Testimonials
This is the first time I serviced my car at an external workshop. Had an issue with my transmission. DX had his mechanic check the issue on the spot and was able to advise in detail the issue, repair needed and cost. He communicated with great clarity what they were going to fix alongside their charges. DX is very genuine and definitely knows his stuff. I subsequently also had my aircon fixed. Both jobs were done well. Overall reasonable pricing with excellent customer service. Highly recommended.
Amazing experience at 1 Car! Started doing servicing with them last year, DX and his team are professional, transparent, fast and reliable. Everything was seamless and smooth, great responsiveness, superb customer service, good amenities, excellent competency in all aspect.
Really nothing but thumbs up for the great service, passion and professionalism from the team. Will definitely recommend to all friends and family to this reliable and trustworthy workshop.
Great service provided. DX is very friendly and eloquent, and patiently explained the various options for my car. I will definitely come again next time to do my regular maintenance service.
I stayed at the lounge during the service. There are coffee, tea, and drink provided there along with biscuit and candies. There is air purifier for the room as well. Free wifi inside – I didn’t use the wifi though. There is a charger on the desk as well in case the phone need to be recharged.
