Car auctions in South Africa offer some great deals — whether it's a bank repossession, insurance write-off, or fleet vehicle. But auction vehicles often come with hidden damage, incomplete documentation, or repairs that weren’t done properly.


That’s where HJ Bosch & Sons steps in. We specialise in rebuilding auction vehicles to roadworthy, reliable, and warranty-compliant standards — whether you’re fixing it for personal use, resale, or roadworthy certification.


With branches in Pretoria, Centurion, and East London, we’re your trusted partner from inspection to completion.

From auction bargain to roadworthy – we rebuild it right.

✅ Why Rebuild an Auction Vehicle with Us?


1. SAMBRA-Approved Repairs

We follow strict guidelines to ensure your vehicle is repaired safely and legally. From structural repairs to cosmetic finishing, our SAMBRA accreditation means your rebuilt vehicle meets national standards.


2. Thorough Assessment & Transparent Quoting

We start with a complete inspection to identify visible and hidden damage. You’ll get a detailed, itemised quote for parts, labour, paint, and VAT — no surprises later.


3. Options for OEM, Used, or High-Quality Aftermarket Parts

Depending on your budget and whether you plan to keep or sell the car, we’ll recommend the best part options — all explained clearly so you stay in control.


4. Warranty & Roadworthy Compliance

We ensure the rebuild won’t void your manufacturer warranty (where applicable), and we’ll prepare the vehicle for roadworthy testing if needed.

  • Bank repossessions

  • Insurance write-offs

  • Fleet sales or government auctions
