What we repair

Workshop Services

From routine servis kereta to the heavier car repair jobs other workshops send away. If you are not sure what is wrong, message us with the symptom and we will tell you what it usually is before you commit to anything.

🛠️

Car Servicing & Maintenance

Scheduled servicing to keep your car reliable, using genuine or premium-grade consumables. Your choice of tier.

The first TotalEnergies Quartz Auto Services (TQAS) Centre in Brunei. We also stock Shell Helix, Liqui Moly, Castrol and Pennzoil, so you choose the oil your engine gets.

  • Engine oil and oil filter change
  • Air, cabin and fuel filters
  • Brake fluid, coolant, gearbox oil
  • Spark plugs and ignition service

Alternator & Starter Replacement

We supply and fit complete alternator and starter assemblies from our own counter, so a charging or starting fault is usually sorted in one visit instead of leaving your car sitting while a rebuild is turned around.

Signs: battery warning light, dim or flickering headlights, car cranks slowly or clicks and will not start.

  • Alternator assembly supplied and fitted
  • Starter motor assembly supplied and fitted
  • Charging and starting system testing first
  • OEM, premium or standard tier, your choice
❄️

Car Aircon Service

Brunei heat is hard on air-conditioning. We do aircon gas refill and compressor oil flushing at the workshop, which is what most cars need to blow properly cold again.

Signs: air not cold, cold only when moving, weaker cooling than it used to be.

  • Aircon gas refill
  • Compressor oil flushing
  • Cooling performance check
  • Cabin filter replacement
🌡️

Radiator & Cooling System

Overheating is the fastest way to turn a small bill into an engine rebuild. Bring it in early.

Signs: temperature gauge climbing, coolant smell, white smoke, a puddle under the front of the car.

  • Radiator repair and replacement
  • Water pump and thermostat
  • Hoses, fan motor and fan clutch
  • Cooling system pressure test
🛞

Brakes & Suspension

Ride and stopping power, including shock absorbers, where we stock KYB and other established brands on site.

Signs: squealing or grinding when braking, soft pedal, bouncy ride, knocking over bumps, uneven tyre wear.

Not sure it is even the suspension? Ask about our suspension test. We put the car on the lift, check shocks, bushings, links and ball joints, and tell you what actually needs doing before you spend anything. Message us for the current price.

  • Suspension test on the lift
  • Brake pads, discs and calipers
  • Shock absorbers and struts
  • Bushings, links and ball joints
  • Wheel alignment and balancing

Brake work has its own page: brake pads and brake repair.

🔧

Steering Repair

Steering faults come on slowly, so most people put up with them far longer than they should. We replace the whole rack or just the worn end, depending on what is actually at fault.

Signs: steering pulls to one side, vibration through the wheel at speed, a whine when turning, or the steering feels heavy, loose or notchy.

Nine times in ten it is a tie rod or rack end rather than the rack itself, which is the cheaper end of the job. We check the linkage before recommending anything.

  • Steering rack replacement
  • Tie rod ends and rack ends
  • Power steering pump and hoses
  • Idler and pitman arms
  • Power steering fluid service
🔌

Electrical & ECU Diagnostics

Scan-tool diagnosis for warning lights and intermittent faults, so you replace the part that has actually failed.

Signs: check-engine light, warning lamps, electrical faults that come and go, car will not start intermittently.

  • ECU scanning and fault code reading
  • Sensor testing and replacement
  • Wiring and earth fault tracing
  • Battery and charging diagnosis
⚙️

Gearbox, Clutch & Drivetrain

Clutch and drivetrain work for both automatic and manual vehicles. On gearboxes we replace rather than rebuild, which gets your car back on the road faster and with a known unit rather than an unknown repair.

Signs: slipping or jerky gear changes, clutch slipping, whining or clicking on turns, vibration at speed.

  • Clutch replacement
  • Gearbox replacement and swap
  • CV joints and driveshafts
  • Engine and gearbox mountings
🔩

Engine Repair & Overhaul

Heavier mechanical work handled in-house, with parts sourced from our own counter.

Signs: knocking noise, heavy oil consumption, loss of power, blue or white exhaust smoke.

