Case Study: Transforming a Perodua Bezza (Style + Safety Upgrade)

  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)

  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...

Raising the Standard of Used Cars in JB: A Perodua Myvi Case Study

  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...

  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。...

6 Tips Penjagaan Gearbox CVT Supaya Tahan Lama: Elak Rosak Awal & Jimat Ribuan Ringgit!

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...

6 Essential Tips to Make Your CVT Gearbox Last Longer (Expert Advice from Advance Auto Work)

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...

Why Buying a Used Gearbox for Your Hilux or 4x4 is a Risk: The Case for Professional Overhaul in JB

Is your workhorse losing its strength? If you drive a Toyota Hilux , Fortuner , Innova , or Hiace , you know these vehicles are built for one thing: hard work. They carry heavy loads, travel long distances, and navigate rough terrain. But this heavy usage takes a toll, especially on the automatic transmission . When the gearbox starts slipping, making grinding noises, or fails to engage 4WD, many owners face a difficult choice: Buy a used ('half-cut') unit or go for a full overhaul? At Advance Auto Work , Johor Bahru's most reliable automotive specialist, we are here to tell you why an overhaul is the only safe choice for a 4x4. The Trap of the "Half-Cut" Gearbox for 4x4s For a regular sedan, a used gearbox might be okay. But for a 4x4 or commercial vehicle like a Hiace, it is a huge gamble. Think about it: Why was that "half-cut" gearbox in the scrapyard? It likely came from another truck that was also driven hard, used for towing, or carried heavy lo...
