Mr. Lim or Ah Meng as he is endearingly called in the sim ming auto area is a Master mechanic. He has been in this line of work since our path crossed when my mom had a dead vehicle in the middle of the road over 2 decades ago.
He has since help service my 3 vehicles (honda, mazda and now toyota) over the course of their lives.
He is honest in his prices which comprises two areas, spare parts and labor cost. I can personally vouch that his spare parts are at least equal if not cheaper than the recommended workshops that my trusted friends introduce. His labor cost is another story, though slightly more expensive, its only reasonable to expect that since you are engaging a master in maintaining your precious vehicle that ferries your precious love ones or passengers. He does not use knock offs and will give u a earful if you insist on them (a well maintained running vehicle defines him duh!)
He has elephant memory lol.... still ask about my parents as if it was yesterday when he help restart my mom stalled car in AMK. When he came to know that I had kids, he asked about them as well in my next service. He passes on not just friendly advice on vehicles but also current affairs on the motor economy that might help anyone who is looking into changing vehicles, modding vehicles etc.
I was pleasantly surprised he started to embrace the social media (he was old schooled) and as such unable to resist creating this post to support an honest master mechanic after all this is the least I can do for him over the 2 decades of friendship.
