I'm not sure whether this is the correct place to ask this question or not. If not the correct place, feel free to move this thread. Anyway, I would like you all to recommend reputable workshop in Penang island to me. If possible, together with the address coz I'm very new in Penang. Just stay here for less than a month only...
Thank you...;)
 
What kind of workshop you need?? what kind of work needs to be done?? Don't just say car workshop, it's too general.
 
okay... i just want to tighten up my 4-points front lower arm bar and rear lower arm bar. And probably adjust door mis-alignment. :)

lawrencelyl,
Just went to M-Power in Air Itam yesterday, have my carburetor tuned and serviced. The mechs are friendly and good in their work. They also have quite a bit of performance stuff in their showroom. Saw a Wira with Mitsu. V6 1.6 engine, quite rare. Anyway, here's the contact no. 8264462
Btw, I heard there is a shop in Tanjung Tokong. What's the shop's name and contact no.?

Sim's work is very very shitty. He overcharges like hell and if you leave your car there don't expect him to cover it if it rains. I know coz i experienced the same thing when i took my car there for some work. He chrged me 980 to retorque my turbo housing. I left my car there for 2 days and suppose to pick up on saturday. Turned up on saturday and it was raining like hell. Doors all lock and there is my car with bonnet open under a tree!! I call him no answer then after 10 minutes of trying he answers and guess where is Sim? In Sepang watching F1. I gave him piece of my mind then he called his worker to drive there and close my bonnet,and drive my car into the shade. This things go without asking mah. This is my experience and in my books Sim (Summer Sim) workshop can suck donkey ass.

phat,

feel sad for u.
 
ya lorr my poor car :( . The gate lock somemore i see like going to banjir liau really went paranoid. But this is my observation and all i hope to achieve from this is that you know what you getting yourself into.ZTH is a forum to share so others can learn and therefore actively take measures in preventing described situations. :(
 
otan which waz mention by brother Voon , from i know is a Chop shop - workshop not too sure about that but i have got his number .
From my opinion in pg island the best mechanic in terms of workmanship and price would be JIN auto , he is honest and the price is very very reasonable.

Jin Auto? Where's that? Or are you refering to Chin Auto near Jetty?
 
no it's Jin .. if u are interested then i can direct you bcoz i aint familiar with road names i just know where izzit located .. the place is not like MPower or SpeedWork which is so fancy and all , his place you can feel its like really mechanic kinda place ..
no accesories and all but he can help you find cheap stuff if u are looking for one .
