Mechanic in Cairo

Does anyone know a good mechanic for a Tenere in Cairo and/or Nairobi? We plan on getting a full service when we get to Cairo and again in Nairobi.

Hi, I'm in Cairo and also have 55W Tenere. Give me a call when you reach us down here and I'll point you in the right direction. If you can do the full service yourself, you can use my garage/workshop. It's a well equiped closed garage where I do all the work on my Tenere and Jeep. Email me for my phone number.

PS: There aren't many Teneres down here so parts may take some time to get and they will be more expensive that what you're used to in Europe. Either bring them with you if you can spare the space or let me know before hand and I'll try to have them ready by the time you arrive.

Take care,

Hey,

I replied to your email, maybe you didn't get it. Anyway, to email me click on the email icon above my post. Or just give me a ring when you arrive inside Egypt. 012-2156446. Also I'll be in and out of Cairo a few times in the next couple of weeks. If I'm unreachable, call my friend Raed 012-2424330. He'll be able to help you till I get back.

A.B.

A few of us out here use Mohamed Road 77 in Maadi. Hes is generally good, bit slow. You might want to be present while he works, as petrol, and other minor parts eg horns have been known to go missing!

Ph 0105383771 (mob)

Cheers James
