All about cars in Malaysia

[Gardener]

I used to frequent the Mechanic Shop near Station one. the yellow signboard Michellin Tyre shop.

My feedback:

Lately the boss has gone cold and indifferent.

Their prices are not as reasonable as before.

I even think they screw up in terms of servicing. Coz after the major servicing I seem to have additional problems with the car.

Need to warn forummers to be careful.

I used to patronize the Yellow signboard Michellin Tyre shop.

For sometime now based on publicity in this forum the boss has gone cold and indifferent.

In addition their prices have climbed upwards.

just a warning to forrumers to consider other quotes / shops before proceeding with this shop.

I did a major servicing here and guess what ended up with additional issues.

Actually I'm on the lookout for an honest n reliable workshop now

Need help urgently!!!!

Yesterday when parking kana the door on pillar. Anyone kind enough to recommend good and affordable repair shop doing dent and alignment repair. Painting also needed. Thks

For best result, you have to go back to car dealer but it is costly. For cheaper solution but not necessary the best, in JB opposite Bestmart in Nusa Bestari behind the row of eateries in front there are a lot of car repair/servicing shop. I haven't tried there but you can check out a few to get best quotes.

I did not realise those shops you mentioned were an option.

I'm sick of the Ah Meng guys shop. The overseas tyre shop.

His prices have only been moving one way....that's northward.

I won't even comment that his service is good.

Coz I have few issues with him.

And I din even bargain.

Paid him what he asked for

The search for a good car mechanic and an honest one never ends

If u r able to get your car to spore then I can recommend a reliable workshop and kranji, Toh Ah Swee. Recommended in many car forums. And I personally feel the price is reasonable. Cheers.

Yup, I also kenna one shop in Bukit Indah who tried to jack up prices of the parts. I din go back after that! Another car servicing shop down the road gave me a better deal so I think I will stick with that shop for my future servicing. Servicing in Singapore with the authorised car dealer will cost me 3 times more, not counting the waiting time.

Good feedback, thanks for sharing this. Its really sad if you are a regular and yet he does this to you.
I will monitor and delete him from the list if i hear one more such complaint.

 

[Gardener]

actually last time this guy was ok.

He only did what was required.

No over charging. No recommendations... nothing.

I liked the shop.

Now I feel too much popularity on this website has made him believe that there is no shortage of money.

Now he over charges for parts n service.

Plus Ah Meng used to be friendly last time.

Now cold.

I think this it's a good thread and we need to keep it and continue our search for that sincere mechanic

i think abit hard to find a gd and reasonable meachnic in BI .
Last week I went to the tyre shop opp S11 to do wheels alignment , the supervisor told me , my tyres are the prob , need to change to michelin tyres so that my wheels wont go to left side so much ....

 

[Gardener]

Couple of months back I had a similar issue at the overseas tyre shop.

That's why I'm so annoyed with them.

A few rounds of bad experience with the Overseas Tyre shop yellow signposts next TO station one.

He said that a connecting nut was bent and he charged me Rm 150 for that nut.

I'm none the wiser if that was required or not.

And a few more experiences after that.

I'm done with them.

No more.

Maybe others have had better experiences and I do not grouch that

You are right. We went to him after recommendation from this website but found him to be cold, arrogant and overpriced!

Both me and my friend used to go to this oversea tyre shop.
And both of us had bad bad experiences with their workmanship and charges, ended up we spent more time and monies to repaired our cars at others workshop.
I would say avoid this Overcharge Tyre workshop at all cost.

 

[crystal_tiong]

i think best not to broadcast gd workshops etc in open forum , the shops owners became proud and service sucks .
Just like Hing Huat Furnitures , i bought 1 chest drawer from them and realised another shop with same design and comes with locks are RM60 cheaper !

 

[xdecepticon]

But this forum is for sharing of good and bad contacts. If everyone keep their contacts by thenselves i think this forum will be very quiet. SHARING is utmost important in this particular thread.

can share good contacts thru pm . share bad contacts in forum.

i shared some gd contacts before and ppl used my name and smelly pattern come out and dun pay contractors on time .....

I believe you are absolutely right.

It's plain greed and avarice.

And I must add that some Singaporeans have spoiled market.

Last time he used to do a trade off between charging higher for parts and labour.

Now this OVerSeas guy talk s about extra labour cost in addition to the even higher price.

Previously he never mentioned the phrase labour cost at all

Recommending things that you do not need.

overcharging.
