Rung Charoen Garage — quick summary for drivers
Rung Charoen Garage is a car repair shop with an aggregate Google rating of 4.3 from 17 reviewers, open Monday through Saturday 08:00–18:00 and closed on Sunday, and it lists wheelchair accessible parking on site.
What customers say works well here
Multiple reviewers highlighted that the shop employs technicians with long experience who handle general repairs, engine work and paint spraying, and at least one reviewer noted the business offers a warranty on repairs.
Several reviewers called out reasonable pricing for the work they received, indicating cost is a recurring advantage mentioned by customers.
One customer who broke down very close to the garage described calling a tow truck, waiting about five minutes for it to arrive and paying a towing fee of 700 baht, and added that the owner treated them kindly during that encounter.
Repeated customer complaints to watch for
At least one reviewer reported receiving an unfriendly response over the phone, a single interaction that led them to decide not to proceed with the garage.
Another reviewer said the shop declines minor repair jobs and many insurance-claim part replacements, and that the garage appears to prioritize paint and major-collision work because those jobs are more profitable.
How to decide if this garage fits your job
- If you need collision repair or paint work, this facility is likely a good candidate because experienced technicians and warranty coverage were specifically mentioned by customers.
- If your intended job is a small parts replacement submitted via insurance or a minor repair with low expected profit, consider looking elsewhere first because at least one customer reported refusal for that type of work.
- If a fast tow and on-the-spot help are priorities, note there is at least one positive account of very short tow-arrival time nearby, but that account came from the customer arranging the tow, not from the garage advertising towing services.
Practical tips before you call or visit
- For insurance claims, get explicit written confirmation from the garage that they will accept and process your insurer’s work before you arrange a tow or commit to bringing the vehicle.
- When you call, ask for the name of the staff member who will handle your job and request a simple statement of acceptance policy for insurance-related parts or minor repairs to avoid surprises on arrival.
- Bring documentation required for warranty claims and note the shop’s stated warranty so you can confirm coverage and any limitations before work begins.
- If you expect to wait during repairs, there are several restaurants and spas in the immediate area where you can pass the time comfortably while the shop works on the vehicle.
How to use this information
Use the above details to match your service needs to what customers consistently report: strong technical skills and fair pricing for substantive repairs, paired with a business model that appears to favor higher-margin collision and paint jobs and some risk of unfriendly phone interactions. Verify acceptance in writing for insurance work and confirm the specific person handling your case before committing.
Bottom line
Rung Charoen Garage can be a reliable choice for engine, paint and collision repairs where experienced technicians and warranty support matter; for small insurance-driven part swaps or minor non-profitable jobs, save time by confirming acceptance in advance or seeking a shop with explicit insurance-friendly policies.
