BUSINESS NEWS - STAR Centre George is a boutique, family-run autobody repair facility proudly serving the Garden Route since 2017.
With over 30 years of experience in our team, we have built a reputation for quality, integrity and exceptional craftsmanship, blending traditional values with cutting-edge technology.
We are the only BMW South Africa and Mercedes-Benz South Africa approved repairer in the greater Garden Route - and one of just a handful nationally to hold both accreditations.
This rare distinction speaks to our consistent commitment to factory-level repair standards, safety and precision. In addition, we hold 23 other OEM approvals, making us a trusted partner for leading automotive brands and major insurers alike.
Our skilled technicians use state-of-the-art equipment and manufacturer-approved methods to restore vehicles to exacting specifications.
From minor cosmetic repairs to full structural restorations, we approach every job with the same level of care and attention to detail - ensuring compliance, safety and long-term value.
While STAR Centre George is our flagship facility, we are proud to operate three other branches - including two in the Eastern Cape - and have recently expanded internationally with the opening of our newest branch in Dubai. This growth reflects not only the strength of our brand, but our ongoing commitment to raising industry standards at every level.
At our core, we are a family business. We believe in building lasting relationships, supporting local employment and delivering honest, transparent service. Our customer-first approach ensures clear communication, fast turnaround times and a smooth, stress-free claims process.
We are actively involved in apprenticeship programmes that empower our youth and employ locally.
Being nominated for the Best of George Readers’ Choice Award is a great honour. It affirms the trust we’ve earned from our customers and the dedication of our team. Every repair we complete is a reflection of our passion, pride and purpose.
What sets us apart is our ability to combine dealer-level expertise with heartfelt, personal service. We’re small enough to care deeply about each customer, yet experienced and accredited enough to take on the most complex, high-tech repairs with confidence.
In a competitive industry, we continue to lead by example - investing in ongoing training, new technology and robust quality control. Our accreditations are not just badges on the wall - they are earned through performance and upheld through consistency.

We believe STAR Centre George deserves this award because we represent the best of both worlds: world-class technical excellence and genuine local values.
Winning would be a celebration of our team, our loyal customers, and the community that continues to support us.
