Arrived early morning without appointment - my Macan’s AC system was losing “coldness” and probably due to a gas leak somewhere. Ah Chong did a careful overall check for 15min - including removing passenger seat side panel to access the evaporator coil (where he inserted a line camera for visual check). Since we didn’t detect any visible leak, he pumped some UV liquid into the gas system and told me drive for a few days and come back again. This UV test will help to detect any gas leak in the system visually. Told me they must do a definitive check before recommending any repairs. Not pushy at all. I was impressed with this workshop’s professionalism as I had visited 2 other workshops earlier. The guys at these 2 workshops didn’t come close to doing any serious checks and immediately concluded that I need to change the evaporator coil (quote around $2K). Ah Chong didn’t want to take any inspection fee but I insisted and he accepted a $20 PayNow to his company. Looking forward to getting a conclusive diagnosis.", "source": "Google Maps review quoted via Local Singapore / WebSearch snippet", "source_url": "https://localsingapore.net/b/l-and-kim-car-air-conditioning-paya-lebar" }, { "rating": 5, "author_display": "juncliew", "date_relative": null, "date_absolute": "2026-06-03", "text": "Just had my cooling coil replaced by them.

Parking is difficult as well. Ah Khim attended to me, I believe he is the boss or the manager of the shop. My aircon was not working well. He did a check and found out to be the problem of my compressor, he gave me the recommendation of changing the entire compressor or the affordable alternative of changing the valve inside the compressor which is about less than half the price of changing to a new one. He say of cos changing a new one would be the ideal solution and this cheaper alternative is good enough to keep your aircon running for the next 1 to 2 years without any problem. I took the latter and went for my lunch while he attend to my car. He took 30 mins to settle the problem and my aircon is running well now. Khim mentioned that none of his customers who had the valve changed returned. Hopefully I won't be the first.
