Autogate Contractors: Watch Out for Price Dumping
When it comes to autogates, sure, price is important lah, but what’s even more crucial is the quality of the autogate you’re getting. Always check that the product is original and brand new. Many customers only look for the cheapest option without considering the quality of the autogate or who’s doing the installation.
In the beginning, everything may seem fine, but later on, you might find yourself forking out more money for repairs on a malfunctioning autogate. Investing in a solid, high-quality autogate from a reputable supplier will save you headaches and extra costs in the long run. So, don’t skimp on quality—make the smart choice!
The Hidden Costs of CHEAP Autogate System
If you want cheap work with no quality, that’s exactly what you’ll get. Just take a look at the autogate market today. How can some autogate contractors offer prices lower than the dealer prices? They offer prices that are below our cost prices. They can easily dump prices because they cut corners. Yes, they are cheating (tipu).
You know how these autogate contractors play dirty tricks? They won’t even tell you if the autogate is new or not. They might just use secondhand autogate parts like old auto gate control board, auto gate transformer, and even worn-out DC motor autogate arms. When customers start asking for cheaper prices, these auto gate guys will do whatever it takes to cut costs. They might buy a new auto gate arm set from a auto gate supplier but then replace it with secondhand autogate parts and sell the new ones to other customers. The outside of the product might look brand new, but inside, it’s packed with used autogate parts.
Contractors who do price dumping are just messing up the market, lah. Like, if the current price for autogates is between RM 1600 and RM 1900, and they offer prices way lower, it’s gonna hurt the good companies out there. Remember, investing in quality is key for long-term reliability and peace of mind, okay? If you keep chasing cheap prices, you’re just setting yourself up to be the next victim.

Many Hit & Run Cases In Autogate Industry
A lot of cases out there where the autogate installer disappears after installing the autogate. Sometimes just a few months later, the autogate spoils, and even though it’s still under warranty, the customer can’t reach the original auto gate installer. Then they have to find another reliable autogate service and pay again for repairs. If from the start, you’d gotten a new and good quality autogate from a trusted company and invested a bit more in a good system, you wouldn’t face these issues. Established autogate companies with years in the industry take care of their reputation by providing top service with brand-new, original autogate products.
New Autogate Spoils Fast, Installer Nowhere to Be Found
We recently heard back from a customer from Jalan Kebun who had issues with their autogate, installed only 3 months ago. This customer actually called us before for an autogate installation quote, and we provided all the details. But in the end, they went with another auto gate installer who offered a slightly cheaper price. Now, they’re trying to contact that installer but can’t get hold of him anymore. They don’t even know the installer’s company name or where to find them! So, they remembered us and asked if we could come over to check their autogate.
No matter what autogate issues the customers face, we’re here to help and provide the best autogate solutions. After our inspection, we found that the autogate control panel was damaged and to our surprise, it wasn’t even a new auto gate board. The autogate guy used a secondhand control board for this customer. And there wasn’t even a battery in the system, although the customer said their autogate package was supposed to include the auto gate 12V 7aH backup battery. No wonder they’ve been having power trips and an autogate that won’t open, forcing the customer to climb over their gate to get in!
What can the customer do now? Pay for the swing autogate motherboard and the autogate backup battery. He got no choice, because the autogate guy can’t be contacted anymore. Actually, he’s not alone in this. If you check out our latest autogate news, you’ll see that we help hundreds of customers each week. Can you imagine the number of victims out there? It’s quite alarming to think about how many people have faced similar issues with their autogates, often due to choosing cheaper options that compromise quality.

Choosing Cheap Autogate Installers? Expect the Consequences!
Not everyone is a victim; some are aware of the risks but choose to take them anyway. They’re being stingy and trying to save a few bucks, but it often backfires. When their autogate installers disappear, they often reach out to us, and sometimes, they take their frustrations out on us. Some enquiries have even said they would go to the autogate installers’ office if installers don’t come to service them. But think, “What are you talking about?” It’s quite childish, really. The truth is, many of these installers don’t even have an office for you to go to! The way they talk is very rude and disrespectful. Sorry, but we only take jobs from customers who have a positive attitude and show appreciation for our work.
Some customers even say, “The autogate installer gave a one-year warranty; if anything goes wrong, he’ll come back.” But look, many of these installers struggle with basic expenses like food—how would they afford to rent an office or workshop? They’re doing autogate work as a side job, just testing the market to see if this industry suits them.
If customers opt for the lowest price and gamble on inexperienced installers, they should be prepared for the potential risks. When these installers disappear, they often come to us frustrated, expecting us to fix issues caused by their choices. Some even assume their installer will come back because of a so-called “warranty.” But let’s be real—many of these contractors struggle with even basic expenses, let alone an office or a workshop. Autogate is often a side hustle for them, just to test the waters. Reliable service has a price; it’s worth investing to ensure long-term support and quality!
