Case Study: Transforming a Perodua Bezza (Style + Safety Upgrade)

  Case Study: Transforming a Perodua Bezza (Style + Safety Upgrade) The  Perodua Bezza  is Malaysia's favorite sedan, but many owners complain about one specific issue:  Unstable handling at high speeds (The "Floating" Feeling). At  Advance Auto Work , we don't just fix broken gearboxes; we solve driving problems. In this case study, a Bezza owner visited our Mount Austin workshop looking for a solution to improve stability without sacrificing daily comfort. The Solution: Comprehensive Undercarriage Upgrade Adjustable Suspension System:  We installed a high-quality adjustable suspension kit. This allows us to lower the car's center of gravity (reducing body roll) and tune the damping for a firm yet comfortable ride. Sport Rims & Wider Tyres:  We upgraded the stock wheels to stylish Sport Rims with wider tyres. This increases the contact patch with the road, providing significantly better grip and braking performance. Result:  A Bezza that look...

Case Study: The High Cost of "Cheap" Repairs (Honda Accord T2A)

  Case Study: The High Cost of "Cheap" Repairs (Honda Accord T2A) At  Advance Auto Work , we believe in honesty. Recently, a trusted  Workshop Partner from Masai  sent us a Honda Accord T2A with a failing transmission. The story behind this car is a common warning for all car owners. The owner had replaced the gearbox with a used  "Half-Cut" unit  just 3 months ago. Unfortunately, that used unit failed prematurely, forcing the owner to pay for repairs all over again. Half-Cut vs. Rebuilt: The Honest Truth We do sell Half-Cut units for budget-conscious customers, but we always explain the risks: Half-Cut (Used):  Comes from a scrapped car. Mileage is unknown. Internal seals may be hardened.  Warranty: 2 Weeks only. Rebuilt (Advance Auto Work):  Fully dismantled, chemically cleaned, and worn parts (clutch plates, seals) are replaced with new ones.  Warranty: 6 Months. For this Accord, we installed a  Fully Rebuilt Gearbox . The result...

2026年养车指南:5个必做的“新年决心”以避免昂贵维修 (新山专家建议)

  2026 新年快乐!  🎆 迈入新的一年,很多人都会为健康或财务设定目标。但是,您的爱车呢?汽车通常是您第二大的投资,但许多车主往往等到警示灯亮起才去理会。 在  Advance Auto Work ,我们在新山 (JB) 拥有超过 15 年的维修经验,修复过数千个牙箱和引擎。我们亲眼目睹了太多因为忽略小问题,最终导致 RM 5,000 以上维修费的案例。 为了帮您在 2026 年省钱并安全驾驶,这里有  5 个您必须坚持的养车决心 。 1. 别再忽视那些“细微”的异响 CVT 传出的微弱嗡嗡声?过路墩时的“叩叩”声? 决心:  马上检查,别拖延。 嗡嗡声 (Whining):  通常意味着轴承 (Bearing) 磨损。早期修复很便宜;等到它磨坏牙箱壳,费用就贵了! 敲击声 (Knocking):  通常是避震器或 Lower Arm 老化。更换它们可以恢复安全性并防止轮胎吃边。 2. 重视油液保养 (特别是 CVT/ATF) 油液是变速箱的血液。在马来西亚的炎热天气下,油质变质的速度比手册上写的更快。 决心:  每  20,000km - 30,000km  更换一次 CVT/ATF 油。 别等到 60k km。勤换油是防止钢带打滑或离合器烧毁最便宜的“保险”。 3. 农历新年 (CNY) 前检查底盘 农历新年快到了,回乡路途遥远且容易塞车。您绝对不想在南北大道上抛锚。 决心:  跟我们预约  免费底盘检查 (Free Diagnostic) 。我们会检查刹车、传动轴 (Drive Shaft)、轮胎花纹和胎压。 4. 关键维修别用“二手”(Half-Cut) 零件 如果今年牙箱不幸坏了,别赌运气。 决心:  选择  专业翻新单元 (Rebuilt Units) 。 二手牙箱的里程数是未知的。我们 Advance Auto Work 的翻新牙箱换上了全新的油封和离合器片,并附带  6个月保修 。这是杀车厂给不到的安心。 5. 找一个值得信赖的修车师傅 (并坚持用他) 经常换车厂意味着没人知道您车子的维修历史。 决心:  让  Advance Auto Work  成为您的专属专家。...
