01
Engine diagnostics & repair
Won't start, misfiring, overheating, losing power uphill, blue or white smoke from the exhaust. We read the fault codes, compression-test the cylinders and tell you what's actually wrong before we touch anything.

Shop
Your car breaks down where it breaks down — not at a workshop. We load the tools into the pickup and come to you: Brikama, Busumbala, Yundum, Lamin, Brikama New Town, the Sanyang road. Engine won't turn, brakes grinding, battery flat, tyre gone soft overnight — one call and we're moving.

We come to the car
Most of what goes wrong with a car in Brikama can be sorted where the car is parked. A starter that clicks and won't crank. A clutch pedal that's gone to the floor. A radiator losing water on the Kombo Sillah Drive. We carry the diagnostic kit, the jack, the compressor and the common spares, so the first visit usually finishes the job.
If it's something that genuinely needs a bench — a gearbox strip, a head skim, a full engine rebuild — we recover the vehicle to our bay at 78FX+MVQ and you get a written estimate before a single bolt comes off.

In the bay
Or bring it to us
Plenty of customers would rather drop the car and get on with their day. Our bay sits off the Brikama–Sanyang road, a few minutes from the market. Leave it in the morning, we call you with what we found and what it costs, and you decide. No work starts until you've said yes.
We work on the cars people actually drive here — Toyota Corolla and Hilux, Nissan Sunny and Hardbody, Mercedes 190 and C-class, Peugeot 504 and 505, Hyundai, Kia, and the older VW and Opel that are still going strong. Petrol and diesel, manual and automatic.
- Drop-offFrom 8:00 AM, no booking needed

What we fix
Prices below are typical starting points for a standard saloon or pickup. Every car is different and every job gets quoted before we start — these are here so you know roughly what you're walking into.
02
Brakes & suspension
Grinding when you brake, a pedal that sinks, the car pulling to one side, knocking over the speed bumps on the Sanyang road. Pads, discs, drums, shoes, wheel bearings, shock absorbers and bushes — fitted at your place or ours.
03
Batteries & electrics
Clicking starter, dead dash, lights that dim when you rev, a battery that won't hold charge overnight. We test the alternator and the charging circuit too — a new battery won't fix a bad alternator, and we'll tell you which one you've got.
04
Tyres, wheels & puncture
Puncture repairs, tube and tubeless, wheel swaps, balancing and alignment checks. If you're stuck on the shoulder with a flat and no jack that works, call and we'll come out with the compressor and the proper gear.
05
Servicing & oil change
Engine oil and filter, air filter, fuel filter, plugs, coolant top-up, belt inspection, and a proper look underneath while it's up. We'll tell you what's fine, what's due soon, and what needs doing now — in that order.
06
Breakdown & recovery
Car dead on the road, in a compound, or halfway to the airport. We bring the tow or the flatbed, get you off the road safely, and either fix it on the spot or bring it back to the bay. Call 779 9530 and describe where you are.
How a call goes
-
1
You call 779 9530
Tell us the car — make, model, roughly the year — and what it's doing. A noise, a light, a smell, a puddle. Plain words are fine.
-
2
We tell you where to be
If it's a roadside job we come to you. If it's bench work we give you a time to drop it at 78FX+MVQ. Either way you know the plan before you hang up.
-
3
You get a price first
We look, we diagnose, we quote. Parts and labour separately, so you can see what you're paying for. Nothing starts until you agree.
-
4
We do the work and you drive
Most jobs finish the same day. If a part has to be sourced from Serrekunda or Kanifing, we tell you how long and keep you posted.
Opening hours
Seven days a week. The only break in the week is Friday lunchtime, for prayers. Breakdown calls outside these hours are answered when we can — try the number and see.

Find the shop
The bay is at 78FX+MVQ, Brikama — off the Brikama–Sanyang road, a short drive from Brikama Market and the main garage strip. Coming from Serrekunda or the airport, take the Brikama highway in and turn towards Sanyang; the shop is on your left before you reach the junction. If you're not sure, call and we'll talk you in.
There's space to park a car overnight if a job runs into a second day. Tell us when you drop it so we know whose it is.

A word about the shop
BULLY SHOP started the way most good workshops here start: one mechanic, one set of tools, and a phone that kept ringing. Word got around that if you called, the car got looked at properly and the price you were told was the price you paid. That's still the whole business.
We're a small crew and we like it that way. You'll deal with the same people each time, and they'll remember your car. We'd rather tell you a job isn't worth doing than take your money for it — plenty of cars in Brikama get scrapped for faults that were a two-hour fix.
Most of our work comes from people who were sent by someone else. If we've looked after your car, tell a neighbour. That's how we've grown, and it's how we'd like to keep growing.
