FAQ
- Which industry registrations should I verify?Check whether the workshop is correctly registered with MIBCO and MIOSA where applicable. Review business classification, employee records, levies, complaints and compliance with the South African Automotive Industry Code before relying on the seller's standing.
- How should repair authorisations and customer records be reviewed?Sample jobs for written estimates, customer approval, diagnostics, parts fitted, technician notes, invoices and vehicle collection. Investigate unauthorised work, recurring comebacks, disputed charges, abandoned vehicles and warranty obligations continuing after completion.
- What environmental and workshop risks should I inspect?Review lifts, pits, compressed air, electrical tools, fire controls, oils, batteries, tyres and hazardous waste. Check inspections, spill records, waste contractors, injuries, insurance requirements and municipal complaints relating to noise or drainage.
- Will diagnostic tools and software remain usable?Inventory scanners, subscriptions, technical databases, calibration equipment, special tools and manufacturer portals. Confirm ownership, licence transfer, renewal costs, user credentials and whether current vehicle coverage depends on the seller or another business.
- How should open jobs, warranties and parts be valued?List every vehicle onsite, work authorised, parts ordered, deposits received and completion cost. Separate customer-owned parts, warranty jobs and abandoned vehicles, then quantify returns, disputed repairs, unpaid invoices and parts that cannot be reused.
- How can I verify workshop profitability?Reconcile job cards, labour hours, parts issues, invoices and bank receipts. Calculate effective labour recovery and parts margin after discounts, comebacks, warranty time, technician productivity and work performed but not billed.
