Lesson learnt, from now on will just buy & get my 2 reliable mechanic to fix. There is a workshop by the name of Ex Cool, highly recommended.

Avoid painting your car at a shop in seri kembangan called Kam foong, spend RM2.8K on a paint work, after 6 months the paint is ripping off, bubbles started to pop out and it gets scrash easily

This thread is very helpful

I have plan to do top overhaul for my car (1997 cefiro a32 VQ25), i want to replace all the seals and also make sure that everything is in good condition, does anyone have information on how much i should prepare? ( labor cost only or all-in cost perhaps)

Does anyone have a recommended workshop to do the job?, i live at bandar kinrara puchong,

I'm sorry if my question is unrelated, please help me bro, sifu, i'm afraid ended up dealing with 'conman' workshop

Tint Solutions at Kuchai Lama (opposite KFC)

Bough a promotional voucher from Groupon, called them up to set appointment for last Saturday (appointment set for over 2 weeks). Reach there as scheduled & handed over my keys, was informed that my car would be ready in 3 - 3.5 hrs time. Since not that long, decided to hand around Kuchai area instead of continuing with my errands.

After 3 hours, went back to the shop & anticipating another 0.5 hr wait but instead, my worst nightmare started. Upon reaching the shop, noticed that they have not even started to work on my car since handing over to them 3 hours ago!!!!

Then, they assigned an inexperienced fool to work on my car, don't know how to remove the door panelling, throw temper like a bloody retard. Slamming my car door hard, yanking my door open hard & nearly hitting a steel rack placed in their work area, cursing about when working on my car, yanking the panels out hard etc...........all because this retard is inexperience. What really shocked me was that the bosses & supervisors just pretend as though he is doing the right thing despite knowing that i'm there watching.

I was speechless & can't do much without risking more damages to my car. Finally after another 2.5 hours of waiting (waited in total 5.5 hours), all tint installed & drove off but that's not the end of it yet. Yesterday morning, did a check on the tint quality & noticed that the rear glass tint is already bubbling, one of the door seems to have distorted (a few spots) reflection, distortion along the heating elements line at the rear glass. Still checking & monitoring both the tint & whether any damages to my car.

An official complaint to Groupon & possible to Consumer Tribunal if any serious damages found.

Strongly advice all to avoid this tint shop.

Deal buys are excellent. I have found some very good restaurants due to such sales. But as a rule, avoid deal buys (such as from Groupon), no matter how cheap, on the following sales which have to do with:
- window films
- car detailing
- holiday packages

I have also seen counterfeit brands being sold as original, so always do some research before purchasing anything.

Have actually bough deals from Groupon for car tint & car detailing previously for HM's car & on both occassion, no complaint as the 2 said shop really kept their end of the bargain, work diligently on the car & returned on the agreed time frame. That was the reason why i actually returned to Groupon for deals.

No doubt, there are a lot of bad deals there in Groupon, that's why I only shop for selected deals. Have encountered previously buying stuff & only received the goods after waiting for 1.5 months.

Why a 'no' for holiday deals? No bad experience in that regards so far.

Care to share from which shop?

 

[DanzEterna]

i also scouted around groupon when i wanted to tint my e90, was worried that they had to remove the door panels while
in the process might destroy the wires or worst dent my door panel.

summore they had hidden costs like extra rm90 for 1.8cc above, rm90 for luxury car etc...

therefore i was fed up & searched in mudah.my & found canny cool that located in subang jaya ss15 i was quite satisfied with their service,
appointment fixed at 1pm, upon reaching there were 3 cars in line but i just waited there for my turn after 2 hrs.

when my turn came, surprisingly they did not remove the door panel, just the rubber window seals, & only 1 professional guy that does that, not other tint installers know how to remove it.

everything completed after 3 hrs, overall im a satisfied customer. i would recommend to others - canny cool.

I don't recommend such buy deals for car tint, detailing, and holiday packages because of the inferior products/services they give, not necessarily always because of scam or fake items. At the end, you have to weigh the low price and the possibility of receiving low quality work or item.

Lucky you.

Sadly not much of good shops around nowadays. Everyone with a little bit of skill want to open own shop & employ freshies & try to train them. Best part is the 'trainer' himself is only half pail of water