  • Timing belt and chain service
  • Head gasket and cylinder head work
  • Oil leak diagnosis and repair
  • Engine overhaul
Why bring your car here

Parts Counter and Workshop, Same Roof

Most workshops have to order your part and wait. We have been supplying parts since 1978 and the workshop sits on the same premises as the stock, which changes how a repair actually goes.

01

Less waiting

With 60,000+ SKUs on site, common repairs do not stall waiting for a part to be ordered in.

02

You pick the tier

Genuine OEM, premium aftermarket, or standard. We explain the honest trade-off and you decide on budget.

03

Right part, first time

The people fitting the part and the people who know the catalogue are the same team, so fitment errors are rare.

04

Straight answers

If a repair is not worth doing on your car, we will say so. Nearly fifty years of local trade runs on that.

How it works

Booking a Service

Message us on WhatsApp

Send your car make, model, year and what you are experiencing. A photo, or a short video of the noise, helps more than you would think.

We advise and quote

We tell you the likely cause, whether the part is in stock, and roughly what it should cost, before you drive over.

Bring the car in

Drop it at Spg. 27, Jln. Gadong, Menglait. Straightforward jobs are often same-day, and we will be honest if yours needs longer.

Common questions

Before You Book

How much does a car service cost in Brunei?
It depends on your vehicle and which tier of parts and oil you choose. A small Japanese hatchback and a Continental SUV are not comparable jobs. Message us your car model and year on WhatsApp and we will give you a figure for a standard service before you come in, so there are no surprises.
My alternator has failed. How long will I be without the car?
Usually the same day. We test the charging system first to confirm it is actually the alternator and not the battery or a belt, then fit a complete replacement assembly from our own stock. Because the unit is on the shelf downstairs, you are not waiting on a rebuild turnaround or on a part being ordered in. Same for starter motors.
Do I need an appointment, or can I just drive in?
You are welcome to drop by during opening hours, but messaging ahead on WhatsApp is better for you. We can check the part is in stock and give you a time when a bay is free, rather than having you wait.
Which car makes do you service?
Japanese, Korean, Malaysian, Chinese and Continental makes, the same range we stock parts for. Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Hyundai, Kia, Perodua and Proton are everyday work for us.
Can I supply my own parts?
No. We only fit parts supplied by our own counter, so that we can stand behind the part and the workmanship together. With over 60,000 SKUs in stock we can almost always match what you are after, in genuine OEM, premium or standard tier, and often on price too. Send us the part name or your chassis number and we will quote you.
Do you do car aircon service?
We do aircon gas refill and compressor oil flushing at the workshop, which is what most cars need to get cold air back. Message us with your car model and what the aircon is doing and we will tell you whether that will sort it before you come in.
My steering feels loose or wanders. What is it usually?
Most often worn tie rod ends or rack ends rather than the steering rack itself, which is the cheaper end of the job. Sometimes it is a ball joint or a tired bush. We check the whole linkage before recommending anything, because replacing a full rack when a rod end would have fixed it is money you did not need to spend.
My steering has gone heavy, or whines when I turn. Can you fix it?
That is usually the power steering pump, a leaking hose, or low fluid. We replace pumps and hoses and we stock them at our own counter, so it is normally a same-visit job rather than waiting on a part. Send us your car model and what you are hearing and we will tell you what it usually turns out to be.
I searched for a car mechanic near me. How far are you?
We are at Spg. 27, Jln. Gadong in Menglait, roughly ten to fifteen minutes from Bandar Seri Begawan town, Kiulap, Beribi and Berakas, and well under half an hour from Rimba, Sengkurong, Jerudong and Mentiri. Plenty of our regulars drive in from Tutong. If you are not sure whether it is worth the trip for your particular problem, message us first and we will tell you honestly.
Where exactly are you, and when are you open?
Unit A, B & C, Bangunan Haji Ali Husein Mohamed, Spg. 27, KM3, Jln. Gadong, Bandar Seri Begawan BE4119. Open Monday to Saturday, 8am to 5pm. Come straight to the service & repair counter and we will take it from there.
