Don't go to Lee Tyres in Court 2 USJ6.
My friend is quite happy with Twan Auto Service in USJ 20. But I send my wira/avanza to Pandamaran.
Your engine probably needs only head gasket replacement i.e top overhaul, I would stay away from any mechanics that recommends complete overhaul which includes all bearings and piston ring replacement.

Edit: yeah 6K is ridiculous for your engine condition.

Thank you zeng,

I will drive over to Twan Auto Service as you recommended and see what they could do.

I heard GeotAuto was an alternative to the Peugeot service center, but that kind of price is a load of rubbish.

I am hopeful to have this sorted out.

Thank you again.

I remember top overhaul is around rm600 to rm800. Not sure if top overhaul really involve head gasket replacement though.

Full overhaul is around 3k to 6k depend on parts that are known and yet to be known to be replaced. Sometimes engine replacement is cheaper than full overhaul.

Im not so familiar with that engine, what the part costs are OR what the mech wants to change.... but for that kind of money you can easily fully rebuild a most simple Japanese engines @_@ (not one of the high performance ones ofc)

I 'hope' this Twan Auto fellow is an honest guy .....
if they offer you 'full overhaul', I'd suggest you walk away.

Edit:An honest 'top overhaul' job should include replacements of head gasket kit and valve cover gasket only.
Unless mechanically in poor shape and to keep costs low, an honest mechanic (which is lacking generally) should replace other consumables like valve stem seals, spark plug set etc only when really necessary.

Any shops to recommend in Penang to rebuild a 4G13 engine for wira? Im looking for a shop that rebuilds engines as a specialty, not just once in 5 years.

Same here... but no reputable workshop in pg area .

paging Balanced

You can try this workshop, DRG motorsport. Its a car + motor workshop. Beside sungai nibong bus terminal.
He is a bawah pokok mechanic, he's a malay guy who constantly overhauls mitsubishi and honda cars mostly. Also the price he charge is quite cheap for full overhaul. But he takes his time and doesn't like people to rush him.

Any recommendations for shops in KL/S'gor that specialise in:

1) Engine overhaul/top overhaul/rebuild
2) Auto transmission

My car is a Wira 1.5 AT.

Thanks!

pomen2u nt nice?
or mainland p44 autoworks

P44 autoworks? Just looking for kerja kemas type of workmanship.

Gonna spray engine bay and overhaul my engine. Basically wanna make it look factory fresh finish

This guy have a lot of car that he haven settle, JDMH or 199 garage (for turbo car) recommended.

if mechanic say :'Old car like that loh..... '
meaning:-
1. he does not seem to interest in service and repair your car?
2. old care realy like that...
3. time to change car!

I'll say time to go to another workshop. LOL...old car if maintained properly will still perform almost like new.

Just that local mechanics are lazy or don't know how to find out the problems. All rattlings can be fixed. All shaking can be fixed. All leaks can be fixed.

Hi guys, y'all can recommend a good workshop (trusted) for Honda Civic FD?
Preferabbly in PJ area for service and also overhaul.

Would appreciate the input.

Appreciate if someone can recommend good and reliable mechanic to do overhaul or replacing engine for my bezza due to overheating issue.

Areas: PJ/ Damansara/ Subang/ Sunway.
