Yes, we repair generators in Helderkruin, especially the long-serving home diesels that have carried family homes through years of outages, at the property. We are open 24/7 and arrive within 1 hour for breakdowns; the worn part is found first and quoted in writing before any work.
Helderkruin is an established Roodepoort suburb of freestanding family homes, with Roodekrans, Wilro Park and Kloofendal as neighbours. Many households here bought a diesel set years ago and have relied on it through every round of load shedding since.
A set with that many hours wears in predictable places. The starter motor and its solenoid tire, the charging alternator on the engine stops keeping the battery up, injectors lose their spray pattern, and the engine may start to smoke or use oil. We check those wear points on every Helderkruin service and test the battery charging system properly, so a long-serving set keeps starting first time.
Breakdowns attended 24/7. We diagnose first, then quote the repair in writing.

What happens next

If the battery keeps going flat, we test the engine’s charging alternator, the regulator and the trickle charger.
We test the battery under load, then the starter motor and solenoid.
