Licence Disc Renewal Made Easy with Supa Quick and Disky
Due to the massive demand for licence renewal services in South Africa, fitment centre group, Supa Quick, has partnered with online platform, Disky, to offer a convenient way for motorists to renew their licences. Instead of taking time away from work to stand in a queue, vehicle owners are now able to renew their vehicle licences using WhatsApp at any of the 190 Supa Quick stores across the country.

Why Disky?
Supa Quick is a provider of vehicle services and products. While work on their vehicle is being made, Supa Quick customers have the option to renew their vehicle licences while waiting for their vehicle at the same time.
“We are all pressed for time, and no one likes to stand in notoriously long, slow-moving queues in crowded venues at the licensing department or post office,” says Adeshni Sewbaran, franchise director at Supa Quick. “We wanted to find a way to make this process easier for our customers and Disky was the obvious choice.” Both Disky and Supa Quick are nationwide service providers, making them a good match.
Sewbaran adds that the service is another way for Supa Quick to differentiate itself in the fitment sector. “Our franchisees are incredibly supportive of the partnership as it offers benefits for them too. The pandemic has taught us all about the importance of partnerships for growth. In this instance, two different forces have joined together to offer a great service to customers, while giving our store owners the opportunity to boost customer loyalty, benefit from referrals, build their customer base and upsell to customers who visit our stores.”
Several more reasons Supa Quick made the decision to partner with Disky:
- Disky is a product of ChatCentric, which complies with all the POPIA regulatory regulations.
- ChatCentric specialise in the Chat Commerce space and do reputable work for a wide range of companies. Their local clients include the likes of Glassfit, HelloPeter, Zapper, and Capfin, while international clients include Old Mutual Ghana, Stampwallet, and Savona.
- Disky is an automated WhatsApp channel where all the required information is collected to enable Disky to renew a licence disc on behalf of the customer. Only relevant information regarding the registered owner and the vehicle is requested.
- To avoid the need for customers to download yet another app on their device, Disky uses WhatsApp because of its wide adoption and popularity in South Africa.
What are the steps to renew vehicle licenses with Supa Quick?
All types of vehicle licences can be renewed, including those for motorcycles, cars, trailers and caravans. The platform also provides the means to do multiple license disc renewals per customer.

What are the fees and payment methods?
The service fee that is paid by all customers is R169 per licence disc and all payments can be made on WhatsApp.
For licence fees, once a customer has supplied all the relevant information requested by the automated WhatsApp channel (name, surname, ID number, email address, and an image of the licence disc), a quote is generated according to the government gazetted licence fees and based on the vehicle information that the customer has provided.
