Advance Auto Work (IP0571332-U) | Gearbox Repair Malaysia

  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) 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...

  Case Study: Toyota Alphard Double Restoration (Gearbox + Steering) At  Advance Auto Work , distance is never a barrier to quality service. Recently, our trusted workshop partner in  Simpang Rengam  sent us a Toyota Alphard that required specialized attention. The car was suffering from two major issues: a failing gearbox and a leaking steering rack. Why did the partner send it to us in Mount Austin? Because for complex MPVs like the Alphard and Vellfire, they trust our  15+ years of specialist experience  to get the job done right the first time. The Scope of Work: Gearbox Overhaul:  We dismantled the unit, replaced worn clutch plates and seals, and restored it to factory smoothness. Steering Rack Repair:  We fixed the hydraulic leak, ensuring precise handling and safety for the family vehicle.

  Restoring a Classic: Hyundai Getz Gearbox Overhaul (Partner Referral Success) At  Advance Auto Work , we believe that every car deserves a second life. Recently, we received a  Hyundai Getz  that was suffering from severe gearbox slippage. This job was special because it wasn't a walk-in; it was  referred to us by a trusted Workshop Partner . Why did another workshop send this car to us? Because when it comes to complex transmission overhauls, they know we are the  "Specialist's Specialist."  They trusted us to solve their customer's problem permanently. The Restoration Process Instead of suggesting a risky used unit for this classic car, we performed a  Full Gearbox Overhaul . We dismantled the unit, chemically cleaned every component, and replaced worn seals and clutch plates. The result? A smooth drive that feels like new. "Your Car, We Care."  We treat every referral with the highest level of integrity. 👉  Learn more about our ser...

  Raising the Standard of Used Cars in JB: A Perodua Myvi Case Study In the used car market, trust is everything. Buyers are often afraid of buying a "lemon"—a car that looks good on the outside but has a failing engine or gearbox inside. At  Advance Auto Work , we are proud to partner with responsible  Used Car Dealers in Johor Bahru  who refuse to sell low-quality cars. In this video case study, a dealer sent us a  Perodua Myvi  that had a gearbox issue. Instead of hiding the problem or selling it "as-is," they engaged us to perform a  Full Gearbox Overhaul  first. The Advance Auto Work Advantage for Dealers & Buyers Pre-Sale Restoration:  We dismantled the gearbox, replaced worn clutch plates and seals, and restored it to factory condition. Buy & Drive Confidence:  The future owner of this Myvi won't have to worry about repairs for a long time. Reputation Building:  Dealers who use our services build a reputation for sell...

  Case Study: Giving a Toyota Vios a New Look & Better Handling At  Advance Auto Work , we are famous for being Johor Bahru's leading  Gearbox Specialists . But did you know we are also a complete  One-Stop Automotive Centre ? In this case study, a Toyota Vios owner wanted to refresh their car's look without sacrificing daily driving comfort. They trusted us not just with their engine, but with their  Tyres and Suspension  too. The Upgrade List: New Sport Rims:  A stylish upgrade to give the car a sportier stance. Comfort Sport Springs:  Lowered center of gravity for better cornering stability, but tuned for comfort (not bouncy). Professional Installation:  Precision balancing and alignment performed by our specialist team. Why Choose Us? We apply the same  "Meticulous Standard"  to your suspension as we do to complex gearbox overhauls.  "Your Car, We Care." Watch the Transformation / Tonton Video / 观看视频: Projek Vios: Gabun...

  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。...

  Selamat Tahun Baru 2026!  🎆 Bila masuk tahun baru, ramai yang buat azam nak jaga kesihatan badan atau simpan duit. Tapi bagaimana dengan "kesihatan" kereta anda? Kereta adalah aset penting untuk cari rezeki dan bawa keluarga, tapi ramai yang abaikan servis sampai kereta tersadai tepi jalan. Di  Advance Auto Work , kami dah tengok macam-macam kes sepanjang 15 tahun pengalaman di Johor Bahru. Banyak kerosakan besar (kos RM 5,000+) sebenarnya bermula dari kecuaian kecil. Untuk pastikan anda jimat duit dan memandu selamat tahun ini, ini  5 Resolusi Penjagaan Kereta  yang wajib anda ikut. 1. Jangan Buat Pekak Bila Dengar Bunyi Pelik Dengar bunyi "dengung" halus dari gearbox? Atau bunyi "ketuk-ketuk" bila langgar bonggol? Resolusi:  Check terus! Jangan tunggu. Bunyi dengung selalunya *bearing* mula haus. Baiki awal sangat murah. Kalau tunggu sampai *casing* pecah, menangis nak bayar! Bunyi ketuk selalunya *absorber* atau *lower arm*. Tukar ini untuk keselesaa...

