MURAKAMI Auto Shop Parts and Maintenance

Had my Mirage G4 serviced (100K PMS) last 10/11/2022 and I couldnโt be happier with their quality of service as well as my moneyโs worth.
I always see their shopโs name in Facebook posts and most, if not all, of the reviews are positive. But nevertheless, since I was happy with the previous auto shop I went to (sounds like KaKru), I did not pay them much attention.
Then came the day for my 100K PMS. I came prepared at KaKru and brought my own spark plugs and serpentine belt since both are due to be replaced. To my utter surprise, their labor fee for changing the plugs is โฑ1,560 and itโs going to be โฑ700 for the belt. Thatโs on top of the โฑ1,560 PMS fee. It appears that KaKru is trying to screw me with ridiculous fees. Frustrated, I decided to scrap the recommended procedures and changed shops instead.
Murakami is only a couple of minutes away so I decided to give them a shot. And it was the best decision I made that day. They performed a semi-full PMS (semi because KaKru already changed my oil) that included a full checkup, throttle body and MAF sensor cleaning, spark plug replacement, and engine wash. They also changed my brake fluid and I had them install new rear coil springs (thank you, Francis). All of those for only a small fraction of what KaKru would have charged me if they had done the same.
With that said, Murakami will now be my go-to shop. They may not have a large space, air-conditioned lounges, and whatnot, but I would trade all that comfort in a heartbeat for a shop that provides a bang for the buck excellent service.
