Honda Spares in East London

East London sits two to three working days out on our Eastern Cape courier leg, and that distance changes the questions people ask. Buffalo City callers rarely start with whether we have the part. They start with how they will know it arrived, and what happens if it does not. Fair enough — sending a headlamp or a bonnet across most of the country is where a parts order goes wrong, if it is going to go wrong at all.

So, plainly: every consignment leaves insured for its declared value. You tell us what the part is worth, we declare it at that, and if the courier loses or breaks it in transit that becomes our problem to sort out rather than yours. Nothing is under-declared to shave down the freight cost, and nothing moves before payment reflects.

The Tracking Number Comes the Moment It Is Collected

Not the next morning, and not when you phone to chase it — the tracking number is emailed as soon as the courier lifts the box off the floor at our Lenasia South yard, so you can follow it yourself the whole way down. If a part does arrive damaged, photograph it in the packaging before you unwrap it any further and send us the pictures. That is the evidence a claim runs on, and with it we either replace the part or refund you. Wrong-fitment returns work the same way inside seven days, provided the part has not been fitted.

What We Send Down to Buffalo City

Civic, Jazz and Ballade carry the East London demand. On engines that is mostly the L13A 1.3 out of the Jazz and the D16A 1.6 out of the older Civic and the locally assembled Ballade. The other steady line is whatever a panel beater needs. Lighting units from the Honda lighting range go out lens-inward in a box cut to fit, and body panels are corner-protected and strapped to board. A bonnet that arrives creased is no use to anybody, so we would rather over-pack it.

Coastal air does not help either. Salt gets into connectors, clips and trim far faster on the Buffalo City coast than it does inland, which is why donor cars stripped in Lenasia South — well away from the sea — tend to come apart with cleaner electrics than a local coastal donor would. Payment is cash, card or EFT. We are an independent yard, not affiliated with Honda Motor Co., Ltd. Ring 078 574 3998 or send your VIN, year and engine code through the contact form and we will confirm fitment first.
