Welcome to MKR Auto Sales, an absolute automotive powerhouse in Gqeberha and a premier destination for high-quality pre-owned, premium, and performance vehicles in South Africa. Built on a foundation of absolute transparency, trust, and a people-first philosophy, we don't just sell cars—we deliver peace of mind and turn automotive aspirations into reality.
The initials M, K, and R represent the three foundational figures who define our brand’s past, present, and future: Mohamed Desai and Raynard Brass.
MKR Auto Sales was originally founded in 2018 by Raynard Brass, laying the groundwork for a reliable local dealership. Every great business story has its ultimate turning point, and for MKR, that moment arrived in June 2025, when automotive entrepreneur Mohamed Desai was handed full control of the business.
Known in the industry-widely as “The Deal Architect,” Desai injected a relentless expansion plan into the company. Stepping into the driver’s seat as Dealer Principal, backed by Desai’s guiding ethos: “Success is never given, success is forged by your own hand.” Together, they transformed the business from a surviving local branch into a disruptive, nationwide force.
Under Desai’s visionary leadership, the brand diversified to capture every corner of the regional and national market, establishing key specialized divisions:
• MKR Premium Select: An elite division focused entirely on curated, top-tier premium pre-owned vehicles.
• MKR Performance: A high-octane branch targeted heavily toward specialized high-performance models and automotive enthusiasts.
• Rays Cars Sales (Algoa Park): Expanding our regional footprint, Desai serves as Director of Rays Cars Sales, maximizing market accessibility across the Eastern Cape.
Before 2025, the dealership relied on quiet, traditional local trade.
Mohamed Desai changed the rules of engagement by masterminding a digital-first strategy that created the “MKR Cinematic Universe.”
By publishing high-energy, authentic customer handover videos and sharing real-life success stories across social media, the brand went aggressively viral. We turned car buying into an interactive entertainment ecosystem, making MKR Auto Sales a household name across South Africa.
Today, MKR Auto Sales is recognized as an AA Authorized Dealer with direct partnerships with major South African banking institutions. We have achieved this powerhouse status by introducing customer-centric innovations designed to disrupt the industry:
• The VAF Bridge: We have turned Vehicle Asset Finance (VAF) into a specialized craft. By structuring custom funding solutions, we actively help clients who may not qualify through traditional channels, serving as a vital bridge to vehicle ownership.
• Zero-Cost Nationwide Delivery: No matter where you are in South Africa, you can buy from MKR and have your vehicle delivered directly to your door at no extra charge.
• Referral Commission Program: An ingenious community growth initiative that financially rewards individuals for bringing buyers or sellers into the growing MKR family.
