Top 5 Mechanics in Bangkok for Repairs, Upgrades, and Everything in Between

  • Quality of services – We focused on how well they figure out and fix your car problems, including their problem-solving approach, communication, and turnaround time.
  • Parts and products – We looked into whether they use quality parts, such as OEM parts, or dependable aftermarket options that keep you safe on the road.
  • Warranty and guarantees – We checked if they back up their work with warranties or guarantees, either for labor, parts, or both.
  • Convenience and scheduling – We took note of their location, hours, and any extra perks little shuttle services, loaner vehicles, or even emergency roadside help.
  • Price – We selected companies with fair prices, considering inspection fees, labor, and materials based on their basic rates and average client quotations.

When Lisa sang “In the car, top down, black shades on” on Born Again, my friend definitely felt the same windy sensation—just not in the way he wanted. His car window wouldn’t roll back up, leaving him with a rising panic, and he didn’t feel like Thailand’s next Rockstar.

What he did feel was an urgent need for a mechanic. I guess you could call it a blessing in disguise because once he got to the shop, he found out his brake pads were thinner than his patience on a scorching Bangkok afternoon.

Whether you’re dealing with surprise breakdowns, overdue repairs, or planning performance upgrades, finding the right mechanic is key. That’s why we’ve reviewed the best mechanics in Bangkok for some peace of mind on your next drive.

TS Motor has been in the game for over four decades, facing and handling all sorts of car issues, upgrades, and requests. From what we’ve seen, many cars come in to get new paint jobs or repairs—it’s no surprise, given that they boast about their 2K paint system.

What’s also reassuring is that they back up their work with solid warranties—a one-year guarantee on overall services and a three-year promise on the paint’s gloss and color stability.

They also work under contracts with several insurance companies, so you can feel more at ease knowing their credibility and quality. 

Bonus points to their English-speaking staff for making communication smooth, especially for expats or non-Thai speakers, to explain their car issues without hassle—no more back-and-forth with a translator app.

However, they’re closed on Sundays, so you might need to plan your visit around that or wait until the weekend for your car to be done. Still, TS Motors is a top contender, considering its level of experience and quality of service.

Pros

  • Over 40 years of experience
  • Provides antique car restoration 
  • Offers warranties and guarantees 
  • Has English-speaking staff 

Cons

  • Closed on Sundays

    Amazing quality

    “Amazing quality honesty.  Good humor and speaks English.  Totally trusted on time and as promised.  The price was very good.  If you are a foreigner and need body shop – highly recommended.   This is a Thai establishment that caters to very established and good people.  Thank YOU!   The car was a wreck and now perfect”

    We like how Autowerks Asia Co. offers a comprehensive range of services. You can visit them for ECU tuning, service and maintenance, upgrading performance parts, motorsport and track day, restoration and builds, and more.

    They’re headquartered in the heart of Bangkok—featuring a 2,000-sq.m. workshop and showroom space, you can expect to see more than just your average auto shop. And quite frankly, it gives you the confidence to leave your car behind after seeing their facilities.

    Thanks to their team’s experience partnered with modern equipment and facilities, they have a good reputation for working on supercars too. 

    Just a heads-up, though—their rates are on the pricier side, so if you’re working with a tight budget, it’s probably a good idea to chat about pricing upfront.

    Lastly, one of their highlights is their automotive media service—think photography and videography but for your cars. It’s unique and would be perfect if you’re a car enthusiast looking to show off a bit or a business trying to up your marketing game.

    Pros

    • Offers many services 
    • Has automotive media services 
    • Has a large facility
    • Great for luxury and sports cars

    Cons

    • Slightly pricier rates and quotes 

      Great, friendly, and professional 

      “Great friendly and professional place to tune your cars. Lots of high end sports cars to super cars are parked here for service. Not only do they have most car parts from exhausts to suspensions, but also great services for car wash and films. Highly recommend to come and trust them with your cars.”

      Andrew Chin, Google Review

      Amazing job

      “Did an ECU, High Air Flow Filter and Turbo upgrade there! Amazing service and staff who know their expertise very well. Andrew and his team did an amazing job and certainly I will come back again.”

      Doctor Auto Clinic stands out for its experience with handling supercars and European cars—it’s their forte. They can take care of maintenance, repairs, car body paint, collision repairs, color restorations, protection services, and tuning and modifications.

      Another major perk is that they offer online technical support from overseas car distributors to help with coding and programming all the control units. They’ll guide you through fixing the issues, providing detailed insights, and making sure the solutions meet factory standards.

