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? A smooth drive and total peace of mind for the next few years, not just a few months.

Kisah Benar: Risiko Gearbox 'Half-Cut' (Honda Accord T2A)

Baru-baru ini, rakan bengkel kami dari Masai menghantar sebuah Honda Accord T2A. Pemilik kereta ini baru sahaja menukar gearbox jenis 'Half-Cut' (terpakai) 3 bulan lepas, tetapi malangnya ia rosak semula.

Di Advance Auto Work, kami jujur dengan pelanggan. Kami ada menjual unit Half-Cut jika bajet anda ketat, tetapi anda perlu tahu risikonya:

• Half-Cut (Potong): Barang lama, sejarah tak tahu. Waranti cuma 2 Minggu. Risiko rosak balik sangat tinggi.
• Rebuilt (Pilihan Pakar): Kami buka, cuci, dan ganti komponen dalaman (seal/clutch) dengan yang baru. Waranti 6 Bulan.

Untuk kes ini, kami selesaikan masalah pelanggan dengan memasang unit Rebuilt. Biar alah membeli, menang memakai. Jangan bazir duit bayar upah pasang dua kali!

案例分析：二手牙箱 (Half-Cut) 的隐形成本 (Honda Accord T2A)

来自 Masai 的合作伙伴最近送来了一辆 Honda Accord T2A。车主的故事值得大家警惕：他在 3 个月前为了省钱，换了一粒二手的 "Half-Cut" 牙箱。结果？仅仅过了3个月，牙箱又坏了。

在 Advance Auto Work，我们提供两种选择，但我们会诚实告知您区别：

• Half-Cut (二手): 来自报废车，里程数未知，内部油封可能已老化。保修期：仅 2 周。
• Rebuilt (翻新): 彻底拆解清洗，更换全新的磨损件（摩擦片、油封）。保修期：6 个月。

为了让车主彻底摆脱烦恼，我们为其安装了 专业翻新 (Rebuilt) 的牙箱。虽然价格稍高，但长远来看，这才是最省钱、最安心的选择。

Frequently Asked Questions / Soalan Lazim

Q: Why did the half-cut gearbox fail so quickly?

A: Half-cut gearboxes are used units. The internal rubber seals often harden due to age, leading to pressure loss and failure within months.

Q: What is the warranty difference between Half-Cut and Rebuilt?

A: We offer a 2-week warranty for Half-Cut (high risk) vs. a 6-month warranty for our Professionally Rebuilt units.

Q: Do you support workshops in Masai and Pasir Gudang?

A: Yes, we are the trusted technical partner for many workshops across Johor, providing delivery and trade-in services.
