Established 1975
Chequered Flag has been operating in Nairobi since 1975 — supporting private drivers, commercial fleets, and specialist vehicle operators with practical, accountable automotive work.
Our story
Chequered Flag began as a mechanical workshop in Nairobi at a time when vehicles were simpler, repairs were hands-on, and reputation mattered.
Over five decades, the business has evolved — but the fundamentals have not changed. We diagnose methodically, repair properly, and stand behind our work.
Many of our clients return year after year. Some have done so for decades. That continuity is not accidental — it is the result of consistent workmanship and clear accountability.
What defines us
Longevity
Operating in Nairobi since 1975. Our reputation is built over time, not through advertising.
Practical skill
Hands-on mechanical experience, in-house fabrication capability, and real diagnostic discipline.
Accountability
We take responsibility for our work — from inspection to final handover.
Today
Today, Chequered Flag operates a mechanical workshop, a self-drive vehicle fleet, and a fabrication facility — allowing us to repair, maintain, build, and supply vehicles under one roof.
Whether servicing a private vehicle, supporting a commercial fleet, or fabricating specialist components, the approach remains the same: clear diagnosis, careful work, and long-term reliability.
We are not the newest workshop in Nairobi.
We are one of the longest standing.
