Independent Mechanic near Pattaya - A Recommendation

[Suksan101]

If you are seeking a skilled, independent mechanic who does excellent work and doesn't employ the ubiqitous “dual pricing” system, I can recommend DELETED. He has done consistetly excellent work at very reasonable rates. He doesnt speak English, but knows the names of common parts in English. He will happily work on old and/or exotic cars that large shops don't want to touch.

His shop is close to “Nong Pla Lai” Road, about 1.5 km from “Wat Nong Keht Yai” -

Follow this google map link to find the Wat: https://goo.gl/maps/KtWGuvUe9GM2

After you made arrangements with him to meet, the easiest way is to park close to the entrance of “Wat Nong Keht Yai” and call Khun Sakda. He will meet you there

10 minutes later and you can follow him to his garage. (The shop is difficult to find for the first or second time, so this arrangement works best).

Directions on how to drive to “Wat Nong Keht Yai” from the Sukhumvit/North Pattaya Road

intersection:

- From the Sukhumvit/North Pattaya Road drive north 7.8 km on Hwy 3 (Sukhumvit)
- Turn right into “Nong Pla Lai” Road.
- Continue on “Nong Pla Yai” Road for 2.1 km until you arrive at “Wat Nong Keht Yai'

- Park you car outside the Wat along the main road and call Khun Sakda.
