ES Premium Group Sdn Bhd
A Family Legacy of Precision Care Since 1995
Founded by Tan Cheng Hong in 1995 on Jalan Raya, Kota Damansara, ES Premium Group has been serving the local community for over two decades. What began as a small family workshop has grown into a trusted name in automotive aftersales — passed down through generations of hands-on expertise and an unwavering commitment to quality.
Why ES Premium Group Sdn Bhd
A Legacy of Care Passed Down Through Two Generations
Founded in 1995 by Tan Seng Hock on Jalan Sungai Besi, ES Premium Group has been a cornerstone of the Kota Damansara community for over two decades. The business was initially run from a small workshop and grew into a full-service automotive centre under the guidance of Tan Seng Hock’s son, Tan Wei Ming, who now leads the team. This multi-generational approach ensures that every service is carried out with personal care, attention to detail, and a deep-rooted understanding of local vehicle needs.
Deep Local Roots with Personal Relationships
Unlike large chain competitors, ES Premium Group serves as more than just a garage — it’s part of the fabric of Kota Damansara. The family has built long-term relationships with dozens of local families who trust them not only for their technical skills but also for their genuine concern for their vehicles and peace of mind. Customers often refer to the team by name, and many return year after year because they feel valued as individuals rather than just clients.
Customized Service for Malaysian Driving Conditions
With over 25 years of experience serving the unique demands of Malaysian roads, ES Premium Group tailors its services to match the realities of local driving — from frequent stop-and-go traffic to monsoon-heavy weather that affects suspension and braking systems. Their technicians have developed an intimate knowledge of how these conditions impact different makes and models commonly driven in Selangor, making their expertise invaluable for accurate diagnosis and effective repairs.
Inside the workshop
Frequently asked
ES Premium Group started in 1995 when my father, Lim Kok Seng, opened the first workshop on Jalan SS7/26 in Kota Damansara. We've been family-run for nearly 30 years now - my father and I have been working together since 2008 after he passed down the business to me. Unlike big chain shops, we know every customer by name, and we can trace back specific service records for vehicles that have been coming here since 2005. We've seen the same families bring their cars here for generations, and we're proud to be part of their automotive journey.
I appreciate the question, but let me be honest with you. In 2015, we did offer complimentary oil changes as a marketing tactic when we were expanding our customer base, but it wasn't sustainable because we were selling our service below cost to get customers. We actually had to reduce staff hours for a while and couldn't invest in new equipment. We've learned from that experience - now, we charge fair prices for quality service because our workshop is fully equipped with genuine parts, and our mechanics have 15-20 years of experience with multiple vehicle brands. We'd rather offer value than lose money just to get your business.
In 2018, we started implementing a transparent pricing system that shows customers exactly what they're paying for. For instance, if someone brings in their Toyota Camry with brake issues, I'll explain that brake pads are $85 each for genuine parts, the labor is $60/hour, and there's a $30 inspection fee - all clearly itemized on the quote. My father always believed in honest pricing, so we never overcharge, but we also don't underprice our services to the point where we can't maintain quality. If you're not satisfied with any repair, we'll fix it again at no additional cost - I've done this 4 times in the past 3 years and it's part of my personal guarantee.
I can tell you that my father opened this business in 1995, and we've had families like the Lim family who brought their Honda Accord here since 2003 - they now have three generations of cars serviced here. My own son is now learning the business, so I'm not just passing it down to him for his future career, but for our entire community's trust. When a customer brings in their vehicle, I personally check it before signing off on any work. If you're bringing your family car here, you're getting my personal commitment to its safety and performance - it's not just about the service, it's about our family's reputation.
“My father has been bringing his Toyota Camry to ES Premium Group for over 15 years now, and I've been going there since 2022 when I bought my first car. The mechanic Mr. Lim always remembers my car's history and gives honest advice - he even helped me troubleshoot my new car's air conditioning during the monsoon season last year.”