      Also, with their focus on supercars, it’s no surprise that their rates aren’t exactly low (pricier, even). So, it’s a good thing that their service, maintenance, and spare parts come with a one-year warranty—you won’t have to worry about cash if anything pops up after the job’s done.

      On top of that, they also have a three-year warranty on the car body paint and collision repair services. It’s nice to know that your investment is well-secured.

      Pros

      • One-stop for supercars and European cars 
      • Offers online technical support 
      • Warranty on service, maintenance, and spare parts
      • 3-year warranty on car body paint and collision repair service

      Cons

      • Pricier than others 

        Very professional, very knowledgeable

        “Doctor Auto Clinic – Robin inspected a 2nd hand Porsche Cayman 718 for me in Bangkok  ( I live in Chiang Mai ) .  Very professional job , very knowledgeable .  Great communication by email and LINE  and went out of his way to meet the seller and inspect the car. I would highly recommend Robin for this service.  I will be getting some maintenance work and a paint job done there in the near future. Thanks Robin -”

        Don Baker, Google Review

        You won’t be disappointed

        “The machine is made and here the paint work is very smooth. You won’t be disappointed when you go in to do it. There’s no distortion. Next time, definitely use the service again.”

        What we love most about Fatboy’s Motorbike Mechanic Bangkok is how they help expats with their scooter and motorbike needs. It might not sound like a big deal, but it has helped hundreds of expats, saving them from all the stress and miscommunication.

        Their pick-up and drop-off service for motorbikes is also a thoughtful touch, especially if your bike isn’t road-safe anymore or simply undrivable. 

        It’s also worth noting that you can rent scooters, motorbikes, and cars from them, which can come in clutch if you just happen to need a ride ASAP while you wait for the repairs on your bike. Plus, they even throw in free delivery, making the transaction easier.

        We also like how you can sell your motorbike or car to Fatboy’s—if it’s in good condition—they’ll quickly take it off your hands and give you some quick cash.

        But it’s quite a bummer that they don’t focus on cars, so you’ll have to look elsewhere. Nonetheless, Fatboy’s Motorbike Mechanic Bangkok is a reliable contact for speedy and convenient motorbike repairs.

        Pros

        Pros

        • Great with expats 
        • Offers pick-up and drop-off services
        • Has motorbike and car rentals 
        • Quick sale of bike or car for cash 

        Cons

        • Doesn’t focus on cars

          Work quickly and efficiently 

          “In this workshop, the mechanic does not always have free time, because they are a team of professionals. The queue for repairs indicates that people trust their motorbikes, they work quickly and efficiently.”

          Artem Gorodkov, Google Review

          Very nice service and a reasonable price

          “Very nice service and reasonable price!! Highly recommend. I’ll just come here if my bike needs anything.  And thanks for helping me to change the tire!”

          BDS Performance Company Limited is all about taking motorbikes to the next level since they specialize in boosting performance—whether it’s a basic scooter or a sports bike.

          We also have to give them credit for helping clients achieve the vision they have and bring their dream bikes to life. They’ve got the connections, experience, parts, and skills to build a bike that’s tailored to your specs and preferences. 

          It’s also cool how they can maximize your motorbike through their optimization and enhancement tuning. In other words, they can increase your confidence and handling by adding the correct spring rates, dampening mechanisms, and settings for your bike—with accuracy and finesse.  

          The catch? Their rates are higher than others, so you’ll need to check with their estimates first before proceeding. And keep in mind that they don’t service cars at their shop.

          On the bright side, from inquiry to post-service follow-ups, clients have been satisfied with their communication and responsiveness. They keep you in the loop, going back and forth to double-check everything’s on track and is as discussed.

          Pros

          • Provides comprehensive services for motorbikes
          • Great at building bikes
          • Specializes in optimization and enhancement tuning 
          • Exceptional communication

          Cons

          • Doesn’t focus on cars
          • Pricier than others

            Dedicated team

            “If you are looking for motorcycle suspension tuning experience in Bangkok BDS performance is the place to go! Spring rate, SAG, pre-load, re-bound – Brad and his dedicated team will get best performance out of your suspension set-up and bike. I upgraded my CB 500 X with Wilbers products about 2.5 years ago. Perfect choice. After 50.000 km I can say that it was well worth the investment. Today I had my second front and rear suspension service completed by BDS performance. Again excellent job done!”
