\n\n

1) The Friendly 'Ah Bang' Workshop Owner<\/h1>\nWelcoming and warm, these type of workshop owners will shake your hand when you enter, offers you food and drinks in a small\u00a0waiting corner while his workers pamper your car. He will talk to you as if you were his child\u00a0and asks about your day. This is the type of workshop owner\u00a0you will want to meet for your car needs.\n\n\"\"\n\n
\n\n

\u00a02) The \u201cNO\u201d\u00a0Workshop Owner<\/h1>\nHe will\u00a0add the same two letter word in front of his replies most of the time. Got discount? No discount. Got free car cloth? No free cloth. Can help me check\u2026? No time. Can give me some advice on\u2026? No advice. He likes to listen to the song \u201cNO\u201d by Megan Trainor. \u00a0\"My name is NO, My name is NO\".\n\n\"\"\n\n
\n\n

3) The Pushover\u00a0Workshop Owner<\/h1>\nHe will be afraid of customers with umbrellas. This type of workshop owner is often seen hiding in his office, behind his mechanics and always carries a shield for any potential umbrella attacks. You can\u00a0simply raise your volume\u00a0and all bargaining power will be your side. To deal with him, volume and umbrellas are your prime weapons.\n\n\"\"\n\n
\n\n

4) The Car Boot(licker)\u00a0Workshop Owner<\/h1>\nEvery time you enter his workshop, you feel like the most perfect person on earth. He compliments everything about you from head to toe even if you're hungover and haven't bathed in a week. (Ew.)\u00a0He will be the ultimate confidence booster and your new best friend. His fort\u00e9 is to\u00a0sugarcoat everything he says to you.\n\n\"\"\n\n
\n\n

5)\u00a0The \"Show Off\"\u00a0Workshop Owner<\/h1>\nHe will dress\u00a0up as the richest man in the industrial park. With slick-back hair, a shiny\u00a0gold ring on his thumb and long pinky nail, he shakes his leg constantly and can be heard even before you see him. This type of workshop owner requires some bootlicking skills from you to get good deals out of him, be it in throwing in a free car wash or an extra bottle of car wax.\n\n\"\"\n\n
\n\n

6) The \"Bao Ka Liao\" Workshop Owner<\/h1>\nThe best workshop owner\u00a0you can hand your car to. He welcomes whatever problem you have with your car with open arms. Embracing car stalls and engine overhaul problems, his pet phrase is \u201cNo problem\u201d. His personality is entirely opposite from the \u201cNO\u201d workshop owner\u00a0and will solve whichever problem your car might have.\n\n\"\"\n\n
