At hawk tayar now. Quoted brake pads for a pair for $160rm, made in Malaysia.

Asked to clean throttle body and he ask if there was anything wrong with my engine? Else no point cleaning.


In my opinion, can only find them for tyres..

I asked for brake pad and they only have this brand susuka which I am not comfortable to change to. Anyone can intro where to change for a reliable brand?

Good price for the pads. Else you may want to go buy pads at local parts shops.

Throttle body cleaning has yet to picked up in JB. Need some time for those workshop to equipped with it as most request comes from sg owners.
Similar to back then EO additives.

Probably because cars in sg are the most expensive thus all these extra stuffs can be accepted by sg car owners.
"Expensive cars must have extra protection" mindset....:s13:

Huh? Bring own coolant and pay RM20 to have someone to pour it in for you???

If the reservoir keeps drying up better do a pressure test - somewhere could be leaking

Look for the boss- Ah Chen. +60127942588
(Speak mainly Mandarin and local language,voice whatsapp him before go down.)

Usually, put my car there and take a 2mins walk to Aeon across the road. Plenty of food around that area. Personally, walked abit further to one popular wanton noodle nearby.

Thanks Bro, appreciate it. will try them for my next repair job
