The GES premises in Troyeville, Johannesburg, with branded service vehicles

Having been in business for 88+ years, Garage Equipment Service is uniquely qualified to help customers solve their problems and keep them current with both industry and technology changes. We partner with trusted brands to create solutions that deliver results and help customers achieve their goals.

We are the market leaders in providing innovative solutions for the effective cleaning, service, and repair of any type of vehicle!

Over the years we have evolved from being just an equipment supplier to being a trusted innovation solutions partner. Our strength comes from our ability to leverage our experience and partnerships, providing solutions for our customers that are both effective and sustainable in the fast-changing industries in which we operate.

Our vision

To provide customers with solutions that:

Protect our planet

Reduce our impact on the planet.

We specify and install equipment that uses water, power and chemicals more carefully — water recovery on wash installations, low-energy drives and dosing systems that waste nothing — and we measure every recommendation against the resources it consumes across its full working life.

Prioritise safety

Prioritise safety.

Machines, chemicals and moving vehicles share the same space, so protection is designed into what we supply rather than added afterwards: guards, interlocks, emergency stops, clear signage and trained handover on every installation, with servicing that keeps those protections working as they did on day one.

Support sustainable businesses

Enable customers to optimise efficiency and profitability through our products and services, ensuring the sustainability of their businesses.

Uptime keeps a site profitable, so we plan around it — equipment matched to real throughput, running costs held down, and maintenance scheduled before a fault costs a day.

Our history · 1938–2026

Built on experience. Driven by progress.
