audi and Volkswagen specialist workshop in Tongaat, run by owner-technician Vibhash Ramkaran. It's the kind of place where the person who diagnoses your car is the person who owns the workshop — so the advice you get is straight, and the reputation is personal.
The focus is mechanical: servicing and maintenance, engine diagnostics, DSG / mechatronic transmission work, brakes and general repairs on Audi and VW. It's not a panel shop — no accident repair or spray-painting.
Vibhash has years of Audi & VW experience behind the workshop. "Audi Master Technician" / "23 years" wording TO CONFIRM — this phrasing is the business's own from an earlier version of its site, so we're not stating a specific figure or title until it's confirmed.
The Award
Best Car Service Centre — Winner 2026
High Boost Automotive was named Best Car Service Centre — Winner 2026 (Best of Ballito / Best of South Africa). For an independent workshop up against dealerships, that's a real signal of the reputation reviewers describe.
The owner says the workshop won two years running — that is, in 2025 as well. We're attributing that to the owner rather than stating it flat until it's confirmed. Exact award name, category & the 2025 win TO CONFIRM
Before go-live: confirm the exact award name/category and years, and add a photo of the trophy / certificate.
