The backbone of Parry Motors
When a young mechanic named Ernest Parry opened a single-bay workshop in Port Elizabeth in 1978, he promised honest work and a handshake warranty. Over five decades that promise became the garage’s backbone: generations of drivers brought in battered bakkies and family sedans, and left with engines that ran smoother and worries that felt lighter.
The workshop
Today the same workshop still fixes cars with the same care, its walls lined with faded photos and service books that map half a century of the city’s roads. Locals know that when the sign says trusted, it means decades of earned trust.
