    KATC Autotrans is the first local workshop to be equipped with a Dyno test system for gearboxes and one of few with the expertise to deal with transmissions.


    When it comes to servicing your prized ride, most people focus mainly on the engine. There's no doubt that the powerplant is the main component giving the car the drive it requires. However, there are also many other equally important components that are often neglected.

    Due to its complexity, few workshops are well-versed with automotive gearboxes
    One such example is the transmission. Due to its complexity, most owners do not know much about the gearbox. Like any other mechanical components, the gearbox is subjected to wear and tear, which can lead to failure without proper and regular maintenance. This can lead to hefty bills arising from repairs and even replacements.

    There are many causes of gearbox failure. Besides wear and tear, driving style can also affect the durability of the vehicle's transmission. Cars experiencing cooling problems are also more prone to having overheating issues with their transmission.

    Who is KATC Autotrans and what services does it offer?

    Back in 1993, with few other local workshops dealing with automotive transmission, Raymond Khang founded KATC Autotrans (formally known as Khang Auto Transmission Centre) to cater to motorists' needs. Khang worked with automotive workshops and dealers in the initial years of his start up, before offering direct services to car owners.

    What makes KATC Autotrans different from its competitors?

    Having been through professional training in Germany and United States, Khang has acquired substantial knowledge in the field. As such, he ensures that every gearbox servicing is carried out using proper procedures.

    He also understands the nature of the industry, which requires him to keep up with times. In the early years of start up, his company was the first in Singapore to be equipped with a Dyno test system for transmission.

    Khang is also constantly upgrading himself. For instance, he just returned from a dual-clutch transmission training course in China. In the coming months, Khang will also be attending courses related to nine and ten-speed transmissions, which are fitted to some of the latest car models in the market such as the Range Rover Evoque, Jeep Cherokee and the upcoming Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe.

    KATC is equipped with some of the most advanced diagnostic tools for car transmissions
    Khang has been a member of the Auto Transmission Service Group (ATSG) since 1995. The ATSG is a community that proactively organises seminars, trainings and exhibitions to promote knowledge of automotive transmission and update members of the latest news in the industry.

    What other services does KATC Autotrans provide?

    Besides specialising in gearbox diagnosis and maintenance, KATC Autotrans also provides servicing for all car makes and models. To fully utilise his expertise in the field, Khang also plans to provide consultation and training services to other workshops in the area of automotive gearboxes.
