Chery car repair in Masai
Chery repairs start with a diagnostic inspection at RM 80 for a small car or RM 120 for a larger model, taking about an hour. The inspection identifies what needs fixing; repair costs follow once you approve the scope.
What symptoms tell you a Chery needs repair?
Listen for grinding or squealing when you brake, clunking over bumps, or rattling from the engine bay. Watch for dim lights, a battery warning light, or slow engine cranking. Feel the steering pull to one side or the air from the vents turn warm.
Why do Chery models commonly bring these faults in?
Omoda 5, Tiggo 7 Pro and Tiggo 8 Pro experience routine wear in brake pads and suspension bushes — typical for any car running the roads here. Battery and charging faults emerge as the electrical system ages. Fluid leaks and air-conditioning problems follow exposure to heat and moisture.
What does the workshop check during the inspection?
The technician listens to how the engine starts and runs, tests the battery voltage and alternator output, examines brake pads and suspension components for wear, and inspects visible cooling and air-conditioning parts. Any fault codes are read from the onboard diagnostics.
How do you know whether repair is urgent?
A grinding brake noise means metal-on-metal contact—the car is unsafe to drive hard. A flat battery that keeps returning signals a charging fault. Steering that pulls hard to one side affects control. Dim lights at idle can mask hazards. Bring the car in before the fault worsens.
Common Chery symptoms and what the inspection reveals
| What you notice | Likely cause | Inspection checks |
|---|---|---|
| Squealing or grinding brakes | Worn pads or scored rotors | Pad thickness, rotor surface, brake fluid |
| Battery warning light on | Alternator or battery fault | Charging voltage, battery test, belt tension |
| Air not cold from vents | Refrigerant leak or compressor | System pressure, visible leaks, compressor clutch |
| Clunking over bumps | Worn suspension bushes or shocks | Shock condition, bush play, spring wear |
Chery specifics
Omoda 5, Tiggo 7 Pro and Tiggo 8 Pro commonly come in for brake pad wear, suspension maintenance, battery replacement, and air-conditioning service. Fluid leaks—engine oil, coolant or refrigerant—are checked during every inspection to catch early signs before they become expensive repairs.

Frequently asked questions
What does Pungbrother charge to look at my Chery if nothing is obviously broken?
An engine diagnostic inspection costs RM 80 or RM 120 depending on model size. The technician will read any fault codes, test the battery and charging system, inspect brakes and suspension visually, and listen for unusual engine noise. You get a written finding and a repair quote before any work starts.
If I hear a noise when I turn the steering wheel, does that mean suspension is failing?
Not always. Worn suspension bushes click when turning; so do worn CV joints or low power steering fluid. The inspection checks suspension movement and play, tests power steering pressure, and examines the driveline. Many noise sources cost differently to fix, so diagnosis comes first.
Should I replace my battery now or wait until it fails?
If cranking is slow, lights dim at idle, or the battery is more than four years old, replacement now avoids being stranded. Omoda, Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 batteries typically last four to five years here. A battery test shows remaining life; if reserve capacity is low, replacement is cheaper than a jump-start breakdown.
Can I book a service for my Chery the same day I call?
Most repairs are completed the same day once diagnosis is done and parts are in stock. Call +60 11-3591 1335 or WhatsApp the model, symptom and year. The workshop confirms availability. Brake and battery work typically takes one to two hours; air-conditioning and suspension need longer slots.
