VW Scrap Yard & Used VW Spares in Grahamstown

Makhanda runs on student cars. Rhodes and the schools put a large number of hand-me-down Polos, Citi Golfs, Mk5 Golfs and first-generation Polo Playas onto a small set of steep streets, and those cars get repaired on a budget or not at all. That is the single most useful thing to know about buying VW parts here: the question is almost never "can it be fixed", it is "can it be fixed for less than the car is worth". A used clutch kit, a second-hand starter, a good door mirror or a replacement headlight unit from a yard usually answers yes where a franchise price answers no. The hills around High Street and Beaufort Street are brutal on clutches and handbrake cables, and the run out to Joza, Fingo Village and Tantyi on rough surfaces shortens the life of front suspension. We ship into Makhanda off the N2, roughly midway between Gqeberha and East London, so the honest figure is a two- to three-day courier window out of Lenasia South. Parents paying from another province are welcome to order in their own name and have it delivered to a local workshop — just give us the workshop address and a contact who will actually be there.
