NewGarage Review

For all the PI bros that are sick and tired of the high costs of Garage R, i highly recommend a new garage that specializes in Mazdas and RX-8 called Monster Garage, located opp Jeep Chee at ubi.

Went there to install my side strakes, rear crest, and finally my ATF cooler and i must say am very impressed by the service and pro of the owners and the engineers there (Han, Ivan etc). Somemore, the prices are very very reasonable.

e.g. Instead of paying some $800 for an ATF cooler at Garage R, you can get it for less than half that at Monster.

After hearing some scary stories from PI servicing agents e.g. Sportswagen, i'll most prob bring my ride down to Monster for regular servicing liaoz.

Pros:
- new workshop with brand new equipment
- very professional, high technical competency
- carry great brands for rotaries - knight sports, autoexe, RE amemiya
- free milo ping

Cons:
- too many RX8s there, go already sure poison
- they need to print a servicing booklet soon maciam Garage R dey

hey heyy

what kind of mods?

now mainly direct bolt on parts which is best for us...but i see bigger things to come from the guys at monster.

what kind of repairs?

they have good contacts to do repair works so no worries.

carry what brands?

Exotic brands like RE, Knight sports, Autoexe are the 'house' brands...but i am sure they can bring in things from Japan upon request.

when is opening?

opened already....

look for who?

The name's Woon.....Ivan Woon (coupe07)

Think is time to bring in your website !

Why don't we help them to start with a domain name:

OH PLEASE DO NOT CLICK ON THE URL IT WON'T WORK

1) www.monster-garage.com.sg (More local feel)
2) www.monster-garage.com (More international feel)

OR

3) www.monstergarage.com.sg
4) www.monstergarage.com

It looks like www.mg.com.sg is still available ...
