| ABOUT US |
| The SAC Evolution | | Does your vehicle deliver optimum performance from the moment it leaves the factory floor? | | The answer is easy - it doesn't. | | No mass-produced vehicle ever does. | | This special feature focuses exclusively on the Steve's Auto Clinic group, leaders in the field of automotive power enhancement services. | | A journey through these pages will be one of fascinating discovery to anyone who has ever wondered: | | How can I unleash more power from my vehicle, yet do so safely and reliably? | |  | |
| Manufacturers design and build vehicles along mass-manufacturing principles, with products aimed at the public at large, and not at the individual. | | But the fact is, just about every production vehicle has the potential to become far more powerful and fuel-efficient when individualised in the hands of a true expert - without compromising quality or durability. | | "In fact, a carefully researched and developed power enhancement package may sometimes even render a vehicle more reliable than the mass-produced version, especially in cases where the non-optimum design of a part has been carefully identified and subsequently upgraded or replaced during the enhancement process. | | | |
| But thanks to our well-established network of interwoven facilities, such as workshops countrywide and divisions for development, engineering and manufacturing, vehicle owners are increasingly realizing the almost endless possibilities of individually-tailored power enhancement." |
| Steve Fischer - founder and director of the group's parent company, SAC Holdings. |
| Firm Principles |
| In the hands of SAC, the power enhancement industry has reached an unparalleled level of maturity - a remarkable story, given that Steve's Auto Clinic was originally launched as a small tuning shop in Vanderbijlpark in 1983. |
| Right from the outset, Fischer was firmly committed to a strict set of principles - principles that, 20 years later and with the benefit of hindsight, have been proven correct. |
| Nine branches have been established countrywide - more are on the way - with specialised divisions that focus on product development, engineering, manufacturing, trucks and electronic enhancement. |
| Among the founding principles, for instance, is the fact that not every car is a race car. |
| In an after-market "conversion" industry that so often gives little consideration to reliability issues of power-enhanced vehicles, SAC took the opposite stance. |
| The company realised from day one that reliability, as a concept was synonymous with road-going vehicles - be they petrol or diesel driven, passenger cars, light commercial vehicles or heavy trucks. |
| It is all too easy for the layman to push the limits of an engine conversion beyond the reliability threshold - a pitfall that the enhancement experts at SAC avoided throughout the company's 20-year success story. |
| Furthermore, unlike most players in this industry, SAC steered away from experimentation with customers' vehicles. |
| "We pride ourselves that SAC's technical staff are truly experts in their respective fields, a fact which has contributed significantly to the company's credible stance in the marketplace today." Fischer says. |
| Another firm SAC principle is simply to employ the very best people available, be it personnel found in the workshops, in the development arena or the engineering and manufacturing divisions. |
"We physically buy our own new vehicles with which to develop product-specific power-enhancement packages.
The end result is thoroughly tested, evaluated and re-developed if necessary, before such a package is offered to the owners of similar vehicles," Fischer explains. |
