Our story

Registered in 2018, based in Somerset West

DTL Mechanical Repairs was registered in 2018 and operates from Somerset West in Cape Town.

The business was founded to provide dependable, value-driven mechanical repairs to private customers and businesses operating vehicles, trucks, construction machinery and industrial equipment.

Under the leadership of director and owner Deon Lotz, DTL has developed relationships across the transport, construction, equipment and public sectors.

The company’s approach is centred on quality workmanship, transparent communication and long-term client relationships. Each repair is treated according to its specific requirements, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
