DanBlack Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I was referred to a good mechanic on this site by someone I don't remember. Well I have been there 4-5 times with different car troubles, and he seems to know exactly what he is doing. He saved me 10,000Bt on my last visit and even recommended another shop where I should go for tires. He speaks very good English and charges very reasonably. His shop is directly across the road from the entrance to Wat Chalong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelepulse Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Are most parts readily available, or is it the old " I have to order from Bangkok so give me your money now" deal on most things? I am always looking for a good mechanic, but I don't really like the " we carry no inventory so we must order everything from bangkok" mentality. Does this guy work on all makes of car?

Franzphuket Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I am not sure, maybe you talk about the same man. He is a tall european, who holds a Thai Passport. I forgot his name, Maybe because I really do not like to get remembered of my experience. I also saw him on the last TV Party. He promised me, he would care well for this engine in my LandRover. He charged me some money, added a thermal meter, changed some water hoses. A few weeks later, my car broke down. Overheated. I found out, that one water hose was not connected strong enough and went off. This one could not be reached easily. This cost me 50.000 Baht for a new engine. I never went back to him, what kind of proof do I have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanBlack Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 This guy is all Thai. He seems to know every model of car. I don't know exactly what he has in stock, and I have had to give a deposit on big orders, but that seems fair to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
