Nice place, lots of makan places nearby and most important that "town" is quite new, wont give you those " kenna" robbed feeling ...

This shop specialized in Honda cars ...

Was charged RM360 for
SUMO R1 Drift Master (5W40) Motor Oil
Original Honda Oil Filter
BG110P Friction Fighter Advance Forumula
BG105 Quick Clean for Engine ( Flushing)
Computerized Balancing and Alignment.

Very friendly staff. - After the computerized check, was told that the rear support arm might need to change and ask me to consider changing it as the wear and tear on the tires will not be even. Told them will get back to them and they say since the rear arm is faulty they will need do the alignment .. ask whether I want refund or not and I say no need. Next time they just do back for me after I got the support arm fixed ...

You can Jet Cheng @ +6012 7223531 to check on their pricing.

Was also quote RM75 for Iridium NGK spark Plug.. will replace that next servicing ..

Place is at No. 46 Jalan Tanjung 8/3
Taman Sutera Utama
81300 Skudai, Johor.

PS: Tried the food located just right behind this service centre ... very good ! There is also a Ultra Racing Shop around the corner ..was quoted RM200 for the Honda ODY RB1 Front Strut bar. ..maybe will fixed it there next time ... also got Autoglym and Meguier Polish shop and Carrefour also there... nice and bright place to hang out while the car is serviced.

Wow, the prices you quoted are really cheap. Which car were you buying for?

I thought Thian Seng was in Waterloo St. Didn't know they had a branch in Bkt Merah. Is it the same TS?

Yes near carrefour. There's a very nice foot massage shop there, the posh one with the very big banner. I always go there to burn some time while the car is being serviced.

Did you check out the price from sg stockist? unless you go jb very frequently, or you know them very well. if not i would definately stay and watch them do the job.

I used to go jb for some some work but find that when there is issue...that the begining of nightmare.....my own experience. not that local doesn't hv this problem.

Locally will be easier cos can just drive down and get them resolve it, you cant do that if done in jb loh.....
