Say honestly... i haven't got a quote yet but only told them that I will be doing my headlamp :s13::s13:

Trust them with the pricing. I done most of my parts (HU, reverse cam, speakers, lights, spoiler, window visors) with them incl aircon. More to come... =:p

I have a bad experience over at this shop. And is my first and last. Changed aircon filter and they installed the new filter incorrectly. Discovered it when i send my ride for a air con system cleaning at another shop away from KSL area.
Since then, i avoid those ws over at ksl.

Prices over that whole stretch of ws near ksl is expensive. Mostly target for SG cars.

Just spotted this post and like to share my 'bad experience' about this Ah WEE (opp KSL).

I bought 3rd party alarm and plan to bring it in JB to get it done (as labour cost is cheaper there thou).

Was there rather early then as wasn't caught in any jam in.
Ah Wee shop open pretty early at 9+am which I think most shop start around/after 10am.

Asked him about the cost of installation as I wanted to do a boot-release with it too(it a given yet optional function).

He quoted me installing of alarm at rm180 and if I need to do the boot function additional rm80.
Total of rm260, which I feel it not cheap at all (almost the price to install in sg thou).
So I politely told him I will think about it and was to leave.
He then, said if I do now he charge rm60 for boot release cost which I still declined and said will think about it.

Went for breakfast and drive around.
asked a 2 other workshops, both quote me rm150.

I do not know how 'good' the workmanship of this AH WEE can be but for sure am not paying for the price quoted(close to SG rate wor)

So be warned when going there to get things done.
If got time to spare, try to compare a few workshops.

Just my 2cents worth for what happened just recently(less than 1 month).

Any shop near KSL is a chop carrot shop. If you do notice, nearly every car related shop also named themselves as Ah Wee.

I tried Ah Wee, dunno which Ah Wee cuz there's so many Ah Wee. So I drove in to one of the Ah Wees one fine day to try out if it's really chop carrot.

Asked for change of coaxial speakers left & right door, was quoted RM100 with mounting brackets. Realised no need these brackets, he collected RM50 from me instead.

Maybe the experience is fine cuz he shared that he's driving the same car as me :s13:

any recommendations for wax and polish service in jb?
I have a few car wash shops in jb promoting their services to me. most use autoglym.

im not intending to do coating due to some negative reviews. going for traditional wax and polish.

There are negative review for coating? Care to share? And somewhere i heard traditional polishing would make the paint coat layer thin, correct me if im wrong.

Getting my ride soon, and I was thinking of doing coating. Upon saw your reply. I was halt back.
