Classic & Vintage Vehicle
Specialists |TPS Auto Electrical
Breathing New Life into Automotive Icons
Classic vehicles require more than routine maintenance; they demand authentic factory knowledge, specialized precision tools, and an uncompromising dedication to perfection. At TPS Auto Electrical, we are proud to be Southern Africa’s premier destination for classic car servicing, repairs, mechanical fuel injection rebuilds, and electrical restorations.
A Direct Legacy of Bosch Factory R&D
Our heritage in classic automotive systems stems directly from the original development of Bosch technology.
Direct Technical Mentorship: Founded in 1998 by Cobus Grobler, TPS Auto Electrical was built on a foundation of ten years of direct mentorship under Rolf Frommjohann Snr of T.W. Diesel.
The K-Jetronic Development Lineage: Rolf Frommjohann served as a key research technician on the original Bosch development and testing team in Stuttgart-Feuerbach during the early 1970s—working directly under lead engineering management on bench testing during the creation and launch of the historic K-Jetronic system.
The Historic Jetronic Cup: In recognition of this unbroken lineage of technical mastery, the historic 1997 Continental Bosch Jetronic Cup—awarded to T.W. Diesel as the top Bosch repair facility on the African continent—symbolizes the deep root of vintage Bosch expertise that TPS Auto Electrical proudly carries forward today.
Unrivaled Capabilities & Legacy Diagnostic Infrastructure
While modern workshops rely strictly on digital OBD-II scanners, classic mechanical and early electronic systems require period-correct diagnostic equipment, specialized test benches, and original factory data.
Our facility maintains fully active, original factory tooling to service your vintage vehicle to true factory standards.
