Yes, the garage is on the left side of Petchkasem Rd going north, just before the traffic lights opposite the palace, road frontage. There are a couple of places along there, he has the name "L Garage" written up.

Booked it in for service on tuesday. I think the sign says L Service. He only sells mobily oil so bought the Castrol from the test garage shop and only 980 for 4 litres.

Agree with Nereus with brake fluid being hygroscopic and deteriorating over time, particularly in a high humidity environment. Moisture generally ends up in the master cylinder, piston actuating assembly on disc brakes and in the cylinder housing for drum brakes, ultimately resulting corrosion and the need to replace the components. Likewise if the vehicle has a manual transmission replacement of clutch fluid is also recommended. Use a replacement fluid of the correct DOT rating for the vehicle.
