TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is seeking recommendations for reliable and economical car mechanics in the Rangsit area, expressing concerns about being overcharged as a foreigner. Several commenters respond, suggesting B Quik and FIT Auto service centers, highlighting their positive experiences and stressing that these businesses avoid 'farang prices.' One commenter mentions the importance of using reputable services to ensure quality and avoid being ripped off, while another suggests consulting the Expat Car Club Thailand for further advice.
It depends on what you want to do, if it's just general servicing, tyres, brakes, and suspension etc, I've had good experiences with the FIT Auto service centres, they are usually situated at the back of the PTT gas stations, B quick or Bacs I've heard are also okay, see if there is any in your local area, I personally got fed up with back street garages, generally just ripping me off with over charging, or even charging for work that didn't need doing, or not doing it at all and still giving me a bill, and sometimes using cheap parts bought on Lazada, while being focused on maximum profit, I also had the same issue with the motorcycle, I now go to the honda dealership for everything, it's the same price, or slightly more than those little rip off motorcycle shops, with the car I use the above fast fit centres, and anything they can't do, its off to the main dealership, it's more than worth the extra to know it's been done correctly with genuine OEM parts and oils, the good thing with the above mentioned businesses, there is no farang price or ripping off, it's disheartening because I was always a supporter of small family run businesses.
