Screw those penipu scammer tyre shops. Just changed 4 pieces of tyre, they told me I need to change camber screw, stock screw not adjustable, and my tyre makan dalam, simple alignment can't solve the prob, I tell them I will come the next day. Later on I went to seek for 2nd opinion from some older tyre shop, the uncle told me there is no need to change to adjustable camber screw , nowadays most of the tyre shops wanna earn extra. He proceeded to do simple alignment, only charge me rm10. Malaysia is full of penipu scammers nowadays.

Please share this honest uncle shop name and address

3 years ago I also kena from Wxng Hxng in Bukit Kemuning, their tyre price was good, but asked me the same thing saying my camber screws need to be changed somemore must be in one pair end up paying extra rm95 (per piece or in pair i forgot).

Just now I just changed all 4 tyres again, in Seri Kembangan, there is this Malay shop Autohaus KL, today is the last day of their Raya promotion and I got Continental CC6 195/55R15 for rm170 (normal price would go back to RM200). They also carry Brigestone EP300 at rm135 (normal price 195). In the end I just need to pay the tyres and rm30 for alignment. I was waiting to see if they would do the camber screw scam on me (since I'm a new customer) but they didn't even mention it. I also told them to check my brakes, they checked and say everything is ok-seems very honest! I most likely will go back there next time. To all dishonest shops, this is what you'd get: people will bad-mouth you for every dishonest act that you performed, and honest shops will get prompted by people who appreciate them.


I think I should mention their address so you can give them a try, and report to us if your experience differ:

Autohaus KL
No 1, Jalan BPP 5/8, Pusat Bandar Putra Permai, Seri Kembangan.
Phone: 8940 0200
