Elviskua Clutched October 29, 2007 Share October 29, 2007 My auto gearbox finally fail on me after working hard faithfully for me after 3 years. I was quoted 8k by the authorised dealer .(dun want to mention which as dun want to get flamed). I get to know this workshop located at Sin Ming introduce by my friend that specialise in autotransmission. Problem resolve and can change gear smoothly and my ride is more fuel economy as compared to before as think the clutch is replaced. Price paid is not even half of what being quoted and also comes with a half year warrantee. Strongly recommend uncle meng @90225288 chinese speaking and great customer service.

Qpik Supercharged October 29, 2007 Share October 29, 2007 Last time it used to be unheard of. Now, . A fren of mine gear box died just after 3yrs. He was quoted 14k for a new one before labour cost. He thrashed it with AD & managed to get a recon at half-price including labour. His car was a Conti & starts w AXXX. Conti car is good but when the parts fail on u, the replacement cost can be very Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elviskua Clutched October 30, 2007 Author Share October 30, 2007 (edited) according to him, they will replace whatever wear and tear parts and restore the it to be as new as they could. cos they also dun want to have customer keep going back to claim for their warrantee as it take time and effort to unload the gearbox..