  Happy New Year 2026! 🎆 As we step into a new year, many of us set resolutions for our health and finances. But what about your car? Your vehicle is likely your second biggest investment, yet many owners neglect it until a warning light pops up. At Advance Auto Work , we have spent over 15 years repairing thousands of gearboxes and engines in Johor Bahru. We have seen firsthand how small neglects lead to RM 5,000+ repair bills. To help you save money and drive safely this year, here are 5 Car Care Resolutions you should keep in 2026. 1. Stop Ignoring the "Small" Noises That faint whining sound from your CVT? That "tok-tok" sound when you go over a bump? Resolution: Address them now. Whining: Often means a bearing is worn. Fixing it early is cheap. Waiting until it breaks the casing? Expensive. Knocking: Usually worn absorbers or lower arms. Replacing them restores safety and prevents uneven tyre wear. 2. Respect the Fluids (Especially CVT/ATF) Fluid is the li...

如果您驾驶的是现代汽车，如  Honda City, Toyota Vios, Perodua Myvi (新款), 或 Proton Iriz ，您很可能使用的是  CVT (无段变速箱) 。 CVT 确实省油且平顺，但相比传统的自动牙箱 (4AT)，它也以比较“娇气”而闻名。如果保养不当，维修费可能高达数千令吉！ 作为在  Advance Auto Work 拥有超过15年经验的牙箱专家 ，我们希望分享  6条黄金法则 ，以确保您的 CVT 持久耐用。 1. 开车前先热车 不要一启动引擎就马上入挡行驶，尤其是在早上。 为什么？  让引擎运转 1-2 分钟。这能让 CVT 油有时间循环到整个系统并达到合适的工作温度。又冷又粘的油无法为金属部件提供最佳保护。 2. 黄金法则：完全停稳才换挡！ 这是司机最常犯的错误。千万不要在车子还在移动时从  'D' 换到 'R'  或  'R' 换到 'D' 。 后果：  这个动作会给 CVT 内部的钢带 (steel belt) 和滑轮 (pulley) 带来极大的压力。久而久之，会导致钢带打滑甚至断裂。 3. 避免暴力驾驶（尤其起步时） CVT 是为平顺、连贯的驾驶而设计的，不是为了赛车。 正确做法：  避免从静止状态猛踩油门 (hard acceleration)。让车子循序渐进地加速。也应尽量避免急刹车。 4. 严格遵守换油时间表 (专家建议) 不要等到手册上写的 40,000km 或 80,000km。马来西亚的炎热天气和拥堵交通属于“严苛驾驶条件”。 我们的建议：  每  20,000km - 30,000km  更换一次 CVT 油（特别是如果车子已过保修期）。 重要：  不要等到感觉打滑或听到异响才换。那时可能已经太迟了！ 5. 保养油冷器 (Oil Cooler) 许多人忽略了这个部件。油冷器用于稳定变速箱温度。高温是 CVT 的头号敌人。 我们的建议：  每  100,000km 到 120,000km  更换一次油冷器。如果冷却器堵塞或泄漏，牙箱会过热 (overheat)，导致内部零件熔化或损坏。 6. 别忘了 Auto Filter (滤网...

Ramai pemilik kereta moden (Honda City, Toyota Vios, Perodua Myvi baru, Proton Iriz) menggunakan transmisi  CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) . CVT memang jimat minyak dan lancar, tetapi ia juga terkenal dengan sifatnya yang agak "manja" berbanding gear automatik konvensional (4AT). Jika salah jaga, kos pembaikannya boleh mencecah ribuan ringgit! Sebagai  Pakar Gearbox di Advance Auto Work  dengan pengalaman lebih 15 tahun, kami ingin berkongsi  6 Tips Emas  untuk memastikan CVT anda tahan lama. 1. Panaskan Enjin Sebelum Bergerak Jangan terus masuk gear dan jalan sebaik sahaja enjin dihidupkan, terutamanya pada waktu pagi. Kenapa?  Biarkan enjin hidup 1-2 minit. Ini memberi masa untuk minyak CVT beredar ke seluruh sistem dan mencapai suhu operasi yang sesuai. Minyak yang sejuk dan pekat tidak dapat melindungi komponen besi dengan optimum. 2. Pantang Larang: Jangan Tukar Gear Semasa Bergerak! Ini adalah kesilapan paling biasa. Jangan sesekali tukar da...

If you drive a modern car like a  Honda City, Toyota Vios, Perodua Myvi (new generation), or Proton Iriz , chances are you are driving with a  CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) . CVTs are excellent for fuel efficiency and smooth driving, but they are known to be more "sensitive" compared to traditional automatic gearboxes (4AT). If not cared for properly, repair costs can reach thousands of Ringgit! As  Gearbox Specialists at Advance Auto Work  with over 15 years of experience, we want to share  6 Golden Rules  to ensure your CVT lasts as long as possible. 1. Warm Up Your Engine Before Driving Don't just shift into gear and drive off immediately, especially in the morning. Why?  Let the engine run for 1-2 minutes. This allows the CVT fluid to circulate throughout the system and reach the correct operating temperature. Cold, thick fluid cannot protect the metal components optimally. 2. The Golden Rule: Complete Stop Before Shifting! This is the m...
