About Advance Auto Parts (AAP)

Most roadside battery services in Singapore are run by people who got into the trade because it was convenient. Bobby Ng is not one of them.

Bobby’s working life began in 1991 with the Singapore Home Team Police Force. For five years, he served on the front line — managing people in high-pressure situations, making quick decisions under stress, and holding himself to a standard where cutting corners was simply not an option. That sense of duty didn’t leave when he changed uniforms.

In 1996, Bobby was selected to join Singapore Airlines as an Aircraft Artisan — a role that demands a level of precision most people will never experience. For 17 years, he maintained commercial aircraft for one of the world’s most respected airlines. In aviation, a missed step isn’t just a mistake — it has consequences. Bobby learned to do everything right the first time, every time.

When Bobby founded Advance Auto Parts in 2019, he brought every bit of that background with him. The same discipline that kept aircraft in the air is what drives how he runs AAP — arriving on time, diagnosing correctly, explaining clearly, and never leaving a job half-done.

That’s why 1,452+ Singapore drivers have given AAP a 5-star review. It’s not marketing — it’s what happens when a mechanic actually cares.

Diagnose before replacing

We run a computerised battery test on every job. If your battery doesn’t need replacing, we’ll tell you — and only charge for a jumpstart. We don’t replace batteries that don’t need replacing. Ever.

Quote before dispatch

When you call, we ask your car model and give you a price before we send anyone out. The price you hear on the phone is the price you pay. No “assessment fees” added on arrival.

Explain before touching

Our mechanic tells you what they found, what they recommend, and why — before doing anything. You make the decision. We’ve found that most customers appreciate knowing what’s actually happening with their car.

Test after installation

After fitting the new battery, we test the charging system (alternator output) and verify everything is reading correctly before leaving. A job isn’t done until it’s confirmed working. This is standard in aviation — it’s standard at AAP.

Issue a receipt for every job

Every service includes an official invoice with the battery brand, model, installation date, and warranty period clearly stated. You’ll always know what you paid for and when your warranty expires.

Honour the warranty without hassle

If a battery fails within the 1-year warranty period due to a manufacturing defect, we come back to you. No interrogation, no endless back-and-forth. You kept your receipt — we keep our word.

Our flagship brand for Japanese and Korean cars. Engineered specifically for high-heat tropical climates, AKIRO batteries consistently outperform general-market brands in Singapore conditions. Available exclusively through AAP — you won’t find these anywhere else.

Mission

To provide every Singapore driver who calls us with honest advice, fast response, and a battery solution that actually solves their problem — not just the one that’s easiest to sell. We measure success one driver at a time, not by transaction volume.

Vision

To be the name Singapore drivers think of first when their car won’t start — not because of the biggest advertising budget, but because someone they trust told them about us. Word of mouth, built on 1,452+ genuine reasons to recommend AAP.

Accountability

We give realistic ETAs and we keep them. If something goes wrong, we say so — and we fix it. No excuses, no passing the blame.

Transparency

Price quoted before we leave. Diagnosis explained in plain language. Receipt issued for every job. No hidden costs, ever.

Precision

Seventeen years in aviation means Bobby doesn’t guess. Every job is diagnosed, not assumed. The right battery for the right car — fitted correctly.

Customer First

When you’re stranded, you’re already stressed. We keep the process calm, clear, and fast. A relieved customer who calls us again is better than a one-time sale.
