Recommendation: Reliable workshops in JB

[rbth x 0408]

This is a good price. You won't be able to get such price in SG. Thanks for the heads up.
All these years of travelling into JB for car servicing, mod and repairs.
Can say some workshops are cheaper than the other but workmanship CMI. While those workshop with higher prices than usual ones but still cheaper than SG price, workmanship is detailed and may have attitudes.
Thus finding a good ones not that easy after old timers retires.
Thus have to choose wisely.

yep..can't comment on the skill or workmanship coz mine was a pretty straightforward issue.
but it does seem that he does the basic things well and labour cost is definitely cheaper than SG.

Hi all, here's a good workshop for u all to consider near bukit Indah.
He specialize in Korean cars, but of course like any other workshop he also do Japanese car. For conti car, do check with him.
The workshop is call SK1 auto.
Address is
21, Jalan Indah 16/11, Taman Bukit Indah, 81200 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia

Whatsapp contact: +60 16-285 6922

One man show boss, very knowledgeable and very reasonable pricing for labour.
Some of his parts might be more expensive than sg stockist, but he is ok if u bring ur own parts in.
So far I changed radiator(470rm), fuel filter (brought my own) and engine oil(brought my own). Labour is 150rm.
Atf change labour 35rm.

Normally ill ask him for a quote on the parts first. If it's more expensive than sg then I'll buy and bring it to him to change.

Went in from woodlands side today to change my atf oil, my usual workshop is abit far so find a random workshop to do it. I brought my own atf oil. Finally picked this workshop called jb ah keong auto trading as it was empty at that time.
Boss is very friendly, change my atf within 20mins and did some checks on my car (brake pad, engine oil, wiper fluid, etc.) and even clean my engine bay using air pressure gun.
After everything, ask him how much and to my surprise he only charged me 15RM for the labour. One of the cheapest workshop I ever been to.

The address is
No. 75, Jalan Perisai, Taman Sri Tebrau, 80500 Johor Bahru, Johor

Good information and thank you for sharing. I preferred such shop.
I usually use one at Permas Jaya. OMO. Put car walk go shop shop, call me when car done or discovered some parts need to be replaced.

Hey guys, long time I haven't peaked in here. Hope everyone's doing well.
I wanted to check if there are any recommendations for good workshops for Mercs/conti?
The old list I had made years back I had listed We Care Auto and HL Carcare for contis. Are these still good or any others? TIA.

Depends on car model and brand. You can call up Sheng Auto Car Accessories. Find them on Facebook. I always go there for car accessories and air con related matters.

Buy locally and bring over to any car tire workshops to fix it. Freed is not common in JB, may have difficulty for the JB workshop to find the parts there, unless is a common parts used on civic or HRV in JB.
Refer back few posts, there is a member shared a workshop in Bt Indah side?
Personally, my go to workshop is at Permas Jaya.

This is was my first option back then. After they could not solve my car air con problem, Sheng Auto solved it.
Fuji Car cooler did all the correct procedure to diagnosis but could not find any problem with my car air con system.

Suggest you buy the parts in SG and bring over and pay labour. Try to hide it well (not in your boot) in case you kana checked and need to pay tax at MY side.

When I changed my suspension in SG (original stock), the parts were Made in Japan and Thailand. WIll be expensive in MY due to their import tax.
