About Smoke Customs
A premium automotive customisation workshop in Waterfall Crossing, Midrand — delivering custom-engineered solutions with craftsmanship, design and technical expertise under one roof since 2018.
Our Story
Smoke Customs opened in 2018 on a simple frustration: too much of what passes for vehicle customisation is parts-fitting. A kit gets bolted on, the panel gaps go where they go, and nobody takes responsibility for how the whole car ends up.
We do the opposite. We are not simply installing aftermarket parts — we deliver custom-engineered automotive solutions, with craftsmanship, design and technical expertise under one roof. Every vehicle is treated as a unique project, designed and built around our client’s vision while holding the standards of quality, safety and craftsmanship that make the result last.
That means we do not believe in one-size-fits-all modifications. A show car, a daily driver, an overland build and a luxury upgrade are four different briefs, and they get four different answers. Our ideal customer is the one who wants a full transformation or a genuine custom build — not a catalogue order.
Because fabrication, bodywork, auto electrical, upholstery, paintwork, lighting and final assembly all happen with our own team, we control the quality at every handover point. There is no supplier to blame and no gap between trades where standards slip. It also means you deal with one workshop from the first conversation to the day you collect the car.
A vehicle is more than transportation. It is an extension of its owner’s personality — which is why the cars that leave Midrand carry the same obsessiveness that goes into them.

Why Smoke Customs
Every vehicle is a unique project — designed and built around your vision, without compromising quality, safety or craftsmanship.
Unlike workshops that outsource specialist work, we complete the majority of our services in-house — fabrication, bodywork, auto electrical, upholstery, paintwork, lighting and final assembly, all managed by our own team.
No two projects are the same. Whether it's a show car, daily driver, overland vehicle or luxury upgrade, every modification is tailored specifically to the customer's requirements.
Technical expertise combined with innovative design. Every modification is planned so it not only looks exceptional but functions reliably and integrates seamlessly with the vehicle.
Precision, fitment and attention to detail. From panel gaps and paint finishes to wiring and interior trimming, every aspect of the build is completed to professional standards.
No need to visit multiple suppliers. A complete range of services under one roof saves time while keeping quality consistent throughout the entire build.
Every project begins with understanding the customer's goals. We guide you through the process with transparency, realistic timelines and regular progress updates.
Premium materials, trusted products and proven installation techniques. Our reputation is built on vehicles that exceed expectations and stand the test of time.
Founded by enthusiasts for enthusiasts. A vehicle is more than transportation — it's an extension of its owner's personality, and that passion shows in every project that leaves the workshop.
