January 28, 201115 yr For the past eight years I have been driving an ancient Mazda 626. For the first three years I was constantly being ripped off by mechanics who took money for work which later proved not to have been done. Five years ago I was introduced to a mechanic and I have been constantly amazed by his total honesty and great service. He works from his house which is far from the city center however he will come to your home, leave his car there, and take yours away. He charges foreigners exactly the same as Thais and his work is excellent. He does speak some English however for the initial contact in giving the address it would be helpful to have a Thai speaker call him. He may be contacted on 081 7156819, Mr. Sakda.

February 9, 201115 yr My Partner has an old camry 1995 which has been playing up, we called Mr Sakda and he came to our home in Jomtien and fixed the car. He supplied 4 new spark plugs adjusted timing and fixed HT distributor lead, cost 700 bht while we watched in car park He was ontime knew what he was doing and in my opinion very cheap, thanks to the original poster for putting his details on board, I can highly reccomend him :jap:

April 23, 20206 yr Does anyone know Mr. Sakda still work? And does he know on diesel car problems? As i do have, when accelerating at low speed from 20/30 Kmh, some times a ticking sound in the engineroom. I suppose this can be a problem on injectors, fuel pump or perhaps valves. But the ticking sounds is only at this low speed range.

Great person and very good mechanic. I took the car to him to change the alternator, he looked at it right away, gave me a very reduced estimate and brought me home in his car. He agreed to bring my car home when it is finished.
