Big Five Accident Repair Centre: From Passion for Cars to a Durban Landmark

--:--
Big Five Accident Repair Centre, a proudly family-run business in Durban, has built a solid reputation in the automotive repair sector — not through gimmicks or grand claims, but through consistent workmanship and a genuine passion for vehicles.

Founded by Mano Nayager, a seasoned professional with over 36 years of experience, the company has grown into one of the city’s most respected panel shops.

Mano’s interest in the motor industry began with a fascination for how damaged vehicles could be restored. That curiosity, combined with years of practical experience, led him to establish Big Five Accident Repair Centre — a workshop that today is trusted by drivers across Durban and further afield.
