Good evening LYN readers.

I am here to share my experience with Lim Tayar TTDI~~~~ (TOTAL RUBBISH)

I was at Lim Tayar on the 29th January 2014 to remove some nails on my tyre in the morning. Just like normal I sat there and waited for my car to be fixed.

5 minutes later, one of the mechanics said, Boss can come over for a moment. So I walked to my car...

First of all he told me, my back tyre was unusable cause it has reached its marking line...which was true. Second thing he told me was, Boss the tyre you use

"Chappalang brand" - aka "tyre celup" I was thinking to myself, what the bloody fool is this idiot talking here. I was using Kumho Ecsta SPT which

is not bad and pretty well known in the market. But fine....he said the front one was damaged by the nails as well. So I said oh well change all four tyres then to "YOUR" recommended tyre.

They gave me a set of Continental CC5 tyres... (A FREAKING JOKE IMO)

Ok FINE...I will go with the tyres anyway. The car was completed about 45 minutes later and the worker told me "KAO TIM BOSS". I drove it happily away to my university...

Got off the car and looked at all four tyres.... It was lacking of air in all four tyres. Ok still fine with me, told myself to pump later after my classes.

Went to a petrol station and filled up all the tyres...The front tyres was at 140kPA and the rear....I dont even wanna mention... Getting me pissed off a little bit.

Drove home happily again...parked my car got off the car and saw one of tyres looking a little flat AGAIN~!!!! I WAS @#$%^ Chinese New Year was round the corner!!

I had to constantly pump air for the back tyre every FREAKING 12 HOURS so I can drive my car around!!! I WAS SO MAD I DECIDED TO CHANGE TO MY SPARE TYRE ON FIRST DAY OF CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!!

Today I returned to Lim Tayar TTDI again!!! to ask them to fix my problem. One guy came and took the back tyre to check and I waited...After the guy was done repairing it, he didn't even bother to tell me it was done...I was still waiting Until the boss came over and say your car is ready....

THE MAIN PROBLEM HERE IS NONE OF THEM EVEN SAID A WORD OF APOLOGY MAKE ME GO THROUGH @#$% DURING MY FESTIVE SEASON AND I GET THAT IN RETURN

CONGRATULATIONS LIM TAYAR TTDI~! YOU HAVE JUST CREATED ONE ANGRY CUSTOMER!!

when a company/business open a branch, this type of problems will happen

I expected a little better from them considering they are quite well known... saying sorry isn't that difficult...

pic of the said shop?

so what was wrong with your tyre? Why the need to pump air every 12-hrs. Faulty Valve?

What was your tyre size and how much did they charge you?

Any famous camber tricks?

Depending on what you drive... they treat you differently... true story... not just coming from me but several other people who have went there...

well, maybe is just your bad luck, I did mine in Bandar Selayang Baru (BBS), find a guy name Alex... responsible mechanic...

i had same experience with assholes Mechanic...
My car can't seem to accelerate much, no matter how much pressure I step on it, the car still no kick..

I went to the workshop and ask why, then one head of mechanic with his bulldog face (referring to same branch at BBS) told me it was my tire problem, cheap tires, then say it's my break pad as well... I kept silent and ask him to suggest, he ask me to change my tires, breakpad and overhaul my engine. which cost more then RM 6000.00.

I was like No way, crazy...

end of the long story, one mechanic name Alex look at my car, test drive with me, and honestly telling me that... he don't really know what was the problem too, but should try to slowly rectify. so he told me to change my engine oil, (I just changed mine within 1 month) but looking at the cost of rectifying the problem is about RM 180.00. I go with it.

End of day, just because the engine oil was the issue, it was still see thru quality, but somehow it affected the engine.

Moral of story, get a trusted Mechanic and let them help you check.
Do 2 - 3 checking and never tell the new mechanic your issue else they will base on the facts you given and they will act upon it.

You can also write to Lim tayer management and launch a report.

Nowaday hard to find trusted mechanic or workshop. Their advice may be true or may be business tactics (earn more from your pocket).
Being conned by a trusted mechanic before which spend 1k plus to overhaul engine (he suggested) after one week, issue come back and went back to demand to recheck, told me need to unmount engine again which will cost me another 800 (so call discounted labour charge). He suspected another part cause this issue. but i demand free of charge, he just leave me alone and attend another customer.
Lesson learned, prefer go to proper service center, even though bit expensive but its repair job, spare part and labour charges are clearly stated with warranty. At least not the best choice but is better one

lim tayar at tmn melawati not very good oso, they tot u are noob trying to brainwash and slay you

Thanks for you catch up friend. Will take note on this shop, this is around my area...

Probably you can have a try this shop near RHB bank in Uptown..

This Lim Tayar branch is infamously well known. Nuff said.

Can't agree more, I typed Lim tyre TTDI on google and many bad feedbacks came out. Should have done that earlier...

Stupid also... when wanna trade in new tires with other tires, they said u tires is old so we buy cheap only...
I said why ? They said coz ur car plate no is old, aldy 1 year...
What a f***...
I replied to them, if i driving new mazda 6 with plate no BAB 1... my car is aldy 40 yrs old...???
They quiet and I straight away blah...

The TTDI branch has been there since mid 90s, I think.
I still remember I repaired my Saga there, so I had to wait hours for a very simple repair. It's true, if your car is not expensive brand, you will be second class customer.
I never go there again.

Yup agree with everyone's points here. Went through a lot of crap from them.

Customers who send to lim tayar ttdi are insensitive priced customers.. So as owner of the workshop, what better opprtunity than to just con ur customers saying this n that rosak, need replacements. I see alootttt of recon car owners sending their car there and i believe they are the type who just send the car there n repair/replace whatever the mechanic said must be replaced.

Conclusion.. Dont ever go to a really big big workshop in an area which is quite well known as abit 'atas' area.

lim tayar is suck ever the shop
for me will choose only one main shop and has no many branch one
as they will tell u reason and ask you first before change or replace tyre

It's not about the car you drive, it is solely due to unprofessionalism on them itself !

Plenty of bad experiences shared on web. Avoid them like the plague. Rather travel further to Segambut or USJ to get my tires fixed or alignment/balancing done although both places are further. At least experience and customer service (plus prices too) are way way better.
