Recommendation: Reliable workshops in JB

[aspenco]

Last done there is before covid. All in RM 60 or 80. MY ride only need front 2 wheel alignment.
Recently, heard from a tire shop the new altis 4 pts wheel alignment, RM 40.
I have yet to see such prices (after conversion) in SG.

damn, rm80 for all 3 is very reasonable. i just did wheel alignment here last week, and paid 60$ for it. lol

mind sharing where this shop is?

Anyone did aircon works in JB workshop? I know the most recommended one here is Sheng Auto. If need to remove dashboard, can they finish in one day (drop off in the morning, evening collect)?

If need to leave overnight then I have to stay hotel one night, maybe end up savings not much and should just do in SG instead.

Sheng Auto, Depends on what car, usually morning bring car, late afternoon can collect car liao. Of course, depending on parts availability. Thus, better call and ask for quotation and parts availability and booking.
For my case, cos driving myvi. So parts are readily available. Just need call make a booking. Else wait awhile if they run out of air con parts for my car. lolz
I did once changing cooling coil with them, that was at their old shop. Morning first car start at 1030am, remove dashboard. by 2pm, ready liao.

There's a famous air con shop recommended in this thread or MCF, can't remember.. I've personally patronised that workshop in 2016 and was given honest feedback and repair works.. they do solely air con only..

B4 MCO, I rem one of the shop at Pelangi. Recommended here also .
I went ahead to get them checked. Solely doing aircon. Denso Authorized.
They checked my ride Myvi. Found no fault no leaking.
Car problem is when stuck in jam, air con start to reduce its coolness.

Then i go Sheng auto, also after reading that is popular here. Jackson of Sheng Auto, managed to resolved my car air con problem. Just add more rubber packing on the front condenser and fan.

From that day onwards, i uses them till now they have new bigger work shop.

Thanks. Same issue as yours, traffic jam compressor doesn't kick in, no issue when car is moving. SG WS topped up gas but permanent solution will be to remove dashboard and fix the leak. Possibly cooling coil.

I will monitor my car and check with Sheng Auto on parts. If can get back on same day, should be worth the jam and trip. I would think the cost savings will be quite significant since it is a labour intensive job.

Any recommendation for WS to change brake pads? I bringing my own parts. What's the market rate for labour charge there?

20-40rm for easy jobs like break pads, for bigger jobs 60-160rm. Anything more, just insist they give you this pricing. 80% will agree one. My collegue from johor say one

Make appointment before going to Sheng Auto.

Thanks. Did brake pad change at a tyre shop at Pelangi 2 weeks back. At first quoted RM60, I bargained to RM50. Aiya SG car price premium. They were nice to check the condition and top up air for all 4 tyres, friendly service so I'm happy to pay a bit more.

Sadly SG plate car will get premium price... But if the price is still within our comfort level, then okay

Compared to do it in SG, easily like SGD$50 and above. Thus, i usually do not ask for price down. Moreover, these days, all price up liao.
As long is cheaper price than SG, i straight away let them do. Thats my logic.

Whats is your actual question? Almost all JB workshop can do. Is not a very difficult task.
