petercallen Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 Someone must know of a service centre, quite a few people have viewed the topic information would be much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 The place at the back of Junceylon only does tyres & brakes. In the Chalong area I would recommend the garage about 100m past Tesco Chalong on the other side of the road. Almost opposite Fisherman's Way new small mall.

petercallen Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 I called in to one of the recommended workshops today and was not impressed We were going to Patong on business so i called into the B Quik service centre at the rear of Jungceylon which i and other people thought was just tyres and brakes. They are a fully equipped workshop with qualified mechanics and all the necessary equipment open between 800 and 2100 hours every day and you do not have to book a appointment I asked for a basic service and asked them to check the car over, the spark plugs needed replacing and the air filter element was filthy among other things, the car is running a lot better, its been using of fuel lately and i expect a big improvement in fuel economy. I will be using them in future for all my car servicing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Thanks for that Peter. Might go there for service due now. How long did you have to leave your car ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercallen Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 4 hours but i also had the front brake pads replaced and brake discs skimmed. also had the air conditioner serviced and had to wait for awhile for a hoist and mechanic to be available. If you are there at 8 AM you will probably get your vehicle serviced straight away, they have about 5 hoists and plenty of staff and its first in first served, we only had to wait about 30 minutes in a busy period Everything they did needed doing and should have been done where i was having my car serviced before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called out and a bloke popped up with a crowbar in his hand,it put me of straight away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starkey_rich Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 What was the price like?I think I need my disc's skimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katabeachbum Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 What was the price like?I think I need my disc's skimming. Try Manit Center Max next to Supercheap Inexpensive brake jobs In general a newish car should be serviced by main dealer at least once a year. Recent years car recalls are done quietly in Thailand by doing them same time as servicing without informing or charging customer. Same thing goes for bikes. My 2010 Kawaski Ninja 650R has had a minor cover replaced for free and without telling me while servicing, as a world recall done quietly in Thailand. Only main dealers are informed and has parts to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
