Car Repair Shop
Electric window not working. Probably the motor. Honda quoted 10k baht for a replacement assembly (for one window) including the motor. Does anyone know of a shop in town which can do such repairs?
Re: Car Repair Shop
Near the corner of ring road and 210, a row of places set back from 210. Heading towards city from Nong Wau So it is on your left half way between Tesco and Big C
I had a bumper sticker in Texas that read 'Beam me up Scotty'. I often wish I could find one in Udon Thani
Re: Car Repair Shop
I you can pull part number, either off the motor or the quote that Honda gave you and plug that into google, you may be amazed at what you can find. I have been lucky in finding all sorts of new (or used) sub-assemblies to replace the worn or broken bits of larger, more expensive assemblies that the dealership says is all that they supply.
TBH, the dealerships are all about ease of swapping parts rather than dismantling stuff like a t a breakers yard where they have disassembled a larger piece into individual component parts.

Re: Car Repair Shop
Have to tried the go to motor electricians just around the corner from the Complex traffic lights, going down towaqrds, Prince Prajak roundabout, turn left and they are immediately on the left. Two gentlemen, extremely competent and very experienced`. Go and ask the worst they can say is NO
Re: Car Repair Shop
mak, what honda and year ? i assume prices will be around 1.000 baht including sliding mechanism ,only have to transfer the window from old to new mechanism (all depending what system you have)....
Re: Car Repair Shop
Honda Odyssey 2000. I presume any shop that replaces electric window motors could do it.
Re: Car Repair Shop
wow mak not a conventional car an antique almost , as you said any shop ,at least some car shop should be able to find a replacement or be able to repair it , try one of the shops on Pokanusorn road (google maps)...
Re: Car Repair Shop
Crudy Hondas, auto windows packing it up after only 21 years.
Mak, it is probably the motor. if that is the case it can be rewound if a replacement is hard to find. Tamada's advice is pretty good, the motor is probably being used in many other models. There is a great electrical guy about 1 km on the left heading to Kut Chap, he actually repairs units so maybe worth a try as well. He repaired an EMS module for me last year and saved my over 20,000 bhat.

Re: Car Repair Shop
Plenty on ebay and coming from Japan.. Also try Ali express.
Re: Car Repair Shop
Just a quick squizz on t'internet shows lazada may be worth a stab. If it's available, there's a few YouTubes about doing it yourself.
Re: Car Repair Shop
Thanks all for the help. Got the antique fixed at a garage near the airport. 3500 baht.

Re: Car Repair Shop
Beats the heck out of costly dealership repairs, well done!
My truck is out of warranty now but I've found a good website that specializes in Ford parts, an online breakers yard so to speak. Between that, lazada, Ford Ranger forums membership and the YouTube videos, I hope to tackle most the smaller fixes by myself.

Re: Car Repair Shop
Just had the driver window motor replaced by the Isuzu dealer and service centre opposite DoHome on the Nong Khai road. No where near any past prices previously quoted here. 225 labour, 1650 part, 131 VAT.
2006 all up. Always use this dealer for servicing.

Re: Car Repair Shop
Then: My T-bird's electric window winder went out. The dealership offered a new one or a cheaper refurbished one, recommending the latter. There was a quality issue on factory units that caused them to fail quickly whereas the refurb fixed the initial quality problem.pepesgrill wrote: ↑May 7, 2022, 7:16 amthe problem with getting 2nd hand replacement

Now: I have bought parts for the sports lorry on lazada. No issues so far and most stuff comes in the original Ford package with the stores pull sticker attached. Not everything is cheaper though and I have sourced from the dealership on Highway 2 when the online price is higher.

Buy the intricate tools to take the door panels off and test the circuits.
Learn how to diagnostic test all doors.
Fit the unit correctly and test.
Replace said panels.that would be a few hours for me.
Not get an Isuzu guarantee.
Not have the privilege of sitting on a comfortable lounge with a maiden served free hot snack and hot cappuccino.
I also did get a 200 bht handsome man discount on the labour.
You can see I’m not a DIY car guy.
Good luck to those who are.
I was more than happy with a 100 dollar parts and labour deal.

Agree that it's an "up to you" choice and some DIY needs one to buy or borrow tools as well as watch a few YouTubes.Barney wrote: ↑May 7, 2022, 8:31 amAnd then post lazada?kopkei wrote:or also here DIY ? https://www.lazada.co.th/products/isuzu ... 14270.html

But the clincher for me was the lack of totty and only Nescafé 3-in-one at the DIY customer's lounge at Ford Nakha.

Re: Car Repair Shop
Add-ons ( Like alternators, Brake cylinders most electrical bits and pieces ) i agree can be sourced locally and repaired/replaced if possible, but when it comes to the Transmission, Engine, Steering the important bits and pieces, a DIY the4se days could be more costly than using a registered Main dealer.
