Quality Auto Repair (QAR) is an auto repair and maintenance workshop at Toh Guan Centre, founded by August Zettel, an ASE-certified mechanic with over 25 years of automotive experience, including a background as a regional fleet manager for a top logistics company. The workshop is built around precision, honesty and fair local Singapore pricing, with a service style the team describes as reflecting USA dealership-style professionalism.
QAR covers a broad range of servicing, from routine maintenance and safety checks through to vehicle diagnostics, mechanical and electrical repair, and accessories installation, with deep knowledge across all vehicle types, including EVs. The team places a strong emphasis on a customer-first approach and on building a highly skilled group of technicians.
Customers can visit the workshop directly or book an appointment via the online form, WhatsApp or email, and can wait in an air-conditioned customer lounge while their vehicle is serviced.
Quality Auto Repair, known as QAR, operates out of Toh Guan Centre with a simple guiding line: driven by quality, powered by service. The workshop was founded by August Zettel, an ASE-certified mechanic with more than 25 years of automotive experience, including time leading a top logistics company as a regional fleet manager — a background that shows up in how the workshop is run.
QAR positions itself around precision, honesty and fair local Singapore pricing, describing its approach as quality-driven with no shortcuts. The workshop itself reflects USA dealership-style professionalism, aiming for a clean, integrity-focused service experience — right down to an air-conditioned customer lounge where clients can wait comfortably while their vehicle is serviced.
The workshop covers the full spectrum of car care. Routine maintenance includes regular oil changes and analysis, fluid top-ups and battery inspections, all aimed at keeping engines running smoothly and vehicles reliable. Safety and performance checks cover tyre condition, lighting functionality and exhaust system integrity, helping catch issues that affect roadworthiness before they become bigger problems.
For deeper issues, QAR uses diagnostic tools to scan vehicles, optimise performance and catch potential faults early, before they turn into breakdowns. On the repair side, the team handles mechanical and electrical work including brake maintenance, engine diagnostics and suspension fixes, while also offering accessories installation covering transmission services, air conditioning maintenance and bodywork restoration.
With deep knowledge spanning all vehicle types, including EVs, QAR is set up to service a wide customer base rather than specialising narrowly in one type of car. This breadth, combined with the founder's ASE certification and fleet management background, underpins the workshop's claim to industry-leading expertise.
QAR describes a customer-first approach as central to how it operates, alongside a commitment to building a highly skilled team of technicians. The workshop also understands that car issues don't always happen on a convenient schedule, so it aims to offer flexibility around emergency requests where possible.
Customers can visit the shop directly, or reach out to book an appointment through QAR's online form, WhatsApp, or email. The workshop is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm and Saturday from 8am to 12pm, and is closed on Sundays and public holidays.
