Try Zillion in To Kwa Wan ... They do good work. But parts come a bit slow. But I think that is everywhere in Hong Kong.

I have a really bad experience with this shop as they don't take responsibility of your car at all!! Not offensing but it's true

I got my car to have body kit install.... the experience was awful. At first, the color doesn't match at all so they promised me to repaint it and will return it in a week - I trusted them.

A week later, I asked the 'boss' the status and he told me the car should be ready shortly... Ok, so i insist to see my car and then found out the work was even not started!

WTF.... so I told them to tow back my car to me.. I don't mean the boss is dare to lie but I can tell that he doesn't really care his customer's car once it was given to other shops.

When I got back my car, the car was full of insect running around. Man!!! It was a new car! Thye told me they have driven it to some Sheung Sui or Fanling area (I forgot exactly) and park in some rural area...

Gosh, and my door was scratched as well..... they ended up paid me back the money to repaint... which is ok but yet this is not the most awful experience I have with the store, I still have some other even worser experience but I don't have any evidence so I dare not to disclose it here...

but I do have some good experience with a shop in Kwun Tong called Robinhood... Yes, they charge higher than others but they are very professional. For me, I don't mind to pay a bit extra if I am sure the work will be done right.

In addition, the manager (Steve) will give you really unbias advice. At least, if something is not good to do he will told you not to even he can make more money out of it...

A week later, I asked the 'boss' the status and he told me the car should be ready in 1 day... ok, so i insist to see my car and then found out the work was even not started! WTF.... so I told them I don't trust them anymore and they tow back my car to me.. I don't mean the boss is dare to lie to me but I can tell that he doesn't really care his customer car + status once it was given to other shops....

When I got back my car, the car was full of insect running around... man!!! that was a new car! I believe they have driven it to some Sheung Sui or Fanling area and park in some rural area...

Gosh, and my door was scratched as well..... they ended up paid me back all the money... which is ok but yet this is not the most awful experience I have with the store, I still have some other even worser experience but I don't have any evidence so I dare not to disclose it here.

It was a nightmare but any way, i sold that car :-P

Yeah I have noticed he does lie quite a bit in terms of when my parts are arriving. But I am almost done and I check over all their work quite closely. Shops surely arent like the US. Then again some of the other shops are worse. The costs at Zillion are cheaper than most though.
