Guys,

My car had suffered a horrible "alternator death" yesterday and, after reading about Kwong Weng here, went to them for repairs. My alternator is too busted to be repaired and luckily, they have a "new" (I believe these are refurbished parts, made new) alternator in stock, so I had saved a bunch of money. Earlier on I went to another shop who had quoted RM 950+ for refurbished alternator, and RM 1400+ for a new, albeit not original part. Kwong Weng quoted me RM 400++ all in.

It is true that these guys are experienced people, and so far seems honest to me. A big thanks to the TS who started this thread, otherwise we would not have known of these fellas.

After speaking to the nice aunty, she mentioned that they are also doing air con compressor repairs and power windows mechanism repairs.

Also, by next year they would be shifting to Kepong, due to the MRT taking over their current site. Their new address is as follows:

KWONG WENG ELECTRICAL TRADING CO.
65, JALAN METRO PERDANA TIMUR 7
KEPONG ENTREPRENEURS PARK
7th MILE, JALAN KEPONG
52100 KL

HP 012 2913346.

Nope, am driving a Chevrolet instead. The original alternator is made by Delphi. But some GM marques uses Valeo too..especially Vauxhall and Opel.

I would suggest you to visit them and ask them whether they could accommodate your request. Or just call them up beforehand.

What I heard from hearsay is that the local distributors of jap cars had jacked up the prices of the original prices. Had never owned a jap car before so don't have any personal experiences.
