I'm kinda hesitant to go to workshops and wanted to avoid headaches and just get a brand new car after 150k km passed.
But with my further research, maintaining a car would rather save me extra bucks than buying a new car every 5-6 years or so. But that's not always the case, mechanics/workshop has a big impact onto it. So I still feel that its not worth the headache it may give.
After 6 years and hitting the150k+ km mark, i started to notice that parts are getting worn off, i can feel shuddering on front hood and AC refrigerant is leaking. I went to multiple workshops to look onto it and some of them replaced parts that isn't even necessary, so its like throwing pennies for nothing. My frustration started to build up and I feel like its not really wise to spend specially if you cant find a trusted workshop. I even experienced some mechanics who forgot some screws that leaves my engine cover flapping at the bottom, misplacing the refrigerant cap, maladjustment of break pad that results a squeaking sound, leak on the bottom of oil pan due to the damage of cap during removal of oil, and so on.
Hence, I decided to give it another shot and found the Grace Auto Repair Workshop. I have a good impression that they are professionals, the workshop is clean and there is no bunch of cars on the line.
They'll give you the diagnosis direct to the point, fast and accurate. They have a competitive price of parts and labour, a continues update of work with photos during repair, and with timely schedule. On top of that, I made this review 2 months after the job done and I can say that they really did well.
I would like to give a shoutout to Praveen who gives frequent update and to Mr. Eby Thomas, he's a hands-on/lead mechanic with good personality. I can say that his very well seasoned & experienced mechanic, and passionate on what he is doing.
This kind of workshop has no place for back job or rework, but a place to satisfy customers and aim their trust. A very professional way to gain profit I would say.
I definitely will trust them my car for future maintenance.
